original description

Spoiler! If you haven't seen it don't read this!At about 7minutes fifty seconds is the famous moving scene- watch her face closely. Some guy wrote at another YT version that its just another series of stills- it is, at 24 frames per second. She opens her eyes and blinks 3 times...sort of like Dorothy clicking her heels. In the next segment the pair are pictured with stuffed animals- and they don't move any more than the specimens do- so the scene in bed is where he got back in time, really, just for a moment, before being yanked back.- and one realizes that in this story, innocent people like them, (like us?) in love for a moment, are as doomed as the trilobytes. I didn't know about this scene- when I noticed it on the 4th or 5th viewing I was amazed, and ran the projector back several times to be sure. Wow. In a world of stagnant frozen moments, a tiny movement is like seeing a miracle. Someday we won't move at all. Carpe Diem, and Carpe Noctem, my friends! We take our choice of movements somewhat for granted. It is such a blessing to move through this world, and to have a living, breathing world through which to move. The suggestion that innocence, kindness, and feelings will perish long before the human race is the scariest notion here. May we never be as efficient as the cockroaches, who eat their dead pals. May we always strive to keep love in our hearts, no matter what. Dream better dreams for the future, please, than the world of "la jetee". Peace/ out.
