In the year 2035, convict James Cole reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to discover the origin of a deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth's population and forced the survivors into underground communities. But when Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990 instead of 1996, he's arrested and locked up in a mental hospital. There he meets psychiatrist Dr. Kathryn Railly and the son of a famous virus expert who may hold the key to the Army of the 12 Monkeys; thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

The most mainstream film Gilliam has probably made, but also one of his best. Whilst the central mystery of how a deadly virus is unleashed on the world is compelling, it's Bruce Willis that holds the most attention, and whilst the ending is telegraphed well before, it's the journey to that end that becomes the most important part of the film and Willis makes the audience care about his character's fate. One of the best time travel stories ever made!

I know no one wants to read my thoughts on a 25-year-old film, but what a film to watch with all this C-19 around. The film perfectly depicts time travel as well as cause and effect. I like how the film leads you to believe Bruce Willis' character is insane. Also, Mr. Willis' work in this film demonstrates that he is more than just an action hero. And what a fantastic performance by Brad Pitt, who won his first Academy Award as a result of this film.

Germs? Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway...Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh..Semmelweis..Semmelweis.. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See? Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion. You... you... you believe in germs, right?
