距离巴赞过世不到半年以前,巴赞对威尔斯进行了第一次访谈。这篇访谈也成为增长版《奥逊·威尔斯论评》的主要参考之一。且我们合理相信巴赞透过这篇访谈以及《邪恶的接触》的发行,进一步检视他对威尔斯自1950年以来创作演进观点的重要线索。这篇访谈可以看作是四个月后第二次访谈的试探。问题多在探讨威尔斯对技术上的见解,从与电视台的合作经验、对剪辑的看法、对彩色或宽银幕的意见,乃至于对戏剧改编的甘苦与往后计划等。这次的试探性会面是一次意义深远的开端,也是因这次会面的熟悉,使第二次的会面更具探索性,甚至可以说是巴赞对自己关于威尔斯的诠释与看法的一次辩证性研究。 Bazan conducted his first interview with Wells less than six months before Bazin’s death. This interview has also become one of the major references to the growing version of the Orson Welles Review. And we reasonably believe that Barzan further examined his important clues to Wells’s views on the evolution of creation since 1950, through this interview and the release of “Evil Contacts.” This interview can be seen as a test of the second interview four months later. The questions are mostly about Wells’s technical insights, his experiences of cooperation with television stations, their views on editing, their opinions on color or widescreen screens, and even their bitterness and future plans for the adaptation of drama. This tentative meeting was a far-reaching start, but also because of the acquaintance of this meeting, the second meeting was more exploratory. It could even be said that Barzan once again expressed his own opinion about Wells Dialectical research.
