Science fiction movies have a special character in terms of story, graphics, and many other things, but the most important thing is that they make you believe that you are living in a fantasy world that makes your mind spin very quickly and you cannot keep up with the events.
From the first scene in 12 Monkeys I felt like I was in a time maze that I did not know how to get out of The movie is the kind of movie that plays with your mind making you wonder all the time Is what is happening real or just an illusion Honestly this is what attracted me the most about it.
The hero Bruce Willis plays a really cool role as a man named James Cole one of the prisoners in the future who was sent to the past to prevent the spread of a virus that destroyed humanity But the problem is that when he returns no one believes him and he is placed in a mental hospital Here comes Brad Pitts character who by the way gave a brilliant role of a crazy person to the point that he received an Oscar nomination for it.
The thing I liked most about the movie is the narration method that makes you unsure of anything Is Cole really a time traveler or is he just a mentally ill person imagining all this The movie was also ahead of its time in the way it depicted the future as gloomy and dark unlike the movies that show you the future full of advanced technology and shining towers No here the world is rotten and everything is lost.
The ending is a story on its own The kind that makes you sit still after the movie thinking about everything from the beginning and trying to connect the threads together Honestly this is the kind of movie I love the ones that stay in your mind even after you finish it.
If you have not seen it yet I advise you to watch it But be careful your mind might spin a bit after watching it and you will make the reaction that are in the image below.
