I know this is just a tad late, but after watching La Jetee, I feel that unlike other movies (or our typical movies) La Jetee shows us the importance of one picture, and what a picture can reveal. I watched a few movies this week with my friends, and i found that it takes a lot longer for typical movie to convey the mood of the scene. In La Jetee, the mood was captured by the picture (facial expressions and the narration). I personally enjoyed La Jetee, I thought it was very well thought out and has a lot of meaning behind it. I would like to see another movie that is similar to this movie so i could compare them.

Interesting comparison! Yes, la Jetee is a very compact telling of a story! It really demonstrates how little you need to convey a moving, and even complicated, storyline.
ReplyDeleteI like that you brought in thinking about it in relation to the kinds of films you see in other places like the space of everyday entertainment.
