Addicted To Benzocane

Twelve Monkeys


Twelve Monkeys is rightly considered one of the best films end, combining a dark, cold future version with a time travel theme. In 2035 almost all of humanity was wiped out by a pandemic virus and the survival rate is 1%. During the few survivors eke out an existence in the underground, the animals rule the surface again, which are not affected by the virus. James Cole is regarded as criminals and of scientists faced with the option to refer to volunteer a sample of the virus and to identify the developer. Should he succeed, he will adopt his sentence and he regains his freedom. Thus, by Cole in a time machine the year teleports 1990, however, commits the fatal mistake of speaking openly about the virus and the destruction of humanity, to which it is integrated in a psychiatric institution. There he meets the patient Jeffrey Goines, who is thinking increasingly about viruses and Cole Bakti. Due to the sedative and the entire situation propagate upon to Coles and flashbacks, which are present since his childhood. He sees a man who is killed before his eyes, and a woman who looks at it in an unconventional way. However, he can not interpret it. After the failure of the mission, Cole will again have the opportunity to discover the source of the virus. After a further error of Wissensschaftler, Cole finally reaches the year 1996. There he discovered that apparently the Army of 12 Monkeys and the son of a virologist responsible for the outbreak and stole the samples from the father. But the truth is changing constantly. Because no one gives him faith that the kidnapped tourists alike a former psychiatrist who tries them from the time travel and the 12 Monkeys to convince. After initial skepticism, the confused talk of the man seem increasingly credible and a ball from the first world war, the sudden disappearance, and other information that can appear increasingly bleak future version of real. As the virus but was actually developed and who the army of the is 12 Monkeys, remains to the end and numerous expressions of interest.



12 Monkeys is because of the dark matter and the surreal scenes of a very unconventional film is, which is not all viewers will like. However, the interest aroused, a downright hypnotic effect is produced. In addition to Bruce Willis Brad Pitt is especially convincing in the depiction of the mentally impaired who received an award for this role. While the future very bleak, in an endless sea of gray and winter will be shown, has the presence of a Cassandra-topic. Cole is condemned to the future to know, but he can not convince his environment like this, which he doubts himself at some point because he is not sick and actually belongs to a psychiatric facility. The background music is also very well done and often used in addition to the main theme, are sometimes songs like "It'sa Wonderful World" performed. Who likes the unconventional staging of Terry Gilliam, Twelve Monkeys had with a very intense film, which binds to a successful end.
