Twelve Monkeys (1995)
This movie is so weird and confusing, when I watched it with my mom and brother, I kept pressing pause and asking them to explain what was happening. Then, when it was all over and the credits rolled, I still didn’t get it! As the years passed, my memory of the unexplained faded, so I have even less of an idea of what it was about than I did back then.
Bruce Willis stars in this sci-fi thriller as a man from the future who travels back in time to prevent a disease outbreak in the past. Of course, something goes wrong, and he winds up in a mental institution. He meets Brad Pitt, a literally raving lunatic, and Christopher Plummer and Madeleine Stowe, psychologists at the hospital.
From there, my memory grows hazy. There’s quite a bit of discussion of time travel, going to the past, the past becoming the present, the present being the future, going crazy, crazy people being sane, truth, and illusion. If you can decipher any of it, you’re smarter than I am.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. There are some canted angles and swirling camera motions, especially when the spiral staircase is shown, and it make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to adult subject matter, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
