"We seem to be inundated with information and it's hard to know what the real stuff is which is the stuff that counts. And I think it's the hardest thing in modern society- is to know what to listen to and what not to." -Terry Gilliam
"Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind. Yes! Using that model they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next, say, 10 years. Which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind to - to determine everything I was gonna do in that period. So you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me. She knows everything I'm ever gonna do before I know it myself. How's that?"🖕
The final shot of 12 Monkeys on a little boy's eyes just before an apocalypse is set in motion, especially thanks to Paul Buckmaster's score, is one of the most timeless SF movie endings. Thank you, Terry, for all your brilliant work.
@@thealexshowable I recognized the woman on the plane. There have been a few interpretations about her as I’ve read. Speaking as someone who never believes that the future is fixed, or even the past to some extent, I can naturally imagine that somehow a valuable difference could have been made.
Watching 12 monkey's probably the 5th time, just looking for explanations 2 the movie. Found this, one hell of a great interview. The only thing missing, good whiskey and cigars. They're having a blast
I just watched this again, and they almost don't make movies like it, anymore. This is not the kind of film you can watch while scrolling through your phone and still expect to appreciate, or even follow, the story it tells.
Genius at work. I have been watching Terry Gilliam since "Do Not Adjust Your Set" when (I think) I was 4 years old maybe 5 it was the only competition Thunderbirds really had. Which is partly how I turned out like this 😜
Thought about working for Weinstein on Midsummer Nights Dream, got home and decided he didn't want to work with Harvey, despite full control and 14 million.
“I don’t want to work with Harvey!” If you respect TG for no other reason, this is before #metoo when everyone (I’m talking to you Streep!!) “found out” about Harvey!!
im sure most people thought that with how technology was evolving at that point, so it's not entirely uncommon for someone to have thought that way, I guess now it just seems so precognative with just how right its become.
Bruce was incredible in 12 Monkeys also. Solid acting in that film, along with Brad Pitt in his scene/s. Bruce wouldn't have been most people's choice as an actor in this kind of film, but he totally carried it off and proved he had the acting ability for the role.
When I first saw 12 Monkeys me, my friends and the people I work with were talking about it for days afterward trying to analyze this and that. To me, THAT is the sign of a great movie. I still have some unanswered questions about the movie,* but that's okay. I still love it to this day. I have not seen the 12 Monkeys TV show from a few years ago. Is it any good? * Such as, how come the voice calls him "Bob" and how come the homeless guy - who sounds exactly like that voice - knows who James is in some timelines but not in others? Was the scientist woman who sits next to the crazy virologist on the airplane at the end of the movie sent to that time to do something or is that her BEFORE she ends up being one of the scientists in the future?
@@TheGeneralDisarrayI like the fact that they steered away from the traditional time travel approach of trying to change the past to change the future. Cole repeatedly says that he cannot change the future, only that he can get the virus in its pure form so that the people in the future can return to the surface. Of course there's also the depressing possibility that Cole really is a mental patient and none of this was real. :(
The scientist woman is the one from 2035, came back to get the original virus source (shaking hand with the mad man). So James did accomplish his mission with the final phone call. I read that Terry wanted to end on the young James shot, but changed it after.
4:08 What possible relevance does Demi Moore's attractiveness have in relation to Bruce Willis' taking more challenging roles is "smaller" movies? Good thing she never worked for Charlie, knowing the only thing he thinks women are good for.
Frankly quite depressing knowing how often we have been warned about how we are destroying our existence. Bertrand Russell warned us, and told us what to avoid. This film , books etc. And yet as I write this we are in a pandemic virus treat and an environment disaster ! Why don’t we listen when genius as Bertrand Russell in 1952 warned us until his death 1970. 98 years old . The Fermi paradox might be answered sooner than we wants
Crazy he says there is ambiguity about whether the main character is actually from the future when it is actually not ambiguous at all. A great movie though. Also, Charlie Rose really was the master of wrecking his own show with his idiotic interruptions
@@BullyMaguire4ever what part is ambiguous? We start the story in the future so are fully aware that Cole is telling the truth later when he is in the mental institution. If the story had started in the mental institution I could see it being an ambiguous story. The way the plot unfolds is all about learning how the future came to be and not at all about questions of whether what we have seen previously is Cole’s imagination - that people don’t believe Cole is essential to the plot but the audience isn’t asked to question him I think “finding the movie in the editing” and “not being able to see the forrest for the trees” were at work here for TG. I think it says something about how a director attempts to put something of themselves into a movie that someone else wrote - TG has the creative visuals but his grasp of narrative is maybe suspect (much like Ridley Scott). TG got away with it on this one.
Jeffery: "I'm a mental patient. I'm supposed to act out......Colonics for EVERYONE!!" In the top three, imo, of Pitt's performances. Gilliam is a pawn in nobody's game. Uncompromisingly original master.
Midway in the film Bruce's character Cole explains that once he had located the virus, they would send one of the scientists back in time to study it. The lady scientist sitting in the seat next to Dr Peters, that's what she was there for. Cole had to get himself killed in the airport, as staying in the past was not permitted. Young Cole witnesses his own death without knowing its his older self.
Not sure exactly why, but he had the dream with Pitt's character right when he returned to the future from 1990, where he had been fully sedated from trying to escape the mental hospital. A possible explanation could be what Kathrin (lady psychiatrist) told Cole at the motel in 1996 when he said she was in his dream just then, and said he never realized it was her. Her response was "It wasn't me before, its *become* me because of what is happening." While this wasn't the case with Kathrin, it might be the case with Pitt's character. Young Cole barely caught a glimpse of Peter's face when he said 'watch it' and mostly just remembers his yellow clothes and red ponytail. -- I might be wrong, this is just speculation which the movie leaves a lot of room for.
What I got was. ...Stowe.. Saw Bruce killed and their story would end there... But she also saw little Bruce with his parents...and KNEW he would grow in another timeline but never knowing her... But he would not die that way at the airport... because one of the scientists ladies from the future was later in the plane scene and would take care of David Morse... Hence...Bruce had done his job by warning them about Jeffrey Goines only focusing on animal freedom..NOT world extermination...so the future scientist knew who to stop...even if it meant they...the scientists would never be born into this paradox...which is what it really was... Anyway dude...thats my take and I like it.... Hope that gives you some idea... Iron Maiden rules !!!
There are only two actors who may be better than Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis 16) Red (2010) 58) 12 Monkeys (1995) 77) The Sixth Sense (1999) 102) Pulp Fiction (1994) 146) Red 2 (2013) 310) Die Hard (1988) Yet by evaluation my other two favorites might have just been lucky to gain good movies. Bruce's great ability to be Stan Laurel without needing a Oliver Hardy and be the strong man or the everyman also.
I wonder why Gilliam didn't want to work with Weinstein. A great decision in retrospect, but I have to wonder if he'd been hearing things he didn't like...
That was an interesting comment about Harvey Weinstein. What was that all about? Did they know even back then? That was twenty years before it all came out.
Clearly lying here.. The movie literally starts in the future and Bruce's character being picked to travel back in time.. There is no question to the audience..
I am literally recovering from Covid right now as I type this you ignorant ass. It sucks how easy it is for fools to spread misinformation and for idiots such as yourself to eat it all up.
Bruce is a psycho with memories maybe of his father/grandfather being killed in the 1918-1920 pandemic of H1N1 .... the boy that fell in the well is him (and maybe from the hit lost his mind) and from that moment his mind is constantly imprisoned in the endless time loop that he invented to avoid a traumatic experience maybe regarding the Spanish flu that happened in the past that's why it cannot be altered since it already happened, Riley/Jones are the same person in which Riley/Jones has to sacrifice humanity in order for his fictional character (Jones/Riley) to exist in predestination paradox! Jose is the voice inside his head or a man from his past who also died or contracted the 1918 flu H1N1 (reference to WW1/flu same era) since they were supposed to be childhood friends, remember that he was coughing in the airport scene as he did after returning from WW1 where he saw Jose, he actually doesn't exist Cole is speaking with himself! Riley in his present is the good doctor a fictional character that might free him from the endless time loop of his mind and Jones the bad doctor a depiction of the future Riley which doesn't let him live in the present ... that's all folks time travel does not exist, it exists only in our minds which can create fictional new worlds to avoid trauma! Also the 12 monkeys stuff is an input he got from the other psycho which is played by Brad Pitt, it fit well in his fantasies since that guy had to do with virology, a son of a very famous scientist ... what an input in his troubled mind which was stuck in the 1918-1920 flu pandemic (2nd wave the deadliest of all times) that almost killed 150 million people and contaminated the 1/3 of the world's population of that time! Adios! In the ending scene his subconscious warns him to kill the reason of his loop RileY!
can someone tell me what the hell terry gilliam is talking about? The movie clearly shows that the protagonist is from the future and that the story is real. WTF??? How can you say you can't know if the protagonist is just making it up???
Hmmmm. I remember feeling it wasn’t crystal clear, the jumping around in time. In other words, the ambiguity Gilliam says he intended seemed to come through to me. But … I haven’t seen the film in years and maybe I’d view it differently now. The steam punk-ish sensibility of those scenes where the (perhaps) futuristic scientists are putting Willis through his paces is vintage Gilliam, and I think it’s intended to message that what you’re seeing might not be quite what’s actually happening. Anyway, it’s late and I’m tired and I’m probably not making a whole lotta sense. Toodles, this has been fun.
His Quixote film was such a piece of shit. I think his film choices have declined as his politics shot to the far left. He'll never make another decent film.
Quioxte was unfocused, tedious and riddled with clichés. I kept thinking it will converge and start happening but never did. With The Zero Theorem I gave up after 10 min. It was soaked in doom.

"We seem to be inundated with information and it's hard to know what the real stuff is which is the stuff that counts. And I think it's the hardest thing in modern society- is to know what to listen to and what not to." -Terry Gilliam
he had no idea what was coming. Good lord
Brad Pitt gave one of his best performance in 12 Monkeys
"Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind. Yes!

You know. I think you’re the first and only person to ever say or think that. You’re so original. Just like your yt name
@@Hugo_Tate That's harsh criticism coming from the first and only sarky bastard on the internet.
I think he got a golden globe for it.
Yup I agree after watching it last night. Did he take note's from Hoffmans performance in Rain Man?
Love Terry Gilliam. One of the best directors of all time in my personal opinion.
Brazil, Time Bandits, The fisher king, Fear and loathing in las vegas 😎
13:45 That aged amazingly well.
For sure, you can really see that in the industry everyone knew what we know now.
I came to the comments to say exactly the same thing!
Harvey’s downfall paved the road for Charlie Rose’s too
Yeah, even back in the 90's Terry was like...this Weinstein guy is a creep. Don't wanna work with him.
Terry Gilliam is one of my favorite directors and personalities in general. He makes interesting movies that don’t insult your intelligence.
JUST WATCHED IT! :D Thankyou Terry Gilliam for one of the best psychological action movies EVER MADE!!! SPOT ON!
best time travel film ever made
Doc and Marty are gonna be mad.
Agree.
La Jette.
@@Mel_ilm - What is "La Jette?"
@@HoldenNY22 Look it up. 12 M is a remake.
I think 12 Monkeys is a better time travel movie than Back to the Future. There, I said it.

Dude. So you didn’t get the final twist. The woman on the plane at the end. Seriously? Clearly the movie wasn’t made for you 😂

Dashed out to see this interview after watching a movie
Incredible director
terry gil talking about kubrick !!
It was okay. Could have used more monkeys.
Terry Gilliam looks a great deal like the actor Ralph Meeker. That said, Brazil is on my list of the ten greatest motion pictures ever made.
Strange to think Terry G thought the world was 'inundated with information' back in 1996... I wonder what he makes of the web and social media?
im sure most people thought that with how technology was evolving at that point, so it's not entirely uncommon for someone to have thought that way, I guess now it just seems so precognative with just how right its become.
We had the web in 1996, although primitive compared to now.
