Charlie Rose is clearly mocking him in couple of places, but Jim s superb intelligence allowed him to navigate through the mockery with elegance and grace. Jim taught him a lesson.
Nah he is not at all a good interviewer. He is not letting James speak and complete before he can post his next question. He literally disrupts him. Dumb and impatient interviewer.🤦
While watching this, I checked the numbers for Avatar 2 and it just passed Infinity War, so James Cameron now has 3 of the top 5 highest grossing films in history. Crazy. I get the feeling the rest of the Avatar movies will have diminishing returns, but you know what they say, never doubt James.
Well with the news on the scripts for the rest of the franchise it only gets better from her saying that even though it didn't catch the original film and endgame it still had enough legs to get it to third place,and who knows how well the rest will do?
@@JackTorrance333 It's better than Dances With Wolves, which itself was just a ripoff of A Man Called Horse; This is not a new story trope. But none of those can compete with ripped dudes in giant mech suits and 10ft tall dragon-riding aliens that can plug into the global consciousness network using a neural queue attached to their brainstem like a fiber optic cable. Even the planet is badass, becoming the true hero of the story by defeating the invaders and saving the main characters in the end. Sorry, Avatar wins by a mile. Even so, DWW does have its merits, especially for those struggling with insomnia; 3 hours of Kevin Costner's snoozefest narration is a powerful sleep aid.
Awesome interview. I remember when the left wing and right wing hacks were bashing this movie when it came out. It was so hilarious and yet this movie put up box office number so astronomical that their opinions didn't matter. The people went to see this movie nonstop.
@@NormanReaddis i didnt mean that a movie with political message is automaticly a good movie. I mean the movies that have been amazing have had those messages in it. It can be about control, a critic of Capitalism, or other social issues we deal with. It does not mean a movie with out these messages is has to be bad.
The thing Cameron doesn’t comprehend because he’s a good guy that the biggest issue is overpopulation. Murdering billions or convincing them to engage in mass suicide isn’t a great sell or moral position. The masses appetites will not be sated.
Note that when Cameron says that "The Hurt Locker" is very good filmmaking, he starts to cough... Probably The Hurt Locker is the worst filmmaking I've ever seen in my life. The shots don't even minimally bond well with each other at times. LOL. The rest is a proof of James great intelligence.
Great interview! James Cameron is an amazing filmmaker. However, I’d say neither of the films Avatar or The Hurtlocker have aged well this past decade. Avatar being a bloated big budget white savior movie released at a time when Hollywood was done making white savior films going back to Dances with Wolves and ending with the Last Samurai (all written in the 90’s weirdly enough just like Avatar 0.0) The Hurtlocker is a movie that is still solid but is mostly discredited by the many veterans and soldiers in the US armed forces. Even when the film released people complained about the main character’s attitude and temperament. Taking off his suit during bomb disposal, and drinking alcohol in the barracks. Even disobeying orders. In real life this man would have been discharged immediately. I really don’t think you could make either of these films again today. Atleast not in the same ways. I hope James for Avatar 2 (and 3 as it goes on) has an original story to ground the movie in. Otherwise I really don’t see audiences flocking to those movies the same way as first Avatar film.
Well duh avatars story was written in the 90s. No wonder it felt 90s like story wise. James Cameron didn't have the technology back then to make this movie.
13 years later and it turns out people did flock to theaters for another Avatar film after all. Despite years of noisy doubters proclaiming nobody cares about it, James Cameron once again proves how well he understands global audiences.
Wow, what a pretentious and racist guy, apologising and intellectualising a movie which should be about civil rights and deal with left wing criticism head on. The climate crisis cannot be solved by neo colonial tropes. Period.
