The movie La Jetee is a movie very different from what I am used to watching. This film is about time travel but presented in very dramatic way. The man is being used as a science experiment and almost being tortured to the point of death. Although this movie is not in motion the pictures do a great job with the close ups and the long shots. The close ups of the man suffering during the experiments. The long shots when he is with the woman enjoying their trips at various places. The sound and narration help add to tension that the film makes me feel. The outing with the women makes the audience think this is the happy ending to the story, but in fact is part of the plot not the end. It's interesting to see how is all black and white pictures when now a days we are so used to color and motion pictures. Yet it makes a great move without all the technology we are used to.
