[edit] Pronounciation of his name

Is it necessary to put in the 'proper' pronounciation of Gondry? Would an English-native assume his name is pronounced any other way? Cause this way, it seemds rather strange. I'll change it, if I am mistaken, please undo my changes.--Soetermans 20:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I actually just came here to find out how to pronounce "Michel." --jivy 01:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

ditto on "michel" xx little anna 18:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Incase anyone is still wondering, it's like the English "Michelle". Pele Merengue 11:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube

I removed the lines describing his rubick's cube trick on youtube. It doesn't seem significant enough to warrant mention, given that it took up as much space as the description of one of his feature films. It also gave the impression that he was trying to convince people it was real, when, being Gondry, the real question was "How is he fooling us?" If people think that his youtube account is worth mentioning then do so, but it isnt worth discussing a single 2 minute youtube video on the biography of a famous director. 121.44.137.244 09:19, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we should not bother mentioning the video itself and linking it, but there SHOULD be a mention of his Youtube account so people can subscribe to him in case he puts more stuff out. So link to that and delete the other links to his seperate Youtube videos.Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/partizangondry The13thzen 20:19, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

It shouldn't be the WP:LEAD section, anyway. Just64helpin 21:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trademarks

I think there should be a list here of Gondry's technique's trademark features. I think these would be: surrealism; crude, theatre-like scenery; puppets; morphing objects and environments; multiplication of objects; subreality (TV\book\dream) merging with prime reality; shaky camera, one-shot; musicological rendention of song.
