Twelve Monkeys
The ending, where you really accept that he'll never escape his fate. I don't think it's so much that, rather than the fact that he's never allowed even the slightest bit of freedom, he'll always have been just a monkey in a cage. After that, and watching his younger self walk off to live out that whole shitty life, the near-extermination of the human race is almost an afterthought.
When I first got the movie years ago I think I watched it about five times in the one week and it absolutely incapacitated me each time. |
