Am I the _only_ person out there who was irritated by the very linear editing of "12 Monkeys"? One of the key ideas played with in the film is the whole idea of fantasy versus realty and how time travel would cause one to confuse the two. As an audience member, I just couldn't understand why Bruce Willis's character got so confused about what is real at one point where he's talking with the psychiatrist in the seedy hotel -- as an audience member who had experienced what Willis had seen in the film so far, I wasn't confused at all. Overall, I just wanted this film to stop being so neat and tidy and really _try_ to confuse me. Maybe I'll make my own edit of the thing for my own amusement when it becomes available on video. Heck, it would probably be a good exercise for an editing class in film school. RAND ------------------------------------------------- Randy A.
