Gee, I wonder where the word "movies" comes from.

Could it be the word "MOVE". /s

If the public wants to see a story that takes place on 1 or two sets, they will go to a play.

There is a French film from 1962 called “La Jettee” which Terry Gilliam remade as “12 Monkeys” starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.

The original French film is actually a series of slides (B&W) with a narration by a man we never see. There is only one scene with any motion at all — at one point we see a woman blink. That’s it.

I actually find the original French version quite compelling, but I truly love “12 Monkeys”. I have strange taste in film.
