Research of Bazin's Realism and Mechanical Automatism of Camera

Bazin's theory of ontological realism is his way to get at cinema's unique definition, so distinct from traditional verbal notions of realism. Bazin insists that cinema has to be defined apart from the other arts, for cinema process a very specific and intrinsic link with living reality: cinema is defined primordially as a 'recording', a 'mechanical recording' of this reality. But Bazin's theory regularly contradicts the standard notion of recording. Camera frees reality from so-called stage mechanics and achieves the identification of reality or the things of reality with image it self. That is 'image-fait' called by Bazin for cinematic image. Camera frees therefore cinema itself from photographic reproduction. Contrary to the standard critical line, which from Mitry to Jean-Louis Comolli has rejected the 'surplus of realism', Bazin's realism is found on identification of image and reality.
