| The Marker - Break the Cage |
 |
Every day we have seen the bars
Every day we have touched the walls
We've walked in darkness
And chose not to see
What's always been around us
That we could have been free
The chains have come off ofus
And the door is wide open
The rain has stopped falling
Our rainbow is near
This cage had been broken
The way is now clear
Let's break this cage, break this cage
And take the cover from our eyes
To see the light between the clouds
Let's go over, let's go over
And face the true reality
That the human kind cannot see

Directed by Chris Marker (inspiration for
Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys)
La Jetee's Script pt.1
This is the story of a man, marked by an
image from his childhood. The
violent scene that upsets him, and whose
meaning he was to grasp only years
later, happened on the main jetty at Orly,
the Paris airport, sometime
before the outbreak of World War III.
Orly, Sunday. Parents used to take their
children there to watch the
departing planes.
On this particular Sunday, the child whose
story we are telling was bound
to remember the frozen sun, the setting at
the end of the jetty, and a
woman's face.
Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary
moments. Later on they do claim
remembrance when they show their scars. That
face he had seen was to be the
only peacetime image to survive the war. Had
he really seen it? Or had he
invented that tender moment to prop up the
madness to come?
The sudden roar, the woman's gesture, the
crumpling body, and the cries of
the crowd on the jetty blurred by fear.
Later, he knew he had seen a man die.
And sometime after came the destruction of
Paris.
Many died. Some believed themselves to be
victors. Others were taken
prisoner. The survivors settled beneath
Chaillot, in an underground network
of galleries.
Above ground, Paris, as most of the world,
was uninhabitable, riddled with
radioactivity.
The victors stood guard over an empire of
rats.
The prisoners were subjected to experiments,
apparently of great concern to
those who conducted them.
The outcome was a disappointment for some -
death for others - and for
others yet, madness.
One day they came to select a new guinea pig
from among the prisoners.
He was the man whose story we are telling.
He was frightened. He had heard about the
Head Experimenter. He was
prepared to meet Dr. Frankenstein, or the Mad
Scientist. Instead, he met a
reasonable man who explained calmly that the
human race was doomed. Space
was off-limits. The only hope for survival
lay in Time. A loophole in Time,
and then maybe it would be possible to reach
food, medicine, sources of
energy.
This was the aim of the experiments: to send
emissaries into Time, to
summon the Past and Future to the aid of the
Present.
But the human mind balked at the idea. To
wake up in another age meant to
be born again as an adult. The shock would be
too great.
Having only sent lifeless or insentient
bodies through different zones of
Time, the inventors where now concentrating
on men given to very strong
mental images. If they were able to conceive
or dream another time, perhaps
they would be able to live in it.
The camp police spied even on dreams.
This man was selected from among a thousand
for his obsession with an image
from the past.
Nothing else, at first, put stripping out the
present, and its racks.
They begin again.
The man doesn't die, nor does he go mad. He
suffers.
