" I don't look at scripts, I just write them"
The world has had its share of great leaders; leaders like Julius Caesar, George Washington and Nelson Mandela. Its has also had it fair share of geniuses, like Albert Einstein, Beethoven and Leonardo Da Vinci.
When one truly thinks of a leader and a genius in Hollywood there are lots of names that can get thrown around, but no one is admired and respected as much as James Cameron.
James Cameron is without a doubt one of the or thee greatest Directors and Screenwriters in cinema history, and Cameron's films prove that very statement.
1984 was the year the cinema world would change forever, and definitely for the better. It was the year audiences got to witness the birth of "The Terminator" and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger was not a really big action star have only done the film "Conan The Barbarian" in 1982, but James Cameron would say that when Schwarzenegger first came onto the set of
"The Terminator" he knew Schwarzenegger was a star, and Cameron showed the world why, and to never forget it.
Twenty eight years have gone bye since Cameron's vision of "The Terminator" was released unto the world, and in all that time we have seen some of the greatest films ever. Here are some of Cameron's great films:
"Terminator 2, Judgement Day, The Abyss, Aliens, True Lies, and last but not least Cameron's two unforgettable films, the two highest grossing films of all time Avatar and Titanic.
Now as most of everyone knows, James Cameron has decided to release "Titanic" in theaters again, but this time in 3D. Now I know what your all thinking!, "Why would Cameron put Titanic in 3D? It's insane "is the studio house looking to make extra money?"
I do have the answers to all the questions you are asking, but I thought maybe Mr. Cameron could tell you himself, in an interview he gave in late 2011 about his reasons to do Titanic's 3D movie.
Now if your questions were not answered, take my advice and just go see this exquisite masterpiece and let your mind at ease cause I have no doubt in my mind James Cameron knows what he is doing, and you should be doubt free also."Converting a film to 3D is not a magic wand. You have to create everything when there’s no 3D information from that original moment of photography"
I know a bunch of people who have asked a question most people in the world have had on there mind to. "How does a studio hand over two hundred million dollars over to someone who's idea might fail?"
the answer to that question is rather easy... "it's James Cameron" plain and simple. You know that when Cameron has a vision in his head to make what he calls "an epic masterpiece" you just give him what resources that are required to let the dream become reality. Having James Cameron's name one a film is like having the words "Made in the U.S.A" being put on the most reliable products, you know it won't fail you, and it's reliable to last forever, and Titanic did just that having a budget of two hundred million dollars, getting a record gross at the time of 1.8 billion dollars world wide. If that was not enough how about Titanic winning 11 academy awards, being the second of three films in cinema history to do so, William Wyler's "Ben-Hur" was first in 1959, James Cameron "Titanic" in 1997, then Peter Jackson, "The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King" in 2003.
Almost ten years later James Cameron was ready for another one of his visions to be revealed onto the world again, a vision of outstanding excellence and an unforgettable adventure... AVATAR.
Avatar will go down as one of the greatest films ever made, and it will now become a leading example to how a certain type of films should be made, and by certain films I mean 3D films.
In September of 2011 Cameron spoke his mind with the move on 3D, and wither it will be successful or if it will fall. Cameron would say "Good 3D that's done well in an integrated way and is an enhancement will make a film money." Cameron would finish by saying the following about great 3D films that succeeded "Like Alice In Wonderland and the new Transformers, the 3D was done well on that, it was deep and integrated into the shot design."
I would like to leave you with my final word by saying that I truly believe that Hollywood and the rest of the world is lucky to have James Cameron. There is no other Director in history who has aspired to work from the bottom to go as far as the stars. Cameron is a perfect example to the world cause he is not only a great humanitarian and shows extraordinary humbleness in his success. Cameron has said how thankful he is to all those who have stood behind him threw his remarkable efforts to make his films happen. Cameron shows that you don't need to win an Oscar every year in order to be remembered, instead you just work very hard without giving up and to always believe in yourself, cause if you don't believe in yourself then how do you expect anyone else to?
I can say on a personnel level that I admire Cameron for everything he does. I only hope that in the future I can be as great of person as he is, and to be a remarkable director that others will look up to. Thanks James, your films will always inspire me to never give up on my dreams.
