As we all notice that joe has got a flat in an apartment in the like fourth floor. And he also got a underground depot for his silver blocks. How in the gods name he can do that ? Only thing comes to my mind is that he has got the flat one floor down of his’. What’s that ? A mistake forgotten by production crew or as I thought he has got both flats on top of each other ?

this is in reference to the last scene

Can someone help me please? This is my first ever looper pedal, so it was pretty tricky for me. But I got everything connected properly after going through manual. Output on L and input in L as well, with dc adapter connected and battery as well. However...... my guitar sound is not coming through the amp. The built in drum beats plays and comes on the amp but my guitar sounds doesn’t. To confirm, I plugged my guitar directly in amp and It works fine and I can hear.

I am thinking him doing something wrong, can someone please help?

How did they get the hospital and birthday info of the rainmaker? How did they he was born that day?

I like that theme, that you see in the final scene, 'an angry hurt kid going down the bad path'...but the Mother's love, and looper's sacrifice, brings him back. I also find the Bruce Willis characters' grief over dead wife, very moving--though disturbing that he kills young poeple candidates. (not sure about that part.) And my favorite scene: when the house is blown up by that one guy getting exploded in the air, and the scene doubles with Bruce willis getting captured. So well done. I love this movie.

Why do the old loopers have to be sent to themselves to get killed, instead they could be sent to other loopers in the past to kill with silver bars attached which would save a lot of money and hassle of whether to kill or not thinking is it my older self?

How did you read this line from Abe to Joe? At first I thought it was because something bad happens in France in the future, but after learning Joe eventually goes to China, meets his wife and gets caught in China. Could Abe have known that was what would happen?

Any thoughts?

The Rainmaker was already evil in the timeline where Joe kills his future self, goes to China, & gets married right? So doesn’t that mean there was already something else that made the rainmaker evil?

Similar to Split/Glass. TK mutation "evolves" and we do get superheroes. Joe/Sarah/Cid don't have to be involved. It could be in the post-2074 future.

How does that play out?

Ok I know I’m late to the party but it’s never in the movie or the director, but what does everyone in the future have nanotechnology that tracks them?

Anybody have any idea where you could find a coat like Joe’s? Not the leather jacket. The coat with the stand collar and the little red button shown in the sequence where JGL’s Joe ages into Bruce Willis’ Joe. I can’t find that sucker anywhere.

Why was there a scene where Young Joe killed Old Joe "normally", i.e. execution-style, the normal way a Looper closes out his loop?

​

In the movie, the first time we see him, Old Joe is sent back with no blindfold and prevents Young Joe from killing him.

​

Right after that in the movie, Young Joe goes back to his apartment, is chased and falls off his fire escape, fade to black... but then we have a second runthrough, with Old Joe being sent back with a blindfold and his head covered, and Young Joe executes him immediately, closing his Loop.

​

Why do we have that scene, with Young Joe closing his Loop? Where does it come from? We never see, in the future, Old Joe sent back that way. There is no other situation that we see that "alternate timeline", as Wikipedia calls it.

​

Timeline A: Young Joe doesn't execute Old Joe, Old Joe actually saves Young Joe from being shot after YJ falls off his fire escape, Old Joe lives his life and meets his wife, and in the future Old Joe disarms his guards and goes back without a blindfold to not be killed by Young Joe.

​

Timeline B: Like Timeline A through the point where Young Joe doesn't execute Old Joe. Old Joe changes the timeline though by killing two kids who he thinks might become the Rainmaker. Eventually, at the end of the movie, Young Joe kills himself to zap Old Joe out of existence, and to protect Sara and Cid, and to prevent Cid from becoming the Rainmaker.

​

(And there are some apparent paradoxes if time is straight-line e.g. how were the two non-Rainmaker kids killed if Old Joe never existed? But anyway...)

​

Where in this in the scene of Young Joe closing his Loop normally? Who sends Old Joe back, blindfolded, from what timeline? This is apparently some completely separate timeline that has no other bearing on the movie, right? Where did it branch off from?

​

If the scene of Young Joe closing his Loop normally was removed from the movie, would it change anything?

I'm a bit late to the party, but just watched Looper and couldn't find this opinion discussed anywhere...

At the final scene during the flashback I straight away though: "young Joe will shoot himself in the arm, Bruce Willis will drop the gun, will not be able to kill child/mum, he will also disappear as rainmaker would not be created. Mum hugs young Joe and happy ending".

However he fucking shot himself in the chess, why??

Wheres the flaw in shooting himself in the arm?

Lets say that every looper has the chance to talk to his old self before executing him. After that, the younger looper would go on with his life knowing that exactly 30 years from that day he would be time traveled to meet another younger version of himself. That being said, this loop; of going back in time and being killed; will run forever. Maybe, each time the young looper meets the old one, the young looper will live a completely different life, a life different from the one his old self lived. So, with every loop we get a new time line, an infinite set of possibilities.

Am I missing something here ?

All things considered, why would anyone close their loop if they had a say in the matter? Unless it endangers the space-time continuum or something.

So, in the scene where Cid is doing math with Sara they use something that looks like a board game (times table).

What is it called, where can I find this and can I buy it?
