{5\/5} “‘I’m not crazy.’ ‘Of course not, of course not. You want to escape, right? That’s very sane, that’s very sane.'”<\/p>\n

Twelve Monkeys<\/strong>, released in 1995<\/p>\n

Cole is a prisoner underground. He does a good job collecting samples from the surface when he is volunteered. The people in charge then trust him with a more complex task — go back in time to gather more information about the virus that killed millions. In 1990 Kathryn is a psychiatrist who comes across Cole in jail and tries to help him.<\/p>\n

As a fan of time travel and a fan of Terry Gilliam, this movie is right up my alley.<\/p>\n

The future has a terrific look to it — very mechanical, with lots of wires.<\/p>\n

The parts with Jeffrey in the mental institution are very funny. The part where James believes he’s mentally ill and Kathryn believes he’s from the future is brilliant.<\/p>\n

It’s a masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Christopher Plummer, Frank Gorshin, and David Morse have small parts.<\/p>\n

Stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and Brad Pitt. Directed by Terry Gilliam (The Man Who Killed Don Quixote<\/strong><\/a>). The mysterious music is by Paul Buckmaster.<\/p>\n

This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
