:mjlol:

It's funny a movie like "Looper" drops, and everyone talks about how unrealistic the time traveling is...."Primer" dropped 10 years ago and nobody watched it.

Came across this explanation of the ending on a sci-fi board makes sense to me.:ehh:You buying it?? :ohhh:

Hi there.
I have been wathcing this movie once or twice a year since it was released. Needless to tell, I have been speculating about the end quite a lot. Not through my genius but through some goodluck I stumbled on the answer of what happens in the end. Yes I said the answer, since it came from Terry's mouth.

The Hamster factor is a short film , aka the making of twelve monkeys. This film is an extra on a rental DVD that I got my hands on. Somewhere during this sequence of raw and unmastered scenes, Terry gets in an argument with the producer: Terry wants the film to end in the Airport where Railly makes eye contact with young Cole. The producer says he wants the airplane scene with the confusing dialoque we all know so well.

In the end Terry agrees to end the film with the airplane scene followed by the crane shot in the parking area. Terry says something in the likes of : "Maybe it was a good idea. The viewers can know that Cole's death was not in vain, since he led miss Jones and her team to the virus"

I hope this concludes a very long thread!


Yup, that was what I took from the ending as well.

12 Monkeys is one of the movies on my watchlist for over 10 years but sadly it did not live up to the hype. It's a decent movie but the buck stops there. Brad Pitt is teeeeeeeeeeeeeerrible in the movie, how he got his Oscar nom for this stuff is beyond me.

Nah girl on the plane was just a coincidence. She didn't get sent back. That scene was just meant to show how the "scientists" of the future were regular *ss people in the past.
Who knew how to run time machines? They obviously wanted the origins to use the time machine to stop this thing. Then she says "I'm in insurance."

I mean I don't know.
