[edit] Remove IMDB Link?
The IMDB link might be removed as the only thing listed there is a dedication to Bazin from 400 Blows. There's nothing about Bazin as an actor/director/etc. --Jeremy Butler 12:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed some names
I removed Robert Bresson, Luis Buñuel, Marcel Carné, Jean Cocteau, Henri Langlois, Luchino Visconti and Jean Renoir because they were not New Wave directors (Langlois was not even a director at all) and so do not fit in that sentence. They might be used elsewhere in the articles, however. --Jeremy Butler 13:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Corrected age?
If the dates of his birth and death are, in fact, correct, he was 40 and not 39 when he died, so I changed the next paragraph. If the dates aren't correct, could someone make the correction? It should be consistent in both places. --Jmcnally 02:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added Visual Effects
Added visual effects to the list of Bazin's "dislikes". Perhaps "compositing" would be a better word. For example, Bazin's admiration for the balloon in Le Ballon Rouge is admiration for a visual effect - but Bazin enjoys the effect insofar as it was produced "on location" or "in front of the camera", (so to speak), rather than through any subsequent manipulation of the image (eg. through compositing). So it is not visual effects per se, but the manner in which they are made, ie. "after the fact", that attracts Bazin's criticism.
[edit] External Links: findarticles.com?
To me, findarticles.com contains "objectionable amounts of advertising", which puts the links to it in conflict with Wikipedia:External links. --Jeremy Butler 11:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
