James Cameron on Terminator's True Meaning, the Film's Origins and More | On Directing 

Are you looking forward to Terminator: Dark Fate?

To be honest Ray Harryhausen's effects are still pretty good today. The skeleton battle (children of the hydra's teeth) in Jason and the Argonauts remains absolutely amazing to my eyes.

The making of the first Terminator is incredible story in itself, they shot the movie without permits to the places in guerrilla style, Cameron just prepped by himself studying and then pretty much just making a movie. Brilliant choices made like they looked for certain kinda streets to shot, because there was at the time used these certain kinda lamps that made the blueish hue to the many of the shots. Tons of little details like that which makes the movie creditable with it's budget and so the little they had could be mostly used for the couple big set-pieces. Just the casting of Arnold was so smart choice even tho it wasn't a thing to cast someone with such heavy accent to any movie (still really isn't).

Cameron is definitely a MASTER director. 💯💯💯 His movies are like magic 🪄

2:00, 4:33 This is why "Terminator" is the most relevant movie franchise. It has to be!

Greatest Action Director.

Best Director ...

He's subtly flirting with the host. Masterful

Jim Cameron's not only talented & cool, He's funny.

He’s not the creator of the terminator

Don't get me wrong, I loved Terminator, Aliens, Terminator 2, pretty much all of Cameron's oeuvre, but I wish he'd just admit that his inspiration for Terminator was from reading X-Men comics. He lifted the idea from the 'Days of Future Past' (Uncanny X-Men 141-142) storyline then even lifted the concept of living metal being frozen by liquid nitrogen (Uncanny X-Men 177). He's got talent, I just wish he'd admit that he was just following the old adage 'talent borrows, genius steals.'

THE MOST BEATIFUL AND ROMANTIC FILM OF CAMERON, IS TITANIC....

James Cameron should marry the woman interviewing him , they've got the same noses

What falls?!

I guess we dont talk about Harlan Ellison anymore, do we Jimmy 🤣

Is this before he got skinny and started wearing Fox shirts?

Jimmy was in his bulk phase.

terminator wasnt a dream , you copied from yul bryners android in its movie westworld 1973 and many other things......

2:25 maybe if you listen , james , used some of that instinct , you wouldn't have made that so called " Ava tar " in the first place . And maybe then you would've made some real movies

Harlan Ellison??? He needs his credit for Terminator as well it was his idea .

The true meaning of Terminator, which I stole from someone else.

Cameron is not a writer he stole Terminator and needs writers to help him with every movie

short version: he stole it from Harlan Ellison.

I am one of those people who always complain and criticise. So now I have to say I loved this interview! The interviewer was phenomenal, what an interesting, smart and agreeable woman. Watch and learn people!

Such an unassuming guy. And a true visionary and creative genius. There are not many on his level in Hollywood.

you make Canada proud so gifted

What a brilliant interviewer !

I wish somebody would ask him why True Lies and the abyss or not on Blu-ray

James Cameron has a striking facial similarity to David Cameron.

My favourite director - he hasn’t made one shit film yet 😍

Really looking forward to Terminator: Dark Fate.

Im super Excited for the dark fate i got my tshirt and poster of them

79th VIEWS... WTF

True meaning, give me a break. He stole this concept from Harlan Ellison who wrote The Outer Limits episodes "Soldier" and "Demon With a Glass Hand" of which Terminator is ripped off from.

what about Sophia Stewart ? is it a fraud?

we were suspeded from school warrior mentality fighting for respect -while they get rich .... gamblers ...Imagine getting high while living in the JETS- they say "get by" but in reality you BUY TO GET! I thought of an invention. A 10-20 POUND coushioned football for training puposes. but had a revelation...after payig the electric, water, and morgage bills. i cannot afford a patent ...just another wasted idea. THE MOVIE alita battle angel has the term "hunter warriors" for bounties..but, youtube esaie prince FROG&TOAD!! i coined the term 10 years ago.for real HUNTER WARRIORS BUT that movie just missed 1billion

He is Rightist or Leftist?
