If the audience hadn't watched the first half of the movie, they would also think that James was making a lot of quibbles in the movie.Many viewers have already cursed those ineffective policemen and doctors in their hearts. They are here to save the earth, but you think they are crazy!According to this logic, Superman and Batman should have been sent to hell long ago, right?It's a pity that the cursing voices of the audience were useless. Jed was not only sent to the lunatic asylum but also became the key care object in the lunatic asylum.

Because he is not only crazy, but also extremely destructive and destructive.In the eyes of psychiatrists, it is always telling people that only 10% of human beings will survive in the future, and they are still lingering underground.Who believes?As the doctor listened to James' confession, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.It's fine for such severe mental patients to be locked up in a madhouse to fend for themselves, why bother to listen to their complaints?

Not only the doctors were impatient with James' words, but even most mental patients thought James was very special. The only person who was interested in James' words was a young man named Jeffrey.Geoffrey has always been a recognized tragedy in the madhouse because he was sent here by his biological father.It is said that Jeffrey is an animal protectionist, and it is quite an extreme kind.But his father is an epidemiologist, and what he does most often is animal experiments, which makes Jeffrey unacceptable.

So he tried to set fire to his father's laboratory, but was unfortunately discovered by his father.After the father-son communication failed, Jeffrey was sent to the madhouse by his father on the grounds of "severe arsonism" and "extremely destructive psychological disorder of revenge".But Jeffrey has become James' best confidant partner, because he believes that the future James describes exists.Jeffrey even told James that his father was developing a very special virus antibody.

But in order to obtain this antibody, the virus must first be cultivated.Hearing Jeffrey's eloquent talk, James suddenly realized that Jeffrey's father was most likely the discoverer of the plague virus.Regardless of how James views Jeffrey at this time, Jeffrey has already regarded James as a "comrade".In order to help this "comrade" from the future escape from the asylum and continue his role, Jeffrey tried his best to help James escape from the asylum.But not long after James escaped from the lunatic asylum, the future man was arrested soon.

"This is the stupidest mission I've ever seen!" James sneered as soon as he saw the scientist. "Who told me that the mission would never go wrong? Why didn't I appear in Philadelphia in 1996 but in 1990?" Baltimore?"

The scientist's face was a little ugly, because not only James was angry, but the big shots and the army were also angry.Human beings who have been trapped underground for a long time actually have a very limited distribution of various materials, and the time traveler will consume a lot of energy and resources once he opens it. "I guarantee that there will be no problems in the next time travel. But for this person, there is no point in staying. His exploration mission has been completed." The scientist sneered.He's full of anger now, and naturally he wants James to die.

"Are you sure you won't make mistakes this time?" James immediately understood that scientists were planning to deprive him of his existence value, so he immediately emphasized his ability. "The last time you sent me to Baltimore in 1990, this time you can guarantee that it must be Philadelphia in 1996, not Miami in 1992 or Los Angeles in 1998?"

"Continue to let him perform the task, he has more experience than any of us." Soon the big man made a decision.

Although the scientist was upset, he still arranged for James to continue to enter the time traveler.This time, scientists still reliably sent James to Philadelphia in 1996, a few months before the outbreak of the plague.At this time, James suddenly felt that he shouldn't be too selfish. Since he has the ability, why doesn't he think of a way to solve the biggest trouble of human beings?But what makes James a little strange is that he found an extreme animal protection organization here-the 12 Monkey Legion.

They are against all animal testing, whether in the beauty industry or the medical industry.They use horrific means to test animals. From time to time, news spreads that scientists have been killed and laboratories have been burned down.What puzzled James was that some of the theories of this protection organization coincided with his own.A name came to James' mind, Jeffrey.So James began to investigate the relationship between the 12 Monkeys and Jeffrey, because in later generations, the 12 Monkeys were famous.

Because it was the extreme animal protectionism of the 12 monkey legions that released an experimental monkey from an institute of infectious diseases, causing the deadly plague to spread around the world.What is even more unacceptable is that they also killed all the researchers and burned down the laboratory. According to people familiar with the matter, the laboratory is actually about to develop a vaccine.It can be said that these extreme animal protectionists have opened Pandora's box, but have wiped out hope.

The next plot is the story of James investigating the 12 monkey legions. At the same time, James also met Catherine, a psychiatrist who had met him several times back then.But Catherine no longer knew James, because she thought James was still in the madhouse.Unlike other physicians, Catherine had some sympathy for James.It is also because of this sympathy that James feels that the earth still has something worthy of his memory, and that human beings really should not be destroyed.

During his time with Catherine, James became more and more nostalgic for human beings, and he began to take the initiative to find ways to prevent the tragedy from happening.What pleased James was that he successfully prevented the virus leak he had seen in his dream.But an assistant sneaks away, and a female scientist's sudden visit seems to hint at something.Just when everyone wanted to continue to develop because of the plot of the movie, the story came to an abrupt end here...

"What the hell is this talking about?" The film critic suddenly realized that his IQ was not enough.Because they can't accuse Jed of not filming the whole story, according to the plot, Jed has told the whole story.James, who was a child, witnessed the virus leak with his own eyes, which caused him to become violent when he grew up, and he was put in the laboratory as a lunatic.But because of the needs of the space-time rescue plan, James was sent to Baltimore in 1990 as a test subject.There, James meets the culprit Jeffrey.

What James didn't expect was that Jeffrey became an extreme animal protectionist because of James' words. It can be said that everything James saw in his childhood was caused by James' time travel as an adult.When James crossed for the second time, he naturally went straight to Jeffrey, and he finally stopped Jeffrey.But what James didn't know was that the beginning of human tragedy started in another place... History did not change without James' intervention, but history achieved the electric shock needed for this historical process through different people in different places.

Jed not only clearly told the audience what the "Novikov Principle of Self-Consistency" is, but also criticized and studied human nature in the film.For James, is he a hero?For Jeffrey, is he a lunatic or an environmentalist?Jed leaves many questions in the film, each of which has a depth that is not so easily answered.

The film critics suddenly felt that they didn't know what to say, because what Jade left behind was not only a wonderful science fiction story, but also a story rich in philosophy.For example, the earth without humans at the beginning of the movie is still quiet and peaceful. No one knows whether the existence of humans is good or bad for the earth.

Many film critics suddenly discovered that Jed has never left the category of art films. Since the first film "Jurassic Park" he started to participate in, Jed has been thinking about the relationship between man and nature and between people. .Even in this suspenseful sci-fi movie, Jed's humanistic thinking still fills the whole movie.

"This is not only the work of an excellent director, but the work of a film master." Roger Ebert wrote in his little notebook. "Although Mr. Jed Sherman claims that he prefers to shoot commercial films, each of his works is full of various thoughts. This kind of thinking will not affect the pleasure of watching movies for ordinary audiences, but for those who want to deeply understand Sherman For Mr. Man, these thoughts are the quickest way for you to understand him. In "12 Monkeys", Jed told people a question, 'Maybe the history we live in is the history that has been changed' , so for those who delusional time travel to achieve something for nothing, this does not seem to be a happy answer. It seems that Mr. Sherman himself once said in an interview that he would rather change Accept. In this movie, Jed is actually implying that no matter whether things in the future are good or bad, it is wise to accept and find other ways forward. Of course, some people may object to this attitude in life, but we also It must be admitted that this is a choice full of wisdom and courage."

Despite the film's positive reception, the box office was hit by the Christmas holidays, with "12 Monkeys" finishing in the top 20 at the weekend.Of course, all the new films this week are ranked after the top 20, and "12 Monkeys" is the best-performing film among the new films.But Jed is not worried. After the audience's movie-watching habits return to normal next week, the chances of "12 Monkeys" counterattacking the list are still quite high.

At this time, Jed began to think about the work arrangement in 1996. According to Jed's conception, he planned to shoot a series of action films in 1996.Firstly, Galaxy Films has already accumulated its first batch of wealth, so it must declare its existence with some big-budget action movies; secondly, big-budget action movies are indeed box office darlings, and next year will be a year of consolidation of its own industries. If there is no such blockbuster to bomb the box office, I'm afraid there will be some unfavorable rumors.

John Woo has already proven he can shoot Hollywood action blockbusters, and Jade plans to let him direct a spy movie series.Wu Yusen once filmed the second episode of this series of movies in later generations, and it was praised as the best episode.Therefore, Jade intends to let Wu Yusen take over the film from the first episode, creating a spy movie that is completely different from "007".Jed has contacted the screenwriter of the TV version of the film and the author of the original author, and negotiated the authorization of the adaptation.

This will be the first work of next year's Galaxy movie to bomb the screen, and that is "Mission: Impossible 1".
