I actually laughed in the theater when 0:59 happened. Despite all that work that went into making JGL look like a younger version of Bruce Willis, it just doesn't fly for me. Just like it's hard for me to believe that Hayden Christiansen is supposed to be an older Jake Lloyd. My brain can't connect the two, I have to force myself to believe they're the same person.
Brandon Shaffer I cannot see it at all with Hayden and Jake Lloyd, as a child I consciously forced that transition to work. I'll give it to the director and crew in Looper, there are a few scenes in the movie where they actually make JGL look like Bruce Willis. If my memory serves correctly the café scene is good and there are others scattered throughout the film.
the whole point of this scene was to show how he pissed his whole life away, followed non of his plans, and didn't do anything until the last few years of his life. when he finally gets happiness with a woman he loves.
I agree; when I watched Looper I wanted to see so much more of JGL\Bruce Willis's life after he "closed his loop", the downward spiral, the hard knocks, the pain, and finally love and redemption. An entire movie could have been made about this part alone. Another great idea for a movie: the story of the RainMaker.
But he was never redeemed if he was so willing to MURDER CHILDREN to get what he wanted, rather than just walking away and letting his wife go. After all, if she was so pure, that's what she would've wanted.
Robert Lugo If he really loved her that much, he would have done what his present day self had suggested. Show him the picture so he could avoid meeting her later in life thus preventing her eventual death. But he was just too selfish to let her go.
I read that in the chinese version this scene of old joe's life is actually longer and contains deleted scenes. Would be good if they released an extended edition in the US band EU
barbiquearea It's not "selfish" to put the life of your wife or loved ones before that of a future murderer. He was trying to prevent an evil force in the future from rising to power, which to me is a good act that would save a lot of lives. I'd travel back in time to kill Hitler as a child, knowing what he'd become. Would you not say it's "selfish" to protect the kid? Part of the mystery at the end of Looper is that we don't know the kid's future, we're just supposed to assume his mother raises him to control his powers and not kill more people. But from what we know, he's already accidentally killed 2 and it's possible he could kill more.
perfect title for a movie about Ageing Joe: "In the Loop". (cause it's inside a closed loop, &c.) also that sequel (prequel? lol) could be even more dramatic if it intercuts between ageing Joe & growing Rainmaker, kinda like "The Godfather Part II" intercutting between Al Pacino & Robert de Niro on their parallel criminal careers.
Saw this in theaters in 2012 and now it's been over 10 years and just like the scene showing the years fly by, I feel like the next 10 years going to go by even faster.
I've wanted to watch it since it released but never had the time and blanked on it for like 6 years, just recently (2 years ago) saw it on netflix and thought it was great.
This is a cool scene. I'd like to live this life abroad except for the killing. The main message I pickd up on this is - Never ever let someone control your life or goals. His boss told him to go to china, when he really had his mind set on France. A whole series of events unfolded which ironically lead him back to killing his boss. We'll never know what future Joe could have had if he just followed his own path.
Hmm very interesting, adds a dire twist to everything. Well depending on what school of thought you have regarding time travel (I never scrutinize too much) Your fate is decided, time is constant and what happens will happen and is inescapable. Abe does say something like "Trust me go to China, I'm from the future, go to China". So the stone has been cast into the pond and the ripples create the events that unfold right there. And to be honest if someone from the future gave me some advice (like a lottery ticket, or a big boxing match, or any other windfall) I would listen, it's hard not to. As for us - fame or fail follow your own heart.
Right...I guess you didn't see how this movie ended, or Casino,Scarface,Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street, Blow, Requiem for a Deam, The Godfather, or any other movie where they fly incredibly high, but come crashing down losing everything important to them, which ironically was never money. Next
This sequence in the film was great. It definitely shows how bad of a path Joe went on after he "closed his loop." But he eventually found someone which set himself straight. Bruce Willis did a good job in this sequence and the rest of the film, Qing Xu (the woman) is beautiful and also did a good job despite her role being very short in this film. She and Willis apparently got along well during the production. Would definitely like to see a short film or a dedicated film to this point in Joe's life. Make it happen Hollywood.
A small studio read your comment three years ago and it's been in pre production hell since, but has now been greenlit, they're not sure if Joseph Gordon Levitt will return as he's grown older since, so his role will possibly be recast.
He killed tons of people including himself and lived through a lot of shit just so he could enjoy himself for about 6 years living in a empty apartment in a skyscraper in China and taking drugs? It kinda shows how short and boring a life really is. A life that is considered to be really intense. Imagine your own life in this scene, isn't it sad how we waste our time because there is nothing to do?
@@har8397 and that's why this job is so unforgiving at the end when it's time for your own loop to be closed Because think about it Once your loop is closed All you have is 30 years left to live
@@thedragonofechigo7878 Answer this, is the loop officially over after it closes? Isn't the looper going to die the same way at the end of the thirty years? Isn't it just an endless cycle?
What about the scene where he kills everyone in the organisation by letting himself be captured or when you first see the extent of the kids ESP (killing Jessie and levetating the contents of the house)
This is one of my favorite segments in a movie. I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking the transition from young Joe to old Joe was corny and Bruce willis looked nothing like JGL. But something about how the whole thing plays out has be coming back and rewatching it every so often.
the whole movie is symbolic about boys being lost in life and growing up lost til they find father figures or mother figures or love ones. Abe was a father figure to all the loopers including kid blu who is a fuck up, and how he gave young joe advice thus changing his dreams from france to china, making him probably go down a darker path, the bar scene shows how disorderly his life is til he meets the love of his life then she changes things. great movie. hidden messages.
This was my favorite scene in the film!!! I thought it was very clever the way the writers decided to add this scene in without it seeming to be unnecessary. Bruce Willis was surprisingly good in this lol It was one of the few roles I haven't seen him shooting someone every 5 seconds
I lived a large part of this life only to have it end the same minus the woman dying I can assure you this life you live every moment is precious don't let a constant steal your variable. The time is all that matters.
At, 1:17, everyone is fighting and there is a guy with a mask standing still and staring at Bruce. I also wondered if that guy was the Rainmaker closing in on Bruce to get revenge and the mask was to cover up the fact that he lost his jaw possibly due to an infection.
I dunno about anyone else but I can’t help but laugh sometimes when I see JGL doing a Bruce Willis face like at 0:05 because I know he doesn’t look like that even with the make up and he’s forcing the face and then I’m just thinking about how ridiculous it must look seeing some guy make a Bruce Willis impression when jumping on a boat hahahah
I just keep thinking how regretful it must have been blowing a fortune like that. Didn't he say he had around 900 bars? Let's assume silver $50 and ounce by then, 32.1 ounce in a 1kg bar. 900 bars = Nearly $1.5 million! Damn, if he kept working and not do drugs he could've had such a comfortable life! I should be Joe's financial planner :)
I don’t think $1.5M is much in terms of living the life Joe was. And considering this is in the future, and due to inflation, $1.5M probably wouldn’t have equaled out to as much as it is to us.
@@Chawachee Yeah it lasted him over 6 years just partying and living what looks like a pretty comfortable lifestyle, on top of being a full-blown drug addict, so I think it's at least 1.5 mil but probably waaay more
thats a good way to shove 23 years into a 2 minute scene. i do admit i wish they rounded it out more and had more day to day than yr to yr or even month to month. a little fast but the theme was consistent and the intervals worked with each other. all im saying is there shouldve been more of them. somebody has already made some comment like this havent they?
This movie should have been a two parter. The first movie revolved around this exact scene, we get introduced to Bruce Willis playing the older Joe towards the end, the film ends with him getting kidnapped and zapped back into the past, then you see young Joe and old Joe lock eyes, roll credits. Then the second movie would be this without all the flashbacks and a little more fleshed out.
Don't do drugs kids! You'll start looking like Bruce Willis once you age. Drugs are expensive. If he was clean, he could have had a much better life. I always wondered what's to prevent a smart looper make enough money to have his own army to prevent their own death. You can't send someone back in time to die if he is more powerful than you.
Time works in mysterious ways my dude it could be your own son,a kid you knew who lived close by your house a nephew or an s.a.v all leading to ones demise
First time Old Joe appears, he knocks out Young Joe. Young Joe is forced to try to find him, he slips and falls off the ladder; black out. Back in the fields, Young Joe kills Old Joe (first time around), Young Joe lives his thirty years and becomes Old Joe. Old Joe gets sent back to the past, which is now paralleling the first time we saw Young and Old Joe in the field. Old Joe knocks out Young Joe, and the story of Young Joe finding Old Joe begins.
He did something similar in The Last Jedi with Luke's three lessons taking place during the day, sunset, and the last supposed to happen at night but Yoda turned the tables and taught Luke a lesson instead.
You can't expect a time travel film to NOT have worm holes, it's practically impossible... But I agree, confusing nonetheless. More the reason why we're told not to stress over it by two different characters in the film.
but isn't the point of the loopers that people can't get away with killing people so they send them back in time? he killed tons of people, and they killed his wife idk it just makes it difficult to get invested
I think it would have been more believable if they showed JGL losing his hair or completely bald while simultaneously putting aging makeup or CGI to get to an age between JGL and Bruce Willis. For me, showing that last shot of JGL with long hair and then just having Bruce Willis with the same hair but half of it gone didnt make me believe it was Joe, it just made me think there Bruce Willis trying to look like JGL lol
Movie about assassins that close time loops, has time travel in it and people who can develop telekinetic abilities. Most unrealistic part about it? Accepting that Joseph Gordon Levitt turns into Bruce Willis in his old age.
and then one day you just wake up Bruce Willis.

Yea that transition was rough....
Lol that scene where bruce willis has the black hair (I thought the same thing)
Best anti drug ad ever.
the whole point of this scene was to show how he pissed his whole life away, followed non of his plans, and didn't do anything until the last few years of his life. when he finally gets happiness with a woman he loves.
And he called his younger self a killer, a junkie when they were in the diner together. Hypocrite
Elijah Vigil if anything, he’d done much more of the very things he’s disgusted by in the first place
OH okay i see..... That his life and point.
I guess old joe change young joe to be a better man then he was before.
Mai Nezuko Her Vang wouldn’t you change your younger self to be a better person based on your failures

Me too
@@diekomet6950 You also turned into Gollum?
I really think Joseph Gordon Levitt looks badass with long hair

For me, showing that last shot of JGL with long hair and then just having Bruce Willis with the same hair but half of it gone didnt make me believe it was Joe, it just made me think there Bruce Willis trying to look like JGL lol
I'm really glad this movie ended on such a high note for the main character after a life of bad decisions. Really made us feel happy for him
/sarcasm.
Lol
This scene sends CHILLS down my spine! this scene alone should get this movie nominated for best cinematography
Such a cool movie
You know I still wonder if Abe told John to go to China because something happened to France or because he needed to keep the loop?
This scene inspired me to go visit Shanghai. Great city. I don't know if that town at 1:48 actually exists though.
1:36 Max Payne smirk
Movie about assassins that close time loops, has time travel in it and people who can develop telekinetic abilities.
Most unrealistic part about it? Accepting that Joseph Gordon Levitt turns into Bruce Willis in his old age.
?
Clearly he has some plastic surgery between year 10 and year 23. I wonder why they left that out.
That apartment he has in Shanghai is awesome
Have yall scene the alternate version of this scene, its cool. It kind of goes more into depth, some pretty awesome editing
