Le documentaire "Be Natural" de Pamela B Green, porte les gimmicks de son époque. Sensationnalisme, montage sur-cutés, silences impossibles. On a parfois l’impression que cette enquête policière manque de chair.

Le documentaire "Be Natural" de Pamela B Green, porte les gimmicks de son époque. Sensationnalisme, montage sur-cutés, silences impossibles.effets spéciaux hasardeux qui tombent à plat, la musique contribue à la dimension tape à l’œil du documentaire.Au contraire, les images des films d’Alice Guy se font trop rares, trop segmentées. Le documentaire porte finalement plus sur la documentaliste que sur Alice Guy.
Dans sa quête, la documentariste Pamela B. Green, cumule les sources. Images d’archive, photographies, entretiens et quelques effets spéciaux parfois hasardeux. Si le montage initial est plaisant parce qu’il détourne l’esthétique de l’époque avec les moyens technologiques d’aujourd’hui, il arrive que l’effet tombe à plat. La faute à quelques transitions dignes des plus belles présentations Prezi. La musique contribue à la dimension tape à l’œil du documentaire.

Alice Guy Blache has the reputation of being the first woman to produce photoplays in her own studio, being the head of the Solax Film Company, one of the first of the group of independent film companies, and one of the very first to produce features in multiple reels. To this day the Solax production of "Fra Diavolo" has not been surpassed despite that the public response was such as to induce many similar efforts. Madame Blache has contributed a number of articles to maga- zines, the subject being the film producer's obligation to the public — these have always been extremely frank and have attracted wide comment in the industry.

I do not known how bad I might have been for example, had I not had the advantage of the wonderful experience of having Mme. Alice Blaché as my directress. Olga Petrova 1915
Still somewhat sceptical
The director, in my own humble opinion, is the god upon whose altar the moving picture actor should lay his wreaths of verbal laurels.
I do not known how bad I might have been for example, had I not had the advantage of the wonderful experience of having Mme. Alice Blaché as my directress.
I am jealous of a drama as an art, so I personally dislike the pseudo drama of the photograplay. Still it cannot be denied that it brought a cheap and clean form of amusement within reach of the tired working girl, not to mention the tired business man.
Perhaps, moving pictures, like olives and Ibsen are an acquired taste. Possibly some day I shall find myself in the middle of the sixth row shrieking in hysterics at the elevation of Mr. Charlie Chaplin’s lelf eyebrow, or applauding the skin from my palms over Mr. Francis X. Bushan’s heroic struggles.
