Breath the air. To be with…her. Isn't that right? Isn't that what you want? Immediately after this conversation, Cole hatches his plan to trick the scientists into sending him back in time so he can be with Dr. So it seems likely that the man is a part of Cole's fractured personality, and their conversations are Cole's way of sorting out his own mind. Basically, he's talking to himself. Now, we hear some of you asking, "But what about that homeless man in ?
The homeless guy tells Cole that they have a tracking device in his teeth. But when Cole talks to him directly, he shirks away, frightened, as though he doesn't know Cole. That's a no-no. And when did you say you saw me? In ? But it is also entirely possible the two are the same person, and like a typical time-traveler in 12 Monkeys , he has become unhinged and mentally fragmented across the timeline.
Of course, we know you've come here seeking answers, something solid to ground your conversations on when talking about 12 Monkeys. Lucky for you, we've got one a solid fact: this guy could use a throat lozenge. Louie : '90! How was it? Good drugs? Lots of pussy? Hey, Bob, you do the job?
You find out the big info? Army of the 12 Monkeys? Louie : Science ain't an exact science with these clowns but, they're getting better. You're lucky you didn't end up in ancient Egypt! Louie, the toothless time traveler, is a real person -- and after meeting Louie, Cole -- in a state of extreme mental fatigue -- retroactively associates the raspy voice with Louie. FULL ANSWER: The raspy voice Cole hears without seeing its speaker is an audio hallucination akin to the voices heard by schizophrenia sufferers, who have described the voices as "spoken by an external, commanding authority" quote from New York Times article about schizophrenia.
Note below that in all three scenes with the raspy voice, the voice seems exactly like an external, commanding authority:. I believe Louie is telling the truth: he is a time traveller who has avoided returning to the future by removing his teeth.
At the same time, Louie's use of "Bob" and the way he seems to sound like the raspy voice is explained earlier by Railly when Cole tells her she is in his dream :.
Railly was wrong then -- it was her in Cole's dream. But the phenomenon she describes does occur when after meeting Louie, Cole -- in a state of extreme mental fatigue -- retroactively associates the raspy voice with Louie. Louie is Cole. Cole is Louie. From the future, and they meet as they go back and forward in time don't you see. Cole is stuck in an infinite loop, replaying his life over and over, as he dies he lives, he lives just to die again, infront of his younger self.

Ask Question. At the start of the night, Coppola sat at one end of the table and spent 15 to 20 minutes conferring with the chef about what to order. I think you should let them do it. Roven worked with the business affairs department at Universal, the studio where the film had been set up, to put together paperwork that was more thorough.
Well, slightly more thorough. They told him about their idea for 12 Monkeys and when they finished it, they sent him a copy of the script. Then Gibson dropped out to direct and star in Braveheart , and Gilliam was unable to get the level of financing he needed for his movie, even with Liam Neeson in the lead role. With Gilliam now available, they sent him the new version and he asked why they had wrecked the original.
I loved the fact that it went so many different places, and it wrapped you into this kind of DNA double helix of the future. The Peoples were confident their screenplay had found the right director. Gilliam had long burnished a distrust of the American film industry. Raised in Minneapolis, the filmmaker has spent almost his entire adulthood in England. A stalemate ensued. As the movie languished, Gilliam even resorted to taking out a full-page ad in Variety that called out Sheinberg by name, asking when he was going to put out the movie.
Gilliam held clandestine screenings of it around Los Angeles, which led to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awarding Brazil best film, best director, and best screenplay of Those wins forced Universal to acquiesce and finally release a slightly shorter version than the one that played in Europe.
It turned out to be a much-needed critical and commercial success. For a major studio, Gilliam was now a viable choice as a director, but in this particular situation there was still leftover baggage. Universal, the same studio Gilliam went to war with nearly a decade earlier, was set to make 12 Monkeys. Of course I knew about Brazil , but after sitting down with Terry and having a straightforward conversation about having to execute the movie at the agreed upon budget, ultimately believed in his sincerity, his talent and his passion for the script, which I shared.
Then there were some more personal matters. Steel passed away from brain cancer in And instead of him being outraged, he just started to laugh with that Terry giggle. Pepe and Fulton eventually turned their behind-the-scenes experience into the full-length documentary The Hamster Factor.
As the trailer would later show, it could be marketed, albeit inaccurately, as a fairly straightforward sci-fi thriller. And he was doing it with three major Hollywood stars. To secure that money, the producers knew they had to cast big-name actors in the main roles, and they eventually landed Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and Brad Pitt the three performers either declined to comment for this article or did not respond to requests to do so.
Gilliam initially wanted to reunite with Jeff Bridges, who had starred in The Fisher King , as Cole, but he came around to casting Willis for the part. Though just years earlier the actor had been flying around the world for Planet Hollywood openings , when filming on 12 Monkeys began in , Willis was in the middle of a career rehabilitation. The director said he decided to go with Willis because of the scene in the first Die Hard in which a physically and emotionally exhausted John McClane picks glass out of his feet in a fluorescent-lit bathroom.
Gilliam believes that it ended up being a career-best performance for Willis. She had a calming influence. Pitt originally met with the makers of 12 Monkeys about playing Cole, but they were already leaning toward Willis, and besides, they thought he was too young for the part.
Pitt revealed to Gilliam and the producers that Goines was the role he actually wanted to play, but his representatives told him to go for the lead. They cast him at a fortuitous moment. Pitt went all in on the part, working with a coach to help him deliver his motormouth lines, visiting a psychiatric hospital for research, and choosing to wear a special contact lens to make it look like he had a wandering eye. Though the screenplay was evocative, it gave Gilliam plenty of space for both his ludicrous visual humor and incredible sets.
It was up to me to create the rest.
