La Jetee
La Jetee makes me want to look into more short films. The way in which the short pictures are used to tell such an in depth, enthralling plot is fascinating to me. Not only is it interesting to think about a third world war and how the world would be effected by it, but it is also interesting to see what the writers and directors captured time travel. One of my favorite aspects of the movie, apart from the use of time travel to change the present, is that the man's burning memory was that of his own death. To me, such a dramatic end seems very French, of course, but very fitting and gripping.

The short pictures used to tell such an in depth, enthralling plot reminds me of the first 5 minutes of the movie "Up" when they tell the story of the 2 people's marriage and life together with no words, just pictures. To be abl to invoke such emotion in under 3 minutes without verbalization is hard to do and very impressive.
