>>Just because Bazin theorized it, don't make it necessarily so...

        unless, of course, the concept entered the discourse of film criticism
        through bazin's initiatory formulation . . . to some extent when
we
        talk about long takes and realism we are inevitably participating
in
        a game the rules of which were, willy-nilly,  laid down by bazin
himself
