The Innovators 1950-1960: Divining the real

I found this article to be quite interesting!  The part I was most interested in was Bazin's belief that the movie camera is science, and yet it "testifies to the miracle of God's creation".  This almost contradiction intrigued me, especially since today the video camera is seen neither as a tool of religion or of science, but that of art.  Also, Bazin's insight on "the mummy complex" shows that he was very observant and picked up on an intriguing idea.  Humans posses "an innate human need to halt the ceaseless flow of time" that has been around since the first cave painting, and has lead to not only the invention of art, but of photography and video as well.
