What Happened to Looper?

  • Time travel movies are tricky things to pull off. You want the science in your story to make a certain amount of sense, but you don’t want to put so much effort into your timelines that you start to confound the audience. If the tale being told is compelling enough, the viewer won’t feel the need to pick apart every single detail. When it comes to “Looper,” a terrific example of the time travel genre, director Rian Johnson said he didn’t want the audience to feel like they were doing homework. Johnson got it just right, since “Looper” works on its own terms, doesn’t condescend to the viewer, and uses the time travel conceit as a clothesline upon which it hangs the really important things, like its characters and the drama they’re tangled up in.
    The clock is ticking and we’re going to try to get through this before someone closes all of our loops, so join us as we find out WTF Happened to “Looper”.

    This is Bruce Willis's last best film and he gave a underrated performance

    I've always liked Looper.
    It's kept some of the same issues we have today (drugs, gun violence, organized crime, etc) and added just enough sci-fi for the future to seem not entirely implausible.
    The storyline/plot is interesting and the actors played their roles so very well. Pretty damn good movie imo.

    When I saw Looper for the first time, I walked out of the theater, looked at the clear sky and the full moon and decided then and there, that I'm gonna be a filmmaker. I produced shorts ever since and am working on a pilot right now. That film was awesome.

      It's sad that we more than likely won't get Bruce Willis movies anymore due to his illness. 2 years ago.he was diagnosed with aphasia. His family just announced it's progressed to a more serious condition, frontotemporal dementia. I'm really tired of the worst $hit happening to the nicest, unselfish, humblest people. And grimey, low-down dirty $hitbags get away with everything.

    Actors complaining about having to sit quietly in a dentist's chair for a few hours, while makeup is applied and they are getting paid millions is the height of entitlement.

      I know you’re eager to virtue signal anything but that’s not the complaint. If the call sheet as you ready to shoot at 9 am for example, that means that you have to be there at least at 6 am. And after that you still have a 12/14 hour day ahead. It’s part of the job but when you’re the only one that as to do it of the all cast it gets old pretty fast.

    Rian Johnson should give up the idea of making more Star Wars movies and focus on original content instead

    • @Axolotl_Mischief
      @Axolotl_Mischief 21 день тому +5

      He should stick to neo-noir - which he is great at - and avoid anything remotely sci-fi because it's clearly not his forte. He has a serious lack of imagination in the SF realm and should stay far away from it.

    Looper was Gemini man before Gemini man was a shitty film with bad casting of will smith in the part of both the old and young hitman character. Looper was a masterpiece from Rian Johnson, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon levitt, and Emily blunt. It was the closest we got to a terminator movie and Gemini man.

    The time-travel paradox just doesn't work. The event that created the rain maker only happened because the protagonist came back in time to avert the event that created the rain maker. In the original timeline, there was never a reason to travel back in time, so the rain maker never arose and the events of the movie had no starting point so didn't happen.

    • @williamdixon-gk2sk
      @williamdixon-gk2sk 20 днів тому +1

      I took it as everything that happened was predetermined up until JoGoLev takes himself out of the equation. Prior to this he is selfish, self centered, self absorbed, etc. But he has a change of heart. So his sacrifice is the wildcard allowing for a new timeline. Different from the original timeline, though both are paradoxes affected by time travel.

    One of the dumbest time travel movies I have ever seen. The premise was idiotic and not in a single timeline did the antagonist even exist, making the plot collapse on itself and rather pointless. Johnson said in an interview his approach to writing time travel was a linear approach, which I'm sure competent sci-fi authors would laugh their asses off at.

    Last Jedi is a complete shit show that I don’t even consider canon at this point. Assclown single handedly destroyed the whole franchise with those couple of hours of incomprehensible BS. As far as most fans are concerned, the Solos have three children and Luke’s wife is Mara Jade. That is the only proper canon for the first six films.
