Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Blog Content: I enjoyed the video. Despite delving into the intricate details of dark and chaotic scenes, the narrator's calming voice stood out. "Le Jetee" truly emphasises the significance of a film score. Although initially labelled as a photo novel, it marked the shift from photo novels to stop motion films. This psychological thriller unfolded through a series of black and white images, yet maintained a coherent narrative. "12 Monkeys" attempted a similar storyline but couldn't capture the poignant essence of the heart-wrenching photo novel. This experience serves as a reminder that every shot contributes to a story – angles, lighting, and sounds elevate it to a higher level. The decision to read an article reinforced my agreement with the author's comments. Both films share a plot, with "12 Monkeys" paying homage to Le Jetee but incorporating innovative techniques for a fresh perspective. It was a beautiful tribute to Chris Marker's brilliance, showcasing remarkable effects, plot, and execution that left a lasting impact on cinema. This endeavour pushed boundaries by blending genres and attracting diverse audiences, inspiring me to draw inspiration from cinematic staples in a way that aligns with my unique style and vision.
