I haven't seen "12 Monkeys", but I am a great fan of "La Jetee". I find
it very strange that you read these ideas into it -- or does your analysis
apply basically only to "12 Monkeys"? I don't think "La Jetee" has anything
to do with madness or psychiatry or any such thing. If you do think it does,
could you elaborate?
