Time travel has always been a fascinating subject in popular culture. It is notoriously hard to make a time travel movie whilst keeping an eye on all the various paradoxes that will undoubtedly appear. Somewhere around the '80s two seminal pieces of film making changed all that -
The Terminator and
Back To The Future.
What directors
James Cameron and
Robert Zemeckis showed us was that if they make a movie fun enough we, as an audience, would be more lenient towards the plot holes. This allowed for a slew of excellent films that ranged from the dark
12 Monkeys (more on that later) to last year’s whimsical
Woody Allen comedy
Midnight in Paris. The fact we are less pedantic about loopholes is what allows the new
Rian Johnson movie
Looper to be such a triumph.
