I ' m just here to watch it burn <| sep |> Is it really so hard to comprehend that everyone is struggling and now that a blatantly racist white male has been elected POTUS that certain people are struggling much more ? Maybe you should put into perspective what exactly your struggles are when there are people getting assaulted for practicing their freedom of religionexpression , a principle this country was founded on . <| sep |> All of these roles take you out of classrooms . <| sep |> 1066 was a bitch other dates come to mind . but for not being in a serious war or plagues or whatnot it ' s pretty shitty <| sep |> For sure , I can ' t say I see any flaws in terms of the filmmaking . I can respect ignoring the intricacies of time travel , I just personally always struggle with it . Just varies from viewer to viewer . You can say it ' s silly to argue , but the entire premise of the film is time travel so I can ' t personally get past everything that doesn ' t make any sense to me . It ' s been a good while I ' ve seen 12 Monkeys , have you seen it honest question ? but I recall the basic idea was there is absolutely no changing the past to effect future events , which is a route almost no time travel films take and I appreciated . Basically time is written , you can travel back , but all that already happened in the past anyway . All a big loop , and history is written and inevitable . Heady stuff , and I am very amateur when it comes to the theories , but IMO 12 Monkeys was the only one that didn ' t make me say bullshit . And Primer I guess , but eh .
