I Could 'LEARN' YA Quantum Mechanics, But ........
« on: October 03, 2012, 10:08:32 PM »
I have no idea what LOOPERS was all about and that screaming kid in particular.

And why was everyone homeless?

Can some of you getbig movie fans explain the details?

And while you're  at it, how about a simple explanation of CLOUD ATLAS.

Hell!! I'm still trying to figure out that 1939 OZ movie!

The trailers of Cloud Atlas intrigue me.

It looks like its about 2 people who are constantly being reincarnated and their destiny always leads them back to each other. (If that makes sens)

Read the Cloud Atlas book, it's really good actually.  The movie is going to be watered down,  but might be interesting.  I'm not working on it but have a few friends that say it should be cool, but as you know, books>movies.  Not sure if the Wachowski brothers can pull it off though.

EMMORTAL, You said that you're "not working on it" referring to Cloud Atlas. Does that mean that you are presently working in the movie industry?

  Just saw Looper. Creepy how they made the kid look like Bruce.


  As for Time Travel... that crap has always left me befuddled

The kid was gonna grow up to be "the rainmaker," a guy who would attempt to assassinate all loopers, which is why Willis was trying to kill him. At the end, we see the kid's mom accidentally killed by Willis instead, which is why the kid would eventually target loopers in the first place ("first place" is sorta where the time travel thing gets tricky). Anyway, Levitt prevents this future by killing himself so that Willis couldn't grow old and pull it off.

The kid made such a fuss when he got upset because he had telekinesis. Also, his first "mom" was murdered too, which made him prone to emotional outbursts.

The homelessness was just the screenwriter's take on a rather depressing future.

The preview for the Atlas Cloud movie made me think of a hybrid Matrix/Inception type movie. Both of which were the most original movies of their respective times, and both blew me away the first time seeing them.

Didn't one of the Wachowski brothers have a sex change or some shit? Pretty wild.

UGLY, Thanks for the explanation. The kid part completely flew over my head.

I gotta say that the younger actor who I think is phenominal but whose name I always forget did a great job doing his 'Bruce Willis' mannerisms but I didn't see the ressmblance if and when he was made up to look like  Willis.

To much eye-shadow I think.

I'm gonna have to read CLOUD ATLAS before I see it   because I think I'll fail to understand what it's all about without doing so. ANd its also interesting to see how they transfer a great book into a great movie.

Immortal ... My family members do a lot fo the motion-capture work you may have seen in the major Hollywood motion pictures. You could possibly know some of them

Possibly Stunt, but I don't deal with mocap performers, although my animation guys may have dealt with them.  I know some of the guys over at Giant studios that deal with a lot of Mocap.
