Looper Thread (Spoilers)

Thought that the movie deserved a thread. All I have to say is badass, BADASS movie. It was deep, it was intelligent, and it asked question. What I got out of it was 'If you could kill Hitler as a child, would you? Or would you save him?' Anyone else get as similar message, or do you think my interpretation is completely off? Also, really well handled though. It proves that Levitt can be a fantastic actor, and that Bruce Willis can have a darker, more villainy role. Although I think the best thing about the movie is that it didn't have a villain, well, possibly Abe. But not really. It was all grey, there was no black and white characters. Old Joe wasn't truly bad because three lives of attempting to kill the Rainmaker, but the Rainmaker would kill numerous people in the future, so it was justified. Murky, but justified. Young Joe kills for a living, but it's mostly criminals so it isn't exactly evil either. Future Rainmaker is an emotionally scarred man forced to live in the gutter, and while kinda evil, he's as evil as Hitler, in that he could have been easily diverted had he been helped by somebody. So in the end, the only true way to fix it was for Joe to kill himself. He was out of the range of Old Joe, and if he didn't kill him the mother would have been killed and the whole damn circle would have started again. Can't wait till it comes out on DVD. Will be one of those movies I re-watch once a month to analyze more.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MasterSin I would go to Best movie of the Year.[/quote] Probably, the competition this year has been pathetic. At best, Prometheus, but while it was good, for me Looper is up there with Bladerunner. So nope, sorry Scott, good movie, but Looper went deeper.

  • Pff, we all know The Hobbit will be the best movie of 2012. But this Looper movie looks pretty good.

But this Looper movie looks pretty good.[/quote] I really kinda consider it unfair by the Hobbit's account,so I view it as coming out in 2014, when the movie series is done. Because Peter Jackson, it's just -blam!- unfair to everyone :/ But yeah, Looper is awesome. I hold it up to Bladerunner, not 2001. It's not that level, but it's damned close. Beats the Dark Knight Rises by a mile.
