Overview

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 patient Jeffrey Goines, the son of a famous virus expert, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

Viewing Notes

Damn. Why have I waited so long to watch this movie?!

This is a very interesting tale of time travel and insanity, all wrapped around a rather poignant love story. I really must purchase this Blu because I can feel the need to watch again and again. Will probably discover many things in the viewings to come.

After, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I watched the 1962 French short that inspired the film, LA JETÉE. This is just under 30 minutes and comprised of music and voice over to still photos. Quite inventive and even more romantic.
