Will this be the last war on earth?
-Your nerves are shot. You should see a doctor about that.
No, Kholin, wait a minute. You were killed...and I survived. I must think about this.

"La Jetée" (1963) Directed by Chris Marker
"This is the story of a man marked by an image of his childhood. The violent scene which upset him and whose meaning he was to grasp only years later, happened at the main pier at Orly, Paris Airport sometime before the outbreak of World War Three.
Orly. Sunday. There, the parents used to take their children to watch the departing planes. Of this particular Sunday, the child whose story we are going to tell was bound to remember this sight of a frozen sun, of a stage setting at the end of the pier, and of a woman's face. Nothing tells memories from ordinary moments. Only afterwards do they claim remembrance on account of their scars. That face--which was to be a unique image of peacetime to carry with him through the whole wartime--he often wondered if he had ever seen it. Or if he had dreamed a lovely moment to catch up with a crazy moment that came next."
