We will be discussing the plot of the movie and the ending. If you do not want to know that the main character killed himself at the end then you should have not read this far, we did give you fair warning that the little boy has super powers and grows up to be a super criminal.
Looper, starring Bruce Willis And that guy from 3rd Rock from the Sun with the long hair:
Um, no this guy:
So he plays a hit man who kills people sent from the future. The gangsters of the future send people back to be killed. You see time travel is so illegal in the future they us it constantly to cover up murder. The hit-man kill people who are sent back and then dispose of the bodies in the past. At some point their “loop gets closed where their future self is sent back to be killed by themselves. I see what you are thinking, why not send them back to be killed by a different hit-man as during the movie it is shown that when it comes time to kill themselves mishaps happen and trouble often follows suit? Well…there wouldn’t be a movie if there wasn’t any screw ups now would there? Wait…would there?
Back to that in a minute. So long hair has to kill his future self (Bruce Willis) who is hell bent on killing the future crime boss who sent him back to be executed while he is still a child. It turns out that his attempt to kill the child would result in the kid becoming the crime boss which would lead to him sending Bruce Willis back in time to die which would lead Bruce Willis to want to kill the kid which would lead to the kid becoming the crime boss…you get the point.
Long haired guy sees this loop as well and decides to stop his future self by killing his present self. He shoots himself and Bruce Willis disappears. The end, right?
Well, let us ask you this. If the kid never turned into a crime boss then Bruce Willis was never sent back necessitating that the long haired guy kill himself to stop him, so none of the things we just watched would happen…so we didn’t really just watch a movie?
Couldn’t the long haired guy just say to himself “Don’t kill the kid in the future” and achieve the same thing? Anyone who watched Bill & Ted knows this can be done.
We would say watch the movie but we are not sure there is a movie to watch…
