Tristan,
12 Monkeys was inspired by La Jetee. There are all kinds of parallel ideas, images and themes in both films. You can watch La Jetee here and then watch 12 Monkeys. See how many things you can find in both films. It should be a surprising adventure and you will learn a lot about how filmmakers think about their work. I put some links to some articles about the 2 films here so you can get some backup info before you start.
