Death and time

From those who have not seen the movie and want to, you should not read the next paragraph. La Jetee is an excellent film to watch when your high because of the difference in cinematography.  This movie set up by a collection of pictures, with a narrator. Now I know it can sound boring, but it is so well made it and the idea behind it is very amazing and was made in 1963.


Spoiler Alert: 


After watching this movie, me and a high buddy explained basically a very viable explanation as to what happens when you die. As seen in the movie, we see the main character witness his own death which has marked him as a child, this was because in a post-apocalyptic world  after word war three the man was put into a time traveling experiment. We can further explain that it as a constant cycle of time in his own life since when he goes back in time, he lives again as a child. Therefore explaining that time is really constant and then we all die, just to live the same life as we did. When you die, this constant of time starts over and this can further explain that time is really relative, and that we all live in the time in which we are born and we just revolve over our own life when we die. There is basically no way to escape this and we are all trapped in our own myth of Sisyphus. Although time keeps going, and there is a future, every human being or "self" is trapped in the time they live in.

Hoped you enjoyed! and Highly recommend to watch this movie high!
