the nonsensicle and poorly thought out use of timetravel was pretty tough to swallow ... I would say thats a pretty massive downside The directors saying "lol its not about the timetravel" seems to fundamentally misunderstand the premise of his ow film

@@DuckSmokezQuack How was it poorly thought out? They sent people back. That's it. Are you critical of the execution? Meaning, were you displeased with the appearance of the time-machines, or the special-effects surrounding their use? Or the lack of an explanation? The story wasn't about time-travel, though that's obviously a component of the story. Much like how Benjamin Button never explains _WHY_ it's happening, that's not the point -- in Looper, time-travel provided a context, but the protagonist didn't have access to use it, and therefore it was merely a framework in the story, and not an interactable object. What would you have done differently if you were in charge of the film?

You can't blame Joe too much for having to give up Seth. Remember, he hid Seth inside the floor safe, which is where Joe was keeping his stash of silver. Even if he chose to protect Seth, they'd almost certainly find him when they went to take half his silver away. So Joe wouldn't just lose his silver, but Seth would've been caught anyway.

@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 2 ай бұрын

And Abe almost certainly had a general idea of where Joe has hidden Seth. When he's telling Joe that he can either give up Seth or half his silver, he's actually not giving Joe _any_ choice at all. Joe can't give up his silver and simultaneously protect Seth because Seth is hiding in the floor safe. If he tries that option, the Gat Men will either go with him to retrieve it or go by themselves, find Seth anyways, and Joe will get punished as well.

@Arbron Жыл бұрын

@quadog9019 Жыл бұрын

Even if he agreed to be taxed and have half of his stashed bars taken, they would have found Seth anyway because he was locked in the safe hiding. The Gat Men would've opened it regardless, so Joe could either keep the money or lose it - Seth was a dead man either way.

I love that you can see Jeff Daniels look completely flummoxed by the correction of him learning French instead of Mandarin, for just a split second, but he rolls with it for the sake of his pre-written monologue that he assumes/knows Joe will falter to. And also the minute Abe knows he's thrown Joe he throws in a haymaker about "Why French?" because it's not what he knows, it's about what he didn't anticipate. Which as someone from the future who has had the luxury of using that knowledge for his benefit, is probably a bit of a wild card a la "Is this going to lead to something I can't anticipate?" Which ironically it does, just not from that particular point in time. Like he said, it fries your brain like an egg
