I don't care what anyone says about Avatar or how much they bash Titanic, this man is one of the great visionary directors of the 20th century. Absolute genius and an incredible storyteller.

@skywalkerhunter95 6 років тому

Daniel King my friend used to bash titanic. then he saw the behind the scene features. changed his view like instantly😂😂😂😂😂

@darknessnaxxion 5 років тому

@DrVonJay 5 років тому

I don't see enough outraged people to seriously dignify the claim of a horrible James Cameron film. I definitely see it with The Last Jedi. But all Avatar and Titanic haters are too small in number to make me sit back and question my love for his movies.

@brianbierlein4747 5 років тому

I hate Titanic as a story. I love everything about the ship itself though. I wish he had concentrated more on that aspect instead of focusing on two completely unlikable characters since I didn't really care what happened to either one of them. However, it was directed brilliantly and it's a beautiful movie to look at. But I still don't like it as a film. I love everything else he's made though and he's one of my favorite directors.

He was actually pretty smart in the movie "I'm not a tech guy so I don't know how it works". So he didn't have to explain it.

Yeah, love or hate his movies but you got to give props to the man that he stops at nothing to fulfill his larger than life vision crafting all corners of the frame with a keen and astute eye that shows on screen.

As Arnold said in an interview. There is two James Camerons. One before film shooting, and the one on set. Cameron is very passionate on set, he wants things to be done the right way, and he does not care how he gets the shot, as long as he gets it. But when he is not making a film he is the most humble kind man, just a guy loving to have a good time, tell jokes and live life.

I tend to just resolve the John Connor paradox by thinking that in the way that events first happened John had a different father, possibly the douche who stood Sarah up in T1. When John sent Reese back and T1 happened the original John wasn't concieved and John #2, Kyle's son, is the John we see in T2-Salvation.

@mnArqal93 6 років тому

Time-travel is a headache of a topic to debate because it gets so confusing. This is the argument I've had with people in the past, because they cannot understand (or accept) at one point the John Connor we know would never had existed until say someone went back. The timeline in the original film was most likely not the original timeline, James Cameron basically just said what I say is several events occurred before leading to the story we know today. The funny thing is Skynet might not have been the problem at the start, that's how strange time-travel can get!!!

If they do attempt to fix what they caused have it spin off into a sequel by ending the first movie in a cliffhanger.
