La Jetée (English subtitles) [part 2/2] (Chris Marker, 1962)

Part 2 of Chris Marker's masterpiece, the inspiration for Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. A powerful and mesmerizing work of art that is a reflection on time, dreams, memories, happiness and love. Set in Paris after World War III and composed entirely of black & white still photos with narration, this enigmatic story always leaves me speechless.

No disrespect or copyright infringement intended. Almost 50 years after its release, this film should be shared with the widest possible audience, free of commercial interest.

Without a doubt, my favourite film of all time.

Scientists (German language)

First part of the movie: they sedate him (as seen), they count, they wait, they are unsure as of whether its a success or not; then they hardly can believe it.

Finally they say that "one half is in the past, the other in the present".

for me as a native german speaker their talk adds to me understanding the movie.

This video raises a philosophical question::

Is it possible to think in a different time? Has anyone thought in the future, or in the past? Or are thoughts themselves another form of time?

amazing thank you so much for the post. :) saw this recently in film school. much more clear the second time around

[MrAgmoore]

@JohnRobertPosey Yes it is possible to think in a different time; I trained under ex-CIA, David Morehouse. Google: "Remote Viewing"; "Psychic Warrior" by David Morehouse; "Mind Trek" by Joe McMoneagle. David Morehouse mentioned that Psychic Warrior was originally biblical in length and it had to be cut down, at the request of publishers, so the book is a superficial, imperfect reflection of the author. I originally found out about Remote Viewing by watching a documentary on The Discovery Channel

Merci pour le film! J'suis étudiant en train d'apprendre le français, et ça c'était vraiment utile.

I'm not the only one who thinks that the woman looks similar to Kirsten Dunst, am I?

I am currently writing a critical essay on this film for university, and how time dominates the characters and their journey. The more i watch it, the more encapsulated i become by it - its such an amazing and beautiful film. Really (excuse the pun) timeless.
