連卡珊卓的神話故事也收納進來了，很有趣的劇本，處理時間旅行的手法很特殊。
把正常人和瘋子用很多現代的分類法處理過，結果是：精神醫學成了新興宗教、消費廣告成了生活準則、精神[心理]分析也可以變成行為預測矩陣…
本來想如果這是小說改編的電影，那就好生佩服導演的功力，同時更好奇小說原著的表現方式與成就。不過，看來看去，好像是電影原著劇本。若是為了電影拍攝而寫，那麼許多視覺的處理方式就沒又那麼從文字化為影像的驚奇可言了。
恐懼科技和瘋狂科學家，恐懼現實可能導致的未來，一部很有趣的科幻電影。

There's the television. It's all right there - all right there. Look, listen, kneel, pray. Commercials!
We're not productive anymore. We don't make things anymore. It's all automated.
What are we *for* then? We're consumers, Jim. Yeah. Okay, okay.
Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen.
But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, if you don't, what are you then, I ask you? What? Mentally *ill*.
Fact, Jim, fact - if you don't buy things - toilet paper, new cars, computerized yo-yos, electrically-operated sexual devices, stereo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers...

Jeffrey Goines:
When I was institutionalized, my brain was studied exhaustively by the guys of mental health. I was interrogated, I was x-rayed, I was examined *thoroughly*.
[turns head and coughs]
Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind.
Yes! Using that model they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next, say, 10 years.
Which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind to - to determine everything I was gonna do in that period.
So you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me.
She knows everything I'm ever gonna do before I know it myself. How's that?

Dr. Kathryn Railly:
Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it.
Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it.
Dr. Kathryn Railly:
And what we say is the truth is what everybody accepts. Right, Owen?
I mean, psychiatry: it's the latest religion.
We decide what's right and wrong. We decide who's crazy or not.
I'm in trouble here. I'm losing my faith.
