Looper | Meeting Abe

[JBoy]

"Your expecting for us to break your fingers with a hammer, something not gonna happen"
The Hammer is right on the table lolol

[Whoyouwishyouwere]

I love how Joe does a call back to Abe's "so I changed it"

[rat_boy_u]

Joseph Gordon Levitt really did an excellent job, he even did a decent job making the facial expressions Bruce Willis uses.

[kikoitanhas]

It took me time to notice that in the end Joe repeats exactly Abe's words before killing himself and changing his whole loop

[Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

1:56 that smirk looks so much like a Bruce Willis smirk. He did a great job copying his mannerisms. And Jeff Daniels was somehow so cool but also intimidating at the same time. I love how he plants the idea of going to China in Joe's head. He already knew he was going there 😂

[mourad]

"I'll show you how much I know you. I'm not even gonna break you, I'm just gonna set you back a ways..."
That just stuck with me, even years after seeing this movie. Something so cold about that line and how Jeff Daniels delivers it.

[TROOPERfarcry]

I don't understand how this movie just came and went... barely a blip. It's so under-rated. JGL did a *fine* job in this film... the script was good, the cast was good, the *story* was good. There are literally no downsides.

[ptit-monsieur]

Looper was one of those movies I didn't expect and yet I desperately needed it

[Jack-yxwf]

I love that you can see Jeff Daniels look completely flummoxed by the correction of him learning French instead of Mandarin, for just a split second, but he rolls with it for the sake of his pre-written monologue that he assumes/knows Joe will falter to. And also the minute Abe knows he's thrown Joe he throws in a haymaker about "Why French?" because it's not what he knows, it's about what he didn't anticipate. Which as someone from the future who has had the luxury of using that knowledge for his benefit, is probably a bit of a wild card a la "Is this going to lead to something I can't anticipate?" Which ironically it does, just not from that particular point in time.

Like he said, it fries your brain like an egg

Im from the future. You should go to China

That line just made me laugh and oddly enough its my favorite exchange in the film

[J_C_CH]

You can't blame Joe too much for having to give up Seth. Remember, he hid Seth inside the floor safe, which is where Joe was keeping his stash of silver. Even if he chose to protect Seth, they'd almost certainly find him when they went to take half his silver away. So Joe wouldn't just lose his silver, but Seth would've been caught anyway.

[JaquzziJones]

Abe being future kid blue is something I fuck with. Who the fuck doesn’t get pissed off thinking about their past self?

[Arbron]

Poor Joe really didn't have much choice in the matter, and I think Abe saw through that.

[danalexander]

Abe already knew where Seth was, which is why he threatened to take Joe’s stash.

[marklipson]

One of the best scenes. I love the way it's written and think Jeff Daniels is the best. That scene just cooks along, like the best old noir dialogue...lived-in.

[scottwall]

He acting like Bruce Willis of the future. Not himself before he becomes that. Brilliant

[TheLewistownTrainspotter]

This is Abe being reasonable. Nothing gets someone to do what you want faster than threatening their money.

[mbaxter]

I just want to see a movie about Abe’s life.

[thesilentknight]

He gave up the riddlers secret hiding spot. Ultimate score. Never have to find those damn trophies😊

[bozotheclown]

Being from the future seems a bit overpowered, I'm sure Abe could've made a killing with sports betting.
