Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie
The article offers a deep dive into the thematic and stylistic connections between La Jetée and 12 Monkeys , emphasizing the role of memory, time, and fate in shaping both narratives. The key takeaway for me is how both films use innovative storytelling techniques— La Jetée with its still images and 12 Monkeys with its chaotic, surreal approach—to explore complex ideas of time and identity. Watching these films reminded me of the power of visual storytelling and how different methods (still shots, fragmented narratives) can be used to evoke emotion and provoke thought. This insight will be incredibly helpful in my own short film process. It reinforces the importance of visual style in conveying abstract themes and how a non-linear structure can create a unique emotional experience. I’ll focus on how the arrangement of images and the flow of time can reinforce the emotional core of my narrative.
