As the driving force behind the proposal to shoot "12 Monkeys", film producer Robert Kosberg has always had a soft spot for the 1962 French short film "Dyke". In his opinion, this avant-garde short film is enough to make a movie. Extraordinary science fiction feature film. Kosberg persuaded the film's director Chris Mark to approach Universal Pictures, who reluctantly agreed to buy the rights to film the adaptation and hired David Webber Pepples and Janet Pepples to write the script. Producer Charles Rowan decided to let Terry Gilliam direct the film because he believes that Gilliam’s style is very suitable for the nonlinear plot and time travel in the film. Before directing this film, Gilliam had just given up on a film adapted from "A Tale of Two Cities". Although the script of "12 Monkeys" was written by others, Gilliam, who has always been happy to write and direct himself, still treats Pipples. The couple’s work was fully affirmed. He said: “This is a charming and clever script. It tells a confusing story about time, madness and perception of the world. It explores madness, dreams, and dreams in a fragmented background. Death and rebirth."

This is a film with a reasonable plot design but overjoyed, but it doesn’t feel like entering IMDB250. It’s generally deep and the plot is useless. The montage is really good. The other is nothing. The name Twelve Monkeys is added. It’s a bit of mystery—it’s clearly used to mislead the audience, haha

See the chaos of time and space again, and see the salvation again. What's more terrifying is that humans themselves killed the heroes who went back to the past to save them from the future; what's even more desperate is that Bruce saw his own future death as a child. This script is very interesting, the rescuer kills the rescuer, and he sees his own future killing.

L.J. Washington: I don't really come from outer space.
Jeffrey Goines: Oh. L. J. Washington. He doesn't really come from outer space.
L.J. Washington: Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?
