In the twisty time travel thriller Predestination, a temporal agent (Ethan Hawke) embarks on a final time-travelling assignment to prevent an elusive criminal from launching an attack that kills thousands of people. The story soon spirals into a baffling entanglement of events that leads into many unexcited and surprising directions, and its hard to keep up! We're breaking down the story's many twists, how time travel works in this universe, and explaining the ending - can we change the past or are things inevitable?

Imagine telling someone that a 1.5 hour film validly sets up a singular character to be the 2 main protagonists, the two main antagonists, their own parents and their own child. This film is insane

I often avoid commenting on this movie because the reviews from Western/US critics always describe it as a mind-blowing, never-before-seen plot twist. AND people have shown to be defensive when I try commenting (not criticizing). And as someone who's from the Balkans and saw "similar" twists in European, Korean, Asian, etc movies... this movie felt kinda predictable. As a matter of fact, I guessed and predicted the twist. I am not saying the movie is bad, but I fail to see the value in being exposed to only Western/US films and saying this was a groundbreaking plot twist. Because the ONLY thing people keep pressing this movie for is often the twist. The twist that they would see coming if they exposed themselves to more non-wester/non-US movies. Nobody praises the acting or effects. If the value of the film is only on one and only one aspect, then that movie is not amazing. At least to me. And I hope nobody reads this as somewhat condescending because it's not. That being said, the movie for me is still 7/10. Which is pretty high because I never gave a movie a 10 and seldom a 9. If you take this into account, I still find this movie good. It just annoys me the attitude towards this movie's "never-before-seen" twist. WHAT ELSE IS GOOD IN THE MOVIE??? TELL ME MORE ABOUT OTHER ASPECTS. Rant over. Thank you for coming to my RANTTalk.

@@nemonobody88 So you're saying lots of other movies were influenced by the same concepts outlined in a 1945 short story? Literature often serves as the impetus for screenplays, since screenwriters often read things too. It's not derivative or behind the times, they're all driving off the same body of literature.

John (the guy), and Jane (the girl), are biologically the exact same person with the exact same genes, meaning that when the baby was made, the genes weren't a combination of two different sets of genes like with a usual childbirth, but the exact same. So Jane gave birth to (biologically) herself. She is the exact same copy of the baby. Hope this helps!

It's probably just a fun coincidence but I like to think that the sign right behind old Jack at 31:00 that says "Please don't overload washers ..." refers to how the agency treats its agents. Jack, one of its "washers", was so overloaded that eventually he became everything that the agency tries to prevent, a product of their own failure. It's most likely not that but the way that they decided to put this bright, glowing yellow sign behind Old Jack the first time we see him is really intriguing from a framing standpoint.

That's a nice symbolism. Personally, I believe the looney John's conspiracy that the FBI time travel agency might have known all along that John was the Fizzle Bomber. It was a really great line: "We're all just dominoes falling down, one after the other. They're the ones that set it up. All we can do is watch it happen." Well something to that effect. The agency did have measures in place to prevent this sort of thing...the problem was their fail-safe measure to disable the time machine after x uses malfunctioned.

In addition to the predetermination paradox, the movie also tackles a bit of the Trolley Problem, a famous moral dilemma (aka the inspiration for the humorous fan wad "The Revenant Problem" if you play custom Doom maps). If you don't know what it is, the idea is simple: There's a train speeding down the tracks. Ahead of you there's a fork in the tracks. If the train continues on its current path, it will kill a greater number of bystanders who are in the train's path. You are unable to warn them in time. However, you can control the switch that would force the train down the other path. The problem is, this other path also has bystanders who would be hit and die, albeit a fewer number. So what do you do? Do you do nothing, and let the train kill more people--a statistically worse outcome? Or, do you make the choice to actively participate in the deaths of a fewer number of innocents--playing God, determining who lives and who dies, and letting their bodies hang on your conscience? The right thing to do should be to let fewer people die, but because of the psychological toll, many people in the hypothetical situation would rather do nothing. The movie briefly introduces this moral dilemma in the end. The seemingly mad, old John "Fizz Bomber" is convinced he's doing the right thing, because although he takes a repulsively high number of innocent lives, compared to the all the alternate timelines and the catastrophes that would happen if he didn't, he's actually saving more lives in the long run. To younger John, that reasoning doesn't justify mass murder today. But does it? This is an extension, on a much greater scale, of the same Trolley Problem. Perhaps John isn't quite so nuts from time travel exhaustion after all. Perhaps he had a valid moral position, and perhaps pondering this moral issue over the years leads him to the inevitable, logical conclusion that it is better to switch the tracks and kill a fewer number of innocents. Question is, does he actually witness those alternate realities firsthand, or does he take the newspaper clippings as good enough evidence? If the latter is true, then where did those paper clippings originally come from? Is it another question of the chicken or the egg? In the case of the former, that would pre-suppose he is capable of and in fact did break the time loop (by choosing not to be the bomber), but ultimately decides to be the bomber in the end. This would imply that *for a movie titled "Predestination," its seemingly helpless participants actually do have free will.*

You got one thing wrong with the "trolly dilemma," in that it's usually given as you said, only, instead of "fewer people," it's often portrayed as a family member or close friend, forcing your emotional hand. You SHOULD choose to kill the single individual over the loss of say, 10, strangers. The "Dilemma" is that since you know and love the single individual, could you sacrifice them to save multiple lives. Diabolical!! It's like a Bond villain's plan. 😂😂

She never checked her face in the mirror yet she has perfect makeup and hairdo? She really is a genius 😂😂😂. And how on earth would you not know your new look is exactly the face of the first man you fell in love with, who broke your heart?

By the time she had become male she had already given birth. When Jane met 'John' she had no idea that she'd look like him in the future.

@@chucklebutt4470 yeah true except she still had the same face! Yes she had an hysterectomy and double mastectomy but it’s the the same damn face at least I would suspect he was my long lost brother or something. If she fell in love with herself after her face looked like Ethan Hawke’s character that would be more believable.
