Excerpts from films I appreciate
En story in the story, in one of my favourite films
PAUL
All right. Listen carefully.
(The camera slowly moves in
for a close-up of PAUL'S face)
About twenty-five years ago, a young man went
skiing alone in the Alps. There was an
avalanche, the snow swallowed him up, and his
body was never recovered.
RASHID
(Mockingly)
The end.
PAUL
No, not the end. The beginning.
(Pause)
His son was just a little boy at the time, but
the years passed, and when he grew up, he
became a skier, too. One day last winter, he
went out by himself for a run down the
mountain. He gets halfway to the bottom and
then stops to eat his lunch next to a big rock.
Just as he's unwrapping his cheese sandwich, he
looks down and sees a body frozen in the ice --
right there at his feet. He bends down to take
a closer look, and suddenly he feels that he's
looking into a mirror, that he's looking at
himself. There he is -- dead -- and the body
is perfectly intact, sealed away in a block of
ice -- like someone preserved in suspended
animation. He gets down on all fours, looks
right into the dead man's face, and realizes
that he's looking at his father.
Cut to RASHID'S face. We see him listening intently.
PAUL (cont'd) (OFF)
And the strange thing is that the father is
younger than the son is now. The boy has become
a man, and it turns out that he's older than
his own father.
