The main advocate of long lens theory

The main advocate of the long lens theory is Bazin.

I. Introduction to Bazin

Andre bazan is a master of French post-war classic film theory. 1945 published the groundbreaking article "The World of Movies" of the theoretical system of film realism. In 1950s, he founded Cinema magazine and served as the editor-in-chief.

Bazin died young, unable to personally experience an innovative period of post-war western films-the rise of the new wave in France. However, the new wave set off by his colleagues in the film handbook (the famous film handbook school) put his theory into practice on the screen and brought a new breath of real aesthetics to the film.

Second, Bazin's theory

Bazin believes: "The authenticity of narrative is directly opposed to the authenticity of sensibility, and the authenticity of sensibility first comes from the authenticity of space." The practice of montage theory is "telling events", which will inevitably divide space and time, thus destroying perceptual truth.

The influence of long lens theory on later generations and its theoretical significance;

1, the influence of later generations

Andre bazan didn't write a rigorous film theory book like the later film theorists, but every article of his, especially his later articles, is rigorous in argument, clear in meaning and clear to read. His untimely death stranded countless grand film theory plans, but his unique temperament fascinated May Li Ai, Renoir and Delluc.

Through an intellectual force, we have reached the stage of "rationality and passion". Among the next generation of film directors and film critics, we can obviously feel this change in film temperament. This temperament, together with his film reviews published in major newspapers, influenced the film taste of French intellectuals, and also cultivated a generation of film youth with his persistent club screening activities.

2. Theoretical significance

Numerous montage arts can only deepen the absurdity and deception of this position and keep the audience in a passive position forever. The theory of "scene scheduling" allows the audience to "freely choose their own interpretation of things and events" out of consideration for the psychological truth of the audience. This theory has influenced a whole generation.
