La Jetée
The Paradox of 'The View' and Its Historical Context
In the narrative of "La Jetée" in Northern Lebanon, during Ottoman rule, Christians were hurled from a precipitous cliff.
Christians “on death row” would plummet from the summit to the valley. The bodies of those condemned were left unattended, attracting wild beasts to consume the remnants.
Contemplating the mystery of this expansive landscape, with its profound valleys and towering mountains stretching to the horizon, it's hard to fathom the experiences of the defiant Christians who met their fate in this seemingly enchanted panorama.
