Tintin and I

Tintin and I French Tintin et moi is a 2003 documentary by Anders Hgsbro stergaard, about Belgian writerartist Georges Remi, better known as Herg, and his creation Tintin. The film is a coproduction of Denmark, Belgium, France, and Switzerland.

The underlying theme of the film is the way that Hergs private life affected his work for example, Bianca Castafiore is a subconscious or perhaps conscious reflection of Georges first wife, Germaine, and the way that Captain Haddock responds to her reflects the way Georges often felt towards his wife. Specifically, the mothering instinct that Germaine had toward him is shown most explicitly in The Castafiore Emerald. The subject of religion is also discussed, including Georges gradual disillusioned view of the Catholic church, and the opposition he came up against due to Wolffs sacrifice in Explorers on the Moon. The influence of Chang on Georges work is also highlighted, using reconstructed footage and actual archive footage of their meeting in 1934.Technically, the film employed a choice of graphic effects to reanimate video footage of Herg speaking, to match up with the audio being played from the interviews conducted with Sadoul. Panels from the albums were also animated to allow movement through them, the plane crash from Tintin in Tibet and the Shanghai street scene from The Blue Lotus both being used in such a manner. Interviews are reconstructed using actors, but the viewer never sees their faces hands and arms are used, holding the albums, flicking through them, drinking tea and the like. ........
