The movie never changes. It can’t change. But every time you see it, it seems different, because you’re different.
He (Bruce Willis) was the kid at the airport iirc so it wasn't a dream but he witnessing the apocalypse happening in real time with himself as an adult coming from the future being part of it.
TLDR: There where 2 Bruce Willis in the final scene, 1 was a kid coming from the present and the other an adult coming from the future and being part of the unavoidable chain of events that caused the outbreak
The very short: It wasn't a dream, it was a memory. Everything happened in a closed timeloop.
The "Insurance person" at the end was also a time traveller, to get a sample of the original virus for repopulating earth in the future. Most probably a one-time trip to keep her sanity.
@@Cau_No There's no time travel "time loop" there's only a plot loop
Hi Dasha, Stockholm Syndrome is named after a failed bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973 where 3 women and 1 man were held hostage for 6 days by the robber who also negoitated the release of his friend from prison to help him.
After 6 days the hostages were released, however they sympathised with their captors and refused to testify against them. Instead they raised money to help their defense.
N.B The Director of 12 Monkeys, Terry Gilliam, was a member of Monty Python. He did the animations and directed their films. You've watched The Life of Brian and Holy Grail, other Terry Gilliam films you might enjoy are Brazil or if you want another comedy try Time Bandits.
This is the way that Stokholm Syndrome has been popularized, but the truth is more messed up.
In essence, the cops and the psychologist who 'invented' the term did a bunch of dangerous stuff, including putting the hostages themselves in firther dager by trying to antagonize the hostage-takers (potentially provoking them into hurting the hostages) and putting the hostages in the crossfire.
When the hostages said 'I felt like the Police were a bigger danger to my saftey than the hostage-takers'... gotta come up with a new crazy-person disorder, because the cops would never make people unsafe! [/sarcasm]
@@paulchaisson8301 Yes- the cops bungled the whole thing. When the hostages tried to speak out against the cops' actions, they hired a psychologist to make up Stockholm Syndrome to blame the victims, even though their criticisms about the police and their actions were valid.
It is also sometimes called Helsinki syndrome but that's actually the syndrome where you can't tell Scandinavian countries apart.
@@paulchaisson8301 Yea, that makes a lot more sense. The older i get the better i understand how the victims could get sympathy with the hostage takers against the police.
Dasha, the little boy at the airport was James. He saw himself be shot, and that's why he dreams about it and about her. The insurance woman on the plane was the woman in James's future who sends him back in time to collect the samples.
The director of this film is Terry Gilliam. He was the American member of the Monty Python group, he mostly did the animation. He's made many films as a director that are worth seeing: Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Brothers Grimm and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. His SciFi trilogy is Brazil, 12 Monkeys, The Zero Theorem. The films are not related.
It didn't get a whole lot of play because of all the drama surrounding it, but I really liked the Man Who Killed Don Quixote as well. Such an amazing filmmaker.
Also _The Fisher King_ with Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams is excellent. About a down-on-his-luck celebrity radio host trying to help a homeless guy get his life back together.
In my opinion, this is how time travel movies should be like. That what happened has already happened, and it can't be changed.
This, because everything else would lead to a time paradox. If he had been able to prevent the outbreak, no one in the future would have known that an outbreak was even about to happen and therefore no one would have sent him back in time. But then he wouldn't have been there to prevent the outbreak and it would have happened.
What was brilliant about this, is because all of the time travellers throughout history whom tried to warn everyone, ended up inspiring the one whom released it. Dr Peters probably thought (during Dr Railly's lecture): "Wow, all of these people in all these time periods all claim that a deadly virus would be released this year...And I just happen to have access to such viruses, and the motive to do release them."
Actually this is how it works.
Nothing can be change. If anything changes, I guess it would be in another paralel time line.
@@Oi....
Agree 💯%! A head-scratcher that begs to be rewatched. 😉
but maybe time isnt linear
I saw this movie in a theater on its original release, and the entire audience filed out in total silence after it ended. My wife and I got to the car and just sat in it for about five minutes before we could even figure out how to talk about what we had seen.
I watched it at least twice before I even asked the question "What the F*ck did I just watch?"
@@ChurchNietzscheyou watched perfection 😊
One of Bruces finest performances, a PROPER bit of acting (as opposed to simple action hero roles)
So glad he got the chance to branch out and prove himself before his health curtailed his career
The pronunciation of the word "advertisement" depends on where you are. The way you thought it was pronounced is the way it is said in the North American continent. The way she said it in the movie is more common in England. Obviously, she wasn't British so I don't know why she said it that way.
You are wrong, in UK we say it how Dasha says it. In US they say it like the lady says it
@@Baha88 Sorry, but you are wrong. Born and raised in the United States and nobody in this country ever says the Madeline method of advertisement "except" for a small number of upper class people in the northeast....who, themselves, inherited that pronunciation from upper class London residents. Moreover, you can find dozens and dozens of videos and guides and etymologies from any google search right this very moment that clearly define the "British English" version as the phonetic "add ver tiss ment" whereas the "American English" version as the phonetic "add ver ties ment" .
She may have used the British pronunciation because director Terry Gilliam wanted her to. He's was American by birth but Spent most of his life in the UK. He's been a British citizen since 1968 and later formally renounced his US citizenship.
I have never in my life heard that kind of pronunciation. Watched numerous movies, shows, science channels. British or USA, it does not matter, never heard it like this
@@laertesindeed nobody in the country? Except that one lady in the movie so you are already wrong. I've grew up in the UK my whole life and only ever heard that pronunciation on American TV shows
This is one of the greatest movies of the 1990's. So many twist and turns and I have always loved that he created his own red herrings that lead to his own death.
You have the most purest, kindest soul and the biggest, most compassionate heart Dasha, in each reaction you do I love how you literally feel every single emotion, it's like you're living the movie, we need your positivity and bright, loving vibes Dasha, I'm so glad to count you as a friend even though we haven't met :)
What's really crazy is that the world's population has increased by 2 billion since this movie was released.
And we're using more and more resources (especially in the West) in a world with finite resources. Which we're taking from other species e.g. by deforestation. Which is why we're in the middle of a mass extinction event.
3 Billions
@@IcyTorment This. The ecoterrorists have brainwashed people into believing that resources aren't limitless and that humans actually have an impact on the environment. Sad!
@@speleokeirno we aren't. It's the third world pumping out endless mouths to Feed. Only way to blame the West is we give them resources, otherwise their numbers wouldn't be so bad.
James sees the photograph of the pig’s head statue, then he sees the actual pig’s head statue above the door. It’s so unique that you, the viewer, see the pig’s head once, then you remember it later, just like James did.
Genius filmmaking.
Definitely rewatch this- now you know the major plot points, it's fun seeing all the little details that connect up.
This is one of my favorite films. It has many working parts, but in the end everything meshes together. The only other film I've seen that works this well is 'Arrival'. Like Arrival, it holds up to repeated viewing. It even cheekily comments on that when Cole observes in the movie theater that the film never changes, but it's different each time you watch it because YOU change.
I love how James & Katherine's perspectives completely swap over the course of the movie. This is a brilliant script, memorably executed by Terry Gilliam and the amazing cast.
If you enjoyed the directing style of this movie, I highly recommend “Brazil”; another Terry Gilliam film.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas as well
And zero theorem... the third of the trilogy
@@pymsapero7644
What?
The trilogy is Time Bandits (childhood), Brazil (adulthood), and Baron Munchausen (old age).
@@BubbaCoop Yes! And Brazil, 12 Monkeys and Zero Theorem are also too. His Dystopian Trilogy some say!
You can watch this during several times of your life and it hits different each time
The one thing that always hits the same for me is how beautiful Madeline Stowe was in the movie. Breath taking.
Too bad she went the plastic surgery route later in life.
One of my top 5 favorites. I've probably watched it 30 times 😂
I believe this is the second time I heard you raise a query on the desk top card index so here it is. It is called a Rolodex. A rolling index where one would keep a contact list (before everything went digital). We started seeing them in the 1960’s but You can still purchase cards for it today.
There was a great reboot of this concept that you should consider watching if you're open to another T.V. show. It was also called 12 Monkeys, and had 47 episodes that aired over 4 seasons in 2015-2018.
Another movie with a fairly similar feel and vibe, although it goes a bit darker, is Jacob's Ladder. I haven't watched it in awhile now, but if memory serves, I highly recommend it
"Poor pooper"
ikr 😂
One of Brad Pitts best roles . And with modern radical enviromental movements were not far off from the Army of the 12 Monkeys XD
It was his first Oscar nomination.
--About the ending: The woman in insurance was one of the scientists from the future. This is actually more of a hopeful ending than it might first seem. At the beginning of the movie they said that their mission was to find the source of the virus in its purest form. Then they would send a scientist back to study it so they can create a cure for the future. So Bruce Willis actually succeeded in the mission and helped them at least start their plan to help the future. So there is a silver lining.
--As others have said, the recurring dream was actually Bruce/James remembering being at that same airport when he was a kid. And the kid who Kathryn locked eyes with at the end was a young Bruce Willis. (And she anticipated it was him because the adult Bruce had already told her that he remembered being at this same airport and seeing this murder take place.)
--Why did Bruce/James have a dream in the middle of the movie of Brad Pitt being the one to unleash the virus, but in the end it turned out to be the virologist's assistant? I have a theory about that. The conventional thinking is that Bruce/James simply got his memories confused, because he had met Brad Pitt by then, and so transplanted his face onto his memory.
However, I personally believe that when Bruce/James was younger, it WAS Brad Pitt who unleashed the virus. However, it was this memory that spurred him into telling Kathryn that Pitt had done it. And so Kathryn then warned the virologist father about it. This prompted him to make sure that his son/Pitt could never get the virus. However, the apocalypse still happened because it turned out the virologist's assistant--who still had access to the virus--was also a nut. So he ended up at the same airport, dressed roughly the same way that Jeffrey/Pitt would've if he hadn't been stopped.
Hi Dasha!🙂This is really one of those films you need to watch twice to understand everything. Great reactons to the crazy film Twelve Monkeys, Dasha!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I remember seeing this as a kid and not catching til years later the chairwoman on the flight. ("I'm in the insurance business.") At the time I thought it was just the film saying "Look how ironic it is" but now it seems more an open-ended nod to the future, that they finally put the last few pieces together and stopped things before they could even start.
she wasnt there to stop him, he had already released the virus at the airport, she was there to get a sample of the original virus so they could produce a cure
They didn't stop things because it already happened and you can't change the past.
Once Cole found the virus, she went back in time to get a sample of the original virus
I saw it as her being oblivious and having the answer but not knowing/believing it. All the people on the panel show up in key positions throughout the movie. They were there, but are oblivious. Only. Concerned with themselves till everything goes to sh_t. Probably only want to solve the problem so their past(?) lives weren't disturbed.
Stopping everything before it starts is exactly the antithesis of this movie's idea of time travel. The people in the future are going into the past not to change the past but to improve the future and study the virus so they can come back to the surface. You can't begin to understand this movie until you accept that nothing in the past can be changed, it's always the same as it ever was.
@@user-vq1bk5no3j Thanks, Dr. Brown.
Terry Gillian was in Monty Python and directed most of their movies and did all the art, he's great and such a unique artist/director
16:16 It's called a Rolodex (that's the brand name for the product that made this kind of device famous), and you're right: it _is_ a sort of personalized phone book. Of course, these days it's becoming more and more obsolete since people are using electronic contact lists in their smartphones instead.
Yes, the Rolodex concept has a lot of useful features, but since people rarely have/exchange business cards now, it is harder to build a contact database. You have to write out the cards yourself. However, it's very convenient to pick out a card for reference or to give your card to someone else instead of them entering all your details on their phone.
“Painful,” because “hurtful” has a more emotional connotation while “painful” tends to be more related to physical pain. “Pain” is also often used in a more general way. “Hurt” is usually more specific, and often is either an adjective or a verb, (ex. My head hurts; ex. I hurt him.)
“Advertisement,” can be pronounced either way. UK pronunciation is with a stress on the “vert” in “adVERTisement,” while the US pronunciation is is with the stress on the “tise” in “adverTISEment.”
Check out some other Terry Gilliam films: Brazil (1985;) Zero Theorem (2013;) The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) [Heath Ledger’s final role.]
The name of the syndrome is derived from a botched bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden. In August 1973 four employees of Sveriges Kreditbank were held hostage in the bank’s vault for six days. During the standoff, a seemingly incongruous bond developed between captive and captor.
One hostage, during a telephone call with Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, stated that she fully trusted her captors but feared that she would die in a police assault on the building.
The most infamous example of Stockholm syndrome may be that involving kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst. In 1974, some 10 weeks after being taken hostage by the Symbionese Liberation Army, Hearst helped her kidnappers rob a California bank.
The main point is: The boy at the end is Cole himself. He sees his future-self getting killed and is haunted by that scence his whole life without knowing exactly why, until he's an adult and gets sent back into the past. He tries to change the future but ultimately fails and the events unfold just as they have already before, when he was a little kid. To sum it up: He's stuck in an endless time loop unable to change the events or to escape from it. Basically it's the reversed message of Terminator 2.
I love it when she says to Cole "I feel like I've always known you." How many times have they been through the time loop?
I don't think he's stack in a loop, he's just confirming the counter-paradox theory that you can't change the future by traveling to the past.
The alternative theory is the parallel universes that gets created every time something is changed
@@sigzil1985 That's not about a time loop but his memories as a child
@@markmuller7962 But you see the child at the airport when adult Cole dies, that child grows up to be adult Cole getting shot in front of child Cole, who grows up to be adult Cole etc.
@@sigzil1985 It's not a loop though. They just needed to piece things together enough for them to save the world by the lady at the end in "Insurance".
Loved your reaction so much! Terry Gilliam is a wonderful filmmaker. While mostly associated with Monty Python his ability to make surreal dream like mind-bending movies is unmatched. You simply must watch "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", "Time Bandits" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" as they are all diverse but engaging adventures.
You got one thing 100% right. You have to watch this movie more than one time... :)
I love this movie, it took me a while to fully grasp it but I love it
Classic movie. Not very many movies or tv shows that deal with time travel do it this well. The TLDR is that everything he did in the past already happened. The 'dream' he keeps having is just a memory of him as a child seeing his older self shot in the airport. Everything they did to try and stop the contagion was pre-determined and ended up causing those in the future to fixate on the 12 Monkeys, who didn't end up having anything to do with the contagion, at least not directly. It's a sort of fatalistic look at the concept of time travel; what has happened will happen and you can't change it, and in trying to do so, you end up just being part of the story that's already written.
In the industry we are talking about a trilogy! Brazil, 12 monkey and zero theorem... Terry Gilliam is a great director 😉
After watching how badly the world bungled covid, I'm giving good odds that this is our future.
By the way, if you're interested there's an amazing - and criminally underseen - SyFy series loosely based on this movie. It's also titled 12 Monkeys, is on Hulu in the US, and is well worth watching in my opinion.
Also by the way, this is one of those movies that reward rewatching.
This movie is so chaotic. I love it. Terry Gilliam did a great job with this. Infinitely re-watchable.
And Brad Pitts performance in this film? ABSOLUTELY OSCAR WORTHY!
There's another scifi fllm with underground survivors of an apocalypse. Its called "A Boy and His Dog" (1975). However, all of the underground dwellers have pasty white skin due to a lack of sun exposure. More recently, I saw the TV series, "Silo" (2023) where 10,000 descendants of the original survivors of an above ground global disaster live within a huge underground silo. No one knows who built the silo or why. And several unexplained deaths keep occuring amongst them. Rebecca Ferguson (from the Mission Impossible films) is the lead actress.
As for "12 Monkeys". A great film!, A great TV series!, And a great book! (which I think was adapted from the film).
A couple of fun things to look for on rewatch: Jose' is in the black and white photo from WW1, the man in the medeival wood cut is the street corner preacher, and they pass many of the landmarks driving around in 1996 that Cole saw when he surfaced. Also COle picks up a sign with the 12 monkeys symbol on it when he first surfaces.
12:09 I've only really heard British people pronounce it the way she does in the movie.
one of the few movies that touches on timetravel jetlag. something that seems very obvious, but most pretty much brush it off with a couple of scenes. this one goes hard into the paint.
Hi Dasha. Ad-VER-tis-ment is more of a British pronunciation, while ad-ver-TISE-ment is a more American pronunciation. I can't tell you what's the more common Canadian pronunciation. But both are correct.
The "phone book" at 16:20 is called a Rolodex. Folks used to use them to keep people's contact information (usually kept on a desk or countertop) before the advent of smart phones.
This movie is based on the experimental french movie ''La jetée'' (29 minutes) from Chris Marker in 1962, the final scene comes from it. It is considered as a masterpiece.
"He disappeared again? He is a master of escaping".
He is not escaping. He is being transported back to his own time. They teleport him or bring him back in some way. This is why he is pulling two teeth out that has some chip in them. So they can't locate him any longer and pull him out from the timeline he is with her.
You know it's interesting Dasha that you mentioned it being like The Terminator (1984) with both films having the time travel element from an apocalyptic future.
12 Monkeys was actually based on a short, experimental black-and-white French film called La Jetée. Shot entirely in photos and without dialogue (besides a narration), it tells the story of a prisoner in a post-apocalyptic Paris who is selected to time travel into the past to save the future of humanity. Throughout the film, he is plagued by visions of himself as boy witnessing a man die at an airport observation platform. During his arrival in the past, he meets and falls in love with a woman, and after accomplishing the mission, he asks to be returned to the past to reunite with the woman, where he is placed at an airport platform, the exact one where his childhood version is at. He ends up killed and before he dies, he realises that the incident he witnessed as a child was his own death.
That film also inspired 'The Terminator' in the sense that it also features a man from a post-nuclear future travelling back in time to find a way to save it, falling in love with a blonde woman, and then dying in a predestination paradox. In one particular scene, Kyle Reese mentions as having volunteering to go back in time to protect Sarah Connor, who he fell in love at first sight through a picture of her taken in the past and which was given by her son to Kyle who was wondering how sad she looked in that photo. At the end of the film, that exact photo is taken whilst a pregnant Sarah is waiting for gas and sadly reminiscing of her deceased lover and father of her unborn child: Kyle Reese! So there's the similarity!
Also, you weren't the only one who mistook the red eye on Bruce Willis' face in the poster for him being cyborg. I also used to think he looked like the Terminator on that poster before I had seen this film. It's not until you look closer that you see it's the symbol of the Army of the 12 Monkeys which you saw in the trippy opening credits.
It's alright if you didn't have much to say Dasha. Was a lot to process 😊.
You can't begin to understand this movie until you accept the concept that you can NOT change the past even if you go back in time. You may disagree with this concept, but it's the framework that make the rules for this particular movie. All of the actions of the characters proceed as they always have. The scientists in the future even explicitly say their goal is not to change the past but to study the virus so they can one day return to the surface. The only thing they can change is their own future.
Madeline Stowe was great in Two Jakes, the Chinatown sequel. Frank Gorshin was the Riddler in the Batman series. The cab driver is Annie Golden, from Orange is the New Black, the Shirts, and Hair.
Congrats for watching "12 Monkeys", Dasha! You're not alone in not fully understanding it, I think that everyone has their own interpretation of what it means and they're all equally valid!
Brad Pitt is a character actor trapped in the body of a leading man. Snatch, Burn After Reading and 12 Monkeys are the holy trinity of Brad Pitt roles.
Kalifornia is another oft-overlooked great performance of his IMO. True Romance was great, and Fight Club really couldn’t have had anyone else in the role in my mind, with the possible exception of Christian Bale (for some reason I feel he could have been a good Tyler Durden). I’ve always wanted to dislike Pitt (purely out of toxic envy), but the dude is just legit. At least he was pretty bad in Interview with the Vampire, which makes me feel better, lol.
this movie was directed by the bridge keeper in Holy Grail "I don't know that, aaaah"
I recommend "Brazil", another sci-fi dystopia by Terry Gilliam.
Good choice! I think you got all the important points. The boy was also Bruce Willis character when he was young.
This Is a GREAT MOVIE on a Cerebral & Emotional LEVEL.... Remember: COLE is Always in the NOW, When Ever He Is, IT Is NOW! He Saw Himself GET Shot, That Was The BOY in the AIRPORT!!
This Movie was So Dramatic, It had My Buddy in TEARS!!
You should consider watching more of Gilliam's films if you like this one. Baron Munchausen, Time Bandits, Brazil, Jabberwocky, Zero Theorem, Fear and Loathing and others, they all rock.
The people in the future can keep trying to go to the past. Ultimately, they will be able to get a sample of the virus, find out how to counteract it, and return to the surface. BUT, everything that happened in the past is fixed, like watching a movie over and over again, the events of the past (in the movie) cannot be changed. But, you the viewer, learn things about the movie when you rewatch it. As you will Dasha, when you rewatch this movie over and over and over again. 😂. You are doomed to a time loop of rewatching Twelve Monkeys until you finally figure it out.
1 of my all time fave movies EVER!
Thanks for another great reaction Dasha!
Gilliam, Kubrick, Richie, man... What is it in the air in Britain that produces insanely visionary directors?
Terry Gilliam's masterpiece. And yes, it is actually as enjoyable on a 2nd watch.
Dasha, I just thought of a great film for you. An American Tail (1986).
It's an animated story about a Russian family of mice. 🙂👍
And it has a great sequel, too.
Another great reaction Dasha. Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis give phenomenal performances! (*In Canada, we pronounce the word "advertisement" like - ad - ver - tyze - ment.) Many words are pronounced different in The US. ( :E
Both pronunciations of "advertisement" are commonly used - it's a regional thing~
This is such a fun movie! Great job with it, Dasha! 🙂
Terry Gilliam has to be on the edge of depression. Between this and Brazil, that's enough misery for a lifetime. Then there's the ending to Time Bandits...
If you really want to understand this film, try to find a copy of the award-winning, much-admired French film "La Jetée" (The Jetty). Director Terry Gilliam noted at the beginning that La J. was the inspiration for 12 Monkeys. Similar plot, different characters, and a bit easier to follow as it's only ½-hour long, and all explained with voiceover narration. (and w/ English dubs or subs.)
A Wonderful Movie Although Brad Pitt Was Nominated For Supporting Actor in This Film. For Me This Is BRUCE WILLIS'S Best Performance as a Leading Actor He Should Have WON an Oscar!!
The thing you thought was a phone book is called a Rolodex. :)
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time
28:19
The movie they are watching is Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
Hope it's on your to-watch list.
Terry Gilliam co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail and was the animator, actual and tge guy who had a heart attack abd died. He was also the main guy with the coconuts.
This is a movie based on a short film, based on a novel. I didn't read the novel, but I did watch the short film. Terry Gilliam took the story and ran with it, fleshed it out, and yeah, you do have to watch it at least 2 times. And, there's a television show called "12 Monkeys" based on this movie, which is like the movie, but also not like the movie, and that show is very good. They took this movie and ran with it, fleshed it out and stretched it into 4 seasons. And it wraps up nicely, no loose ends. Is this my favorite Bruce Willis movie? Yes, it is.
ur great. one thing i didn't until the third watch: the little boy in the air port is james cole. he sees her and sees his adult (time traveler) self short.
16:16 "Rolo-dex" - A rolling index
Cole was in a time loop. The airport was at the beginning and the end of it.. seeing him as a boy and a man at the same time.
Jeffery (Brad Pitt) was pretty crazy wasn’t he? My favorite Brad Pitt performance. 💕😉
Love your videos Dasha!
Those "phone book" gizmos were called Rolodexes
That "phonebook" is called a Rolodex.
The rotating thing with the phone numbers is called a Rolodex.
32:42 I always assumed the intent of that moment was to suggest that all of those so-called scientists in the future are probably fumbling around quite incompetently because they're not really trained scientists, they're just people (like her, in insurance) who were lucky enough to survive and work themselves into a position of greater comfort.
More recently, I've heard people postulate that she's travelled from the future (for various proposed reasons), but I don't think I buy it.. She delivers her lines with such mater-of-fact composure that, to me, she seems perfectly at home in this time (like a "native"). Although she doesn't appear 30 years younger than she does in the future, that could just be a failure of movie makeup and/or a compromise made to ensure that the audience recognizes her.
Moral of the story: “You can’t change the past”.
"The Future is so Creepy!" -- Dasha
This movie is a masterpiece.
You missed the end ... the lady on the plane .... was from the future, she was in insurance
Hi Dasha. Thanks for doing this movie. It was fun to watch with you.
You should watch Gilliam's first three movies... *Time Bandits* , a wonderfully offbeat yet fantastic time-travel adventure, *Brazil* , a dystopian tale that's part George Orwell and part Franz Kafka, and *The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen* , an incredible adventure built around the titular European folk-hero.
You skipped Jabberwocky, and he also co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail, both before any of those.
What sets this movie apart, other than the obvious direction style and overall concept ... is the complete MIND-F**K that takes place. A memory (Bruce as a kid) is thought of as a "simple dream" for (Bruce as an adult), so that when it takes place (during the time travel) it seems to be completely "impossible" while it is happening and yet "completely avoidable" if he had been AWARE of what how the chain of events happened from the start.
Also, Brad Pitt's performance in this movie has to be one of the BEST representations of a rational mind going insane while still, somehow being completely rational and sane.
Great movie, gets better every time you re-watch it. This movie also made me finally realize Brad Pitt could act.
I ❤ Terry Gilliam movies
My fave's is oc:
Brazil
Jabberwocky
Baron Munchausen
Brothers Grim
One of my favorite film and serie
Dasha, in English there are many different accents. Some say advertisement 1 way and others, another. The way the doctor says it is more common in the UK.
Well done, Dasha. Your authenticity is what brings me back to your channel. I haven't forgotten about the Russian rockets, and will send a message from orbit soon.
You are a Romantic of truest vintage: Do you know Sergei Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kijé (Suite), Opus 60"? It is splendid music: One of its movements is based upon an old Russian folksong, "The Little Grey Dove is Cooing." If this music is unfamiliar to you, I hope it will delight you as much as it does me. It is music for winter-time and the samovar. Here's wishing you all success.
Brad Pitt's char is amazing and I love that they made a TV show based on it. But his adaptation was great.
Hair looks crazy cute Dasha.
One of Brad Pitts best performances! He plays crazy like a champ! This is a great time travel movie. Reality was always suspect in Coles head. Blurs the line of what was real and what was not. Liked how the future couldnt be changed in the past but the past was the only place to get the cure for the future! Blows my mind!😮 Great reaction! Luv ya Dasha ❤💛
Brad Pitt bares his ass.
Dasha immediately declares it Brad's greatest acting role.
12:06 No. She used a less common pronunciation that puts the emphasis on the second syllable, but it's really only used in certain regional dialects -- or if you want to sound upper class and snobby.
Love this movie. Advertisement can be pronounced either way, but the way you thought is really the only way I've heard it.
Keep up the great work Dasha!
BEST FILM EVER MADE. *_BEST. EVER. EVER._*
You do understand that Cole see’s himself get killed as he is also the little boy at the airport
This movie is absolutely nuts
The 12 monkeys series is really good. It is only a few seasons and gets to finish it's story. So many shows are canceled before they can.
