RE: In the movie Twelve Monkeys who understood the ending of the movie? (Its played by Brad Pit and Bruce Wilus) I dont really understand the last scene when the two main characters are in the airport, and if the virus has spead or not cause the man with the virus was on the plan.he memory that had haunted the character since his childhood was real and was actually the death of his future self that was sent back in time. In 12 Monkeys, Bruce Willis and Madeline Stowe are at the airport attempting to escape forever when they coincidentally run into the bad guy who releases the virus.
