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.

  1. 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.

    I 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.
