THE FILM
“THE AGONY OF FOREKNOWLEDGE COMBINED WITH THE IMPOTENCE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT...” That’s the “Cassandra Complex,” a story from Greek myth… And it’s what Bruce Willis’ character James Cole has in “Twelve Monkeys”--IN SPADES. He knows that in the year 1997 a virus is going to be purposely unleashed on the Earth--a virus that will kill 5 billion people and send Mankind literally underground. By 2035 the animals will live on the surface, while Cole and people like him endure a dark, nightmarish existence below. Cole’s life is particularly unpleasant, as he’s chosen to “volunteer” for a trip backward through time. His mission is to find the source of the virus so scientists in the future can find a cure and prevent the disaster from happening in the first place.

Cole is, basically, the flipside of Willis’ character in “The Fifth Element.” In that film a down-and-out cabbie looking for love finds it, and Saves The World. In this film, a man who just wants to “see the sky and the ocean, and breathe the air” is also given the chance to find love and to Save The World. But he’s not getting much help from his superiors, who prove that time travel is definitely an inexact science. For instance, (in scenes highly reminiscent of similar moments in the movie “Trancers,”) they dispatch Cole to 1996. Instead, he ends up right in the middle of World War One, and naked, no less. That nakedness is a metaphor, a literal illustration that he has nothing to help him but his own intelligence, ingenuity and perseverance.

The makers of “Twelve Monkeys” put a lot of effort into the visual and emotional design of the world Cole inhabits, using anything they could find to reinforce director Terry Gilliam’s vision. (The accompanying documentary covers at length how the “look” was produced and why an abandoned power plant came to represent a lot of this world of the near-future) Anyone who’s seen “Brazil” will immediately recognize Gilliam’s touch from the look of the set alone.

At one point Cole, addressing his superiors says, “I don’t think the human mind is meant to exist in two different...dimensions. It’s very confusing; you don’t know what’s real and what’s not.” After watching “Twelve Monkeys” you’ll probably agree. But it’s a mystery worth unraveling...even if you have to watch it twice to understand it all.

HIGHLIGHTS

Cole is, basically, the flipside of Willis character in “The Fifth Element.” In that film a down-and-out cabbie looking for love finds it, and Saves The World. In this film, a man who just wants to see the sky and the ocean, and breathe the air is also given the chance to find love and to Save the World.

Terry Gilliam’s most mature film to date demands rigorous analysis from the viewer. Add to this the director’s grotesquely comic hallmarks, and the resulting film is a complex and rewarding fantasy.

Do you recognize that it is high time to receive the business loans, which would realize your dreams.

The year is 2035 and humankind subsists in a desolate netherworld following the eradication of 99% of the Earth’s population, a holocaust that makes the planet’s surface uninhabitable, and mankind’s destiny uncertain. A desperate group of scientists secure a reluctant volunteer, Cole, to embark on a dangerous mission back to the year 1996, where they hope he can help unravel this apocalyptic nightmare before it completely erases humanity from the planet. When Cole arrives in 1996, he meets Jeffrey Goines, the unstable son of a renowned scientist, and Dr. Kathryn Railly, a psychiatrist and author whose initial alarm over his prophetic warnings of the world’s fate soon turns to conviction, and she comes to believe that mankind may indeed be doomed. While also questioning his own sanity, Cole struggles with Railly to unravel the mystery with his only two clues: a haunting childhood memory and a series of puzzling symbols from a group known only as The Army of the Twelve Monkeys.

I guess that to get the mortgage loans from creditors you should present a firm reason. However, one time I’ve received a small business loan, because I wanted to buy a car.

12 Monkeys is based on and expands upon the short film La Jette, and director Terry Gilliam does bang-up job in keeping the visual style intact. The way he portrays the future, with weird pipes and tubes in almost everything, and everyone wearing plastic clothing, is just dead on with the way it looked in La Jette.
