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

 Part 1: My takeaway from this video is that instead of it being a complete remake it is more of an imagining, and emphasized the structure of the film and how it presents a more detailed narrative. I have seen that both films explore themes of memory and a connection to identity and time. The different between both films however is La Jetee uses more of a minimalist and poetic approach whereas 12 monkeys uses a various different amount of genres which give a mystery driven narrative

Part 2: My Takeaway from the article is that "La Jetee" uses monochromatic images with voice over narration to be able to create a unique experience and they end up giving a contemplative tone. The Themes of this film revolve of memory and time and are about the protagonists powerful memory of witnessing his own death. The film shows the diversity and versatility of cinema and has been able to influence later films

My Takeaway from "12 Monkeys" was that it was inspired by "La Jetee" and it develops from this film by adding modern cinematic elements. The themes had to do with time travel and explores paradoxes and consequences of time travel as well as themes of societal collapse and the distrust of certain institutions
