The film La Jette was so different from anything I have ever seen before. At first I was very confused to what was actually going on but after a few minutes in I caught on. I liked how the film was to the point each still had an important part in the film. In most movies there is so much that isn’t necessary and even more film that isn’t even used I just like how so much was told with just stills and that some were reused. I wouldn’t have thought a movie made of only stills could show so much emotion or even be interesting but La Jette was a pleasant surprise.
Like Evan, you make a good point here Rachel: that la Jetee reveals to us the only elements absolutely necessary for film making. That doesn't mean those other films are "wrong," but now you have a basis for comparison you can think about why other films may do things other ways. In other words, you can start to see some of the differences and choices that you may otherwise take for granted.
