Looper: Cid can’t control his powers (HD CLIP)

[@stephengrigg5988]

The trigger man seems like a decent guy. He clearly felt bad for drawing down on a kid and immediately put his hands up

[@muhammadosamaraza4105]

Yes indeed, always liked that part. Shows that he was a good guy in some parts

[@flailyyy]

Its because thats his boss. That kid becomes the rainmaker

@@Cygnus888 nah, it's full. If you go frame-by-frame at 2:47 when the cylinder falls out, you can see it's loaded. It was just damaged when the trigger man is killed.

[@stellarcubicbeam7760]

The shock and horror in his voice and serious question when he asked "did he kill her like that". Great acting both parts, looked like real life 100% reaction to a freakish grizzly slaughter of what was probably a descent soul.

[@Gmoviesmoothie]

2:19 seriously JGL portrays a young Bruce Willis flawlessly, right down to how he speaks/shouts, just the mannerisms and everything let alone the makeup. I will never stop praising this.

[@brbbiobreak]

Now that you mention it, he may not look like him but he does very much sound like him.

[@jeffmachia53]

I can't explain why, but when Joe says, "he doesn't", it just gives me the chills

[@SeanKL107]

Same, might be my favorite line of the movie honestly.

[@nuttanontchaturachanyaloet1324]

pretty sure because of "Joe" he got a bad parent before and he just felt like Cid had bad parent one as well at that moment. Joe also talked about how bad his parent are to Cid when they were hiding in a secret tunnel as well.

[@theerealatm]

And it lowkey tells the chick... She was a bad mother. Even though that wasn't why he went bad.

[@MFRiley]

Senseless time travel or not, this movie is amazing.

[@Girtharmstrong69]

Really? It’s writing is very lazy I mean cmon a kid just screams and kills anyone

[@MFRiley]

@@Girtharmstrong69 I disagree. They set up the kids powers at the very beginning of the movie with the people that can levitate quarters. It makes sense that a more powerful being might emerge in a world like that. It also makes sense that he probably wouldn't be able to control such extreme powers at a young age. There is so much cause and effect in the movie, actions leading to consequences, leading to other actions. That's why I love it. It explores things many of us deal with now, and some things none of us ever have or will. It's just an all around unique movie, and a great watch.

[@Girtharmstrong69]

@@MFRiley except having a child that is the most powerful character in the movie is an easy way out for a writer the screaming scene was cringey like it came out of some university film project

[@derekstaroba]

Such a good movie breaks me ❤️

[@Stranzua]

​@@Girtharmstrong69I disagree. It paints the Rainmaker as extremely powerful. In the future not only does he have the power of telekinesis and possibly even telepathy, but he is also about to control time travel and rule the world.

[@jordanverbeek5121]

I love the shot at 3:24 because it shows the difference between Young and Old Joe. The older version would have shot him from that position immediately because of the threat. The younger version actually takes a moment to see what Cid really is - a scared kid. He's not the Rainmaker at that point, so he crosses over the gap between them and offers him the one thing that Old Joe wouldn't think about. Compassion.

[@elijahvigil7467]

I love Joe's reaction when he realizes Cid's true power. Almost as if he understood his older self's motive to kill him, in an odd way he would've been saving the future of humanity if he had killed him before he knew how to control his telekinetic power

[@Tom.88234]

Yes but in another odd way you can see that Emily Blunts character is right too I that if Cid does grow up with her in a loving environment he can do good. Just imagine what a beneficial impact to the world a philanthropist telekinetic could do.

[@mikedawolf95]

@@Tom.88234thanks to the end, he will grow up a loving guardian with $$$. Kind of bad we don’t get to see what happens now thanks to Joe sacrifice himself.

[@CarsonHawkins-v6u]

I like how Joe realizes that Sid has the potential to be a true monster. A terrifying God-like being. And goes straight for the kill. But can't bring himself to execute a kid.

[@luisitoflexx8701]

I see comments saying that he grows up to be the rainmaker regardless which is wrong. When they first speak of the rainmaker they say he has a prosthetic jaw (because old joe shot him) and that he saw his mother get shot (by old joe as seen when young joe has that vision near the end of the movie). Sara always did say if she raised him right maybe he could use his powers for good. When Old joe shot him in the jaw he was about to explode, but Sara calmed him down which proves he can control his TK powers. So therefor when young joe took himself out. He changed up the chain of events. The rainmaker didn’t see his mother get shot and he didn’t grow up by himself. And even then, what loops would he close if Old joe wiped out everybody right before he went to the farm. Point is time was changed cid most likely grew up controlling his powers. Awesome film.

[@RyanKaufman]

The movie itself signals it's not better for Cid to die. They purposefully avoid killing the young loops because killing the young for the crimes of the old is not good business and clouds up timelines. What is the point of keeping alive a guy with no arms or legs? Just shoot him and be done with it, no? No, apparently. The movie is showing us it values the young so much so that it refuses to kill them if it can help it. And so we see this in what you say - the film directly states if Rainmaker has a mother, he will remain Cid. But people wanna be dramatic so it is what it is

[@elijahvigil7467]

I can see your point of view, but don't forget that Old Joe just took out the Gat Men, not the Loopers 🤷‍♂️ the guys wearing black and working for Abe were just extra muscle but not the actual guys whom killed guys with silver/gold bars strapped to their backs from the future. So sure nobody from the Kansas crime syndicate would come after young Joe since his older self took them all out, but all the other guys whom either closed their loops or were still employed by Abe would very much still be alive 30 years from then 🤔

[@bumpin0]

There is zero evidence that he would grow up good though. Your making a gamble that maybe if someone raise him he wouldn't become the rainmaker. All it proves is Cid can control his powers. Are you willing to risk thousands of lives and a horrible future on a slight chance he might become good.

[@mr.vesper5659]

This is a great reveal in the film.

[@KiuLang]

The way it deconstructs time travel and the superhero genre at the same time - this is one of the most underrated films of all time. It should've gotten an Oscar nomination.

Lol no.

[@wanderinginthewoods_sam]

*OH MY GOD!* That sent shivers down my spine. You don't see what happened, but you knew exactly what went down. I love this science fiction film and love the way everything was captured. The moment he see's the kid, I knew he had a change of heart and couldn't go through with it. Just the way the kid looks at him and hugs him.

[@KonigGustavAdolph]

Great characterization touch with Jesse. The second he sees it's a kid he points his gun away from him because, well, he doesn't want to accidentally shoot a kid. Turns our he should have purposefully shot the kid but that is besides the point.

Really underrated movie…. In my information.

[@kyleblackburne2870]

He says he doesn’t grow up to be good but doesn’t he go on to stop all organised crime by closing all the loops 🤷‍♂️

[@jixdahac]

Yeah thats what I was thinking lol. It's confusing. Maybe he's a cop? Or a future cop and does exactly that.. and Joe sees it as a threat because he is a ex criminal. So Joe sees justice differently Both young and pld

[@davidday-muncey5766]

The Rainmaker didn't stop organised crime in the original loop out of some sense of justice, he was a massmurdering supervillain. He didn't stop organised crime at all, he took control of the criminal underworld singlehandedly, then banned looping and ordered hits on the loopers for revenge.

[@worawatsr9803]

The Rainmaker rules all crime organizations in the future. So yes, he doesn’t turn out to good..

[@glowingunknown5625]

This movie brings two "magical" elements... time travel and telekinesis. Normally movies are supposed to avoid that as a rule of thumb because it takes away from credulity with the audience. Interesting that they pulled it off.

[@imanoldurango8213]

Well they kept the two magical elements very grounded. Both elements take a back seat compared to the story. It’s not about time travel or about telekinesis.

If Joe didnt kill himself at the end of the movie, cid would have became the rainmaker. Everything that happened in this movie was supposed to happen for Cid to become the rainmaker, but because joe killed himself at the end, cids mom never died.

They need a sequel where it turns out that Cid still becomes The Rainmaker anyway, only now because he blames the loopers for young Joe killing himself. In that movie, though, Cid is the hero we're rooting for, not some scary villain from the future.

[@MyDailyMeltdown]

This is a strange bit of writing but if The Rainmaker is easily triggered and murders people just for being mad or scared at the age of like 7 he is already a psychopath. Maybe that's the point of the movie? that even though Joe dies and his loop ends maybe he is still evil. Because no amount of good raising is gonna stop him from exploding people for being mad. That kid needed to be put down.

Quick question How long does it take to run of the house through the nearest open door? Are these people trying to tell me that from the time Cid starts falling down the flight of stairs...to when he killed the gunman, Emily and Joseph's characters haven't run out through the nearest door? I mean, seriously?

[@vanessagras]

Well when he falls if shes dodging at joe at the same time to get out the front door, its plausible. We're not seeing their action simultaneously. Cid trips, falls, rolls, reacts after a bit of confusion, rains hell on jesse. Cid trips joes reacts to try to save him, gets pushed out the door. Cid trips mom dodges to joe, pushes him out the door. Cid trips, jesse sees weird shit happening, starts floating, sees cid at bottom of stairs(probably wondering why that lady just pushed joe out the door) explodes The scene of her and joe coming out is the real time speed if you consider her response from the moment she sees cid trip...cause she was the only one who knew what was about to happen
