I just watched 12 Monkeys for the first time, I'm confused. Surprise right?

He see's himself get killed as an adult, but doesn't know that it's him. So is he cursed to grow up and re-live everything over and over again like a time-loop? If you want to fully explain the film to me, be my guest. Please, if you do, tell it like you'd tell a 8 year old. I'm pretty confused by this movie.

    No, he is not cursed to relive it over and over because: remember, this isn't his "real" time - he has gone back in time and is looking at his "Past self" as a child. That child has already grown up and IS him.
