Is this film a prophecy for where the COVID-19 virus is heading?

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2020)

Does the story of Twelve Monkeys have some similarities in what is currently happening with the COVID-19 virus? The reason that people are up in arms with the implications of the pandemic is because the strain is strong and we don't want to wipe out our civilization with sickness and death. This is precisely the grim reality that this film depicts: A New York City where there are no humans roaming the metropolitan landscape. Only animals that escaped from the zoo can be seen.
My relationship with this movie has been misunderstood. I played Brad Pitt's character in a re-enactment at the Beverly Hills Playhouse in the intermediate class at the Los Feliz location. I felt that I could relate to the character due to my own personal bout with mental illness. Of course, my acting teacher wasn't on the same vibe and I got a terrible review with my acting portrayal.
I feel that this was Brad Pitt's best work because being able to play a character who is suffering from schizophrenia and is loaded up on a cocktail of medication in a psychiatric ward is very challenging and required an awful lot of research. I watched some supplemental behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the film and Brad Pitt really did his homework in order to bring the character to life.
As for Bruce Willis, he is the star and main character of the film and deserves some plaudits too. I find the subject of time travel to be a fascinating one as well. Wouldn't that be something if we could go back to just a few months ago and stop the Chinese from eating those strange under-cooked animals? Is that story-line even the truth behind how the virus originated.
