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?
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.🤦
@@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.
*i could listen to this great filmaker all day*
14:10 Charlie Rose: "you are the king", to which Cameron smiled and replied "you had to go there"

Doubting James Cameron while saying not to doubt James Cameron

dawg, he loves this interview 09:19. nothing is received as mockery😄
Superb .....a filmmaker of his caliber rarely opens about the fundamentals of story telling
Ummmm, avatar is basically dances with wolves set in space.

I love his natural inteligence...
Living legend !
Hes a highly intelligent man isnt he?
0:47 James Cameron is really appreciative of it!
A true Polymath!
0:42 That little movie is the Biggest Movie of all TIME !! Avater 2 is the highest gloss film of all time!
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.
Wow, that bit about energy transfer in love blew my mind. Kudos to a great master
This was great! Amazing to hear how people talked about the movie even back thenm
Absolutely brilliant film
Maker & beautiful human being.
Thank you for this!
James Cameron's intelligence is extremely impressive.
Thanks for posting this!!
1:57 This also applies for Avatar 2 as well!
0:36 That's a good introduction and well said !!
"It's alright, it's good, it's like a good singles tennis match" -JC
I'm a straight guy but James gives me chills.
The best content always have a political, social message...
Political, social messaging movies from 2016 to 2022: are you sure about that?

Come to think of it, the term "I see you" goes all the way back from Jack Dawson era, @ around the 0:50 min mark of the movie
Kia ora, I'm of Māori descent and I can confirm Jim's hypothesis. We are in fact tough bastards. Mauriora!
Is the interviewer even paying attention to James. I can tell from the sound of page flipping in the background that he might not be listening
Of course not. Television interviews are very structured and artificial with pre-determined questions.
Think this is where Cameron let it slip that Rose dies at the end of "Titanic".
i could listen to jim all day..whoever this interviewer is needs to let jim actually talk.
Interviewer is good in all aspects but one thing, at several points he disrupts him mid sentences....
14:49 "you want ppl to wake up".
Well we didn't.... And now we see consequences.
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.
Anywhere in the interview in which he talks about the color correction in the film?
It’s in the same section where he talks about craft services
5:49 James Cameron cracking up here 😂
good
1:26 Women Empowerment !!
one of the most evil movies created
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.

Just watched the re-release and it's aged very well
Here’s your narrow mind compromised itself.

Avatar is overrated as F***K!!!!!!!!!.
It is quite pretentious and ridiculous to say his movie is in the same ball park as 2001, it is not even close
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.
