en lisant des articles pour la préparation de mon mémoire, je suis tombée sur ce texte. Je suis sûre que c'est très intéressant (évidemment ça parle de Verne et de Méliès !!

" But one must notice the difference in tone between Méliès's film and later examples of the genre. "Science" fiction implies a certain sobriety and serious concern with scientific and technological possibility. This is certainly true of Jules Verne's novels, which Méliès claimed as his sources for the film. Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon offer detailed discussions of theories of propulsion, orbits, and gravity (even if the portrayal of the Gun Club engineers who debate the moon launch takes a satiric tone). But Méliès cannot take his scientists seriously at all, introducing them first as wizards with pointy hats, figures out of fairy pantomimes (which often introduced contemporary figures or events in order to mock them).
