“A dream I had in college…”
That’s a nice roundabout way of saying it came from an acid trip. Lol
Nice catch
This was exactly my thoughts
😂
😂😂
watched the movie on acid in 4dx, first time forgetting I was watching a movie. felt like I put on vr glasses and got thrusted into another world. walked outside afterwards at 1am it was slightly raining and covered in fog. best cinema experience ever.
Now it became everybody‘s dream
Not really

This film series changed my life. Lots of love from Scotland 🏴 we are blue too!💙
Moan eh scotland
I used to have a team - a marketing team, I named us "Ephraim Highlander" here in Indonesia.
I took the inspiration from the tv series "The Highlander" back in 90s with Adrian Paul as the star.
The philosophy was that I would not give up until I managed to build a team & lead them.
"You never surrender. If you get killed, you will live again - unless you get beheaded. It's the time for you to die (to resign)."
And turned on the CD player from Queen's Prince of the Universe' whenever I could.
From 2001-2015.
I learned a lot to interact with people.
✨
Same here and I’m Scottish we are blue people 🏴💙
Nahh we are this 🇬🇧
I'm blue ba ba de bu boo ba da, doo ba de ba du ba blue ba do be du ba da.
He forgot to mention Govinda ! 😉
How can he !
🤣🤣🤣
Wtf 💀😭
When Cameron was in College Govinda did not exist 😂
lol imagine him auditioning for this movie
The fact that he's wearing a fox t-shirt tells me he's a mountain biker
i though fox was dirt bike gear
@@tyler93539 dirt bike and mountain bike
I mean he does love nature so it would be understandable.
Lol James Cameron has done more extreme sports in his life than most people know of. This guy isn't just a movie director. First man to take a sub to the bottom of the mariana trench 7 miles underwater
He always wears that
it's so beautiful man, we're blessed to be living in the timeline where he got to literally realize his dream
He had a lucid dream.
Like McCartney when he wrote "Yesterday"
And Robbie Williams when he wrote "Better Man."
It's what human beings can do - if we want to really listen & see within.
We have many capabilities & potencies we hardly know about ourselves.
Those who learn about it, and then apply it; they're really excel in life.
✨
James Cameron is a master of story telling and cinema. Also seems like a very down to earth guy.
Avatar is a sanskrit word which means "descent" and different forms mainly pronounced as "avatara". And I don't understand what kind of dream he is talking about and plus he forgot to mention that Indian actor name Govinda who suggested him that name "Avatar"
Pocohantas as well somewhere 😅
This man is a genius and a visionary
So a dream made one of the greatest film ever. Powerful
things dreams can do
He forgot to mention Govinda
One of my personal world building projects is an alien world. It’s heavily inspired by the amazing work of James Cameron!
Yeah “dream” of a bioluminescent forest when I was in college, let’s call it that 😜😉🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🌿🌿🌿
Govinda gave him tittle!! No mention oh my god so bad!!! Didn't expect this from James!!
He forgot to mention the Vietnam Colony DVD he stumbled upon in the 90s (iykyk)
Lee Harris actually mentions that they knew this was a download about avatar
This story is really similar to how i got my own idea for a movie i made. I saw Avatar 2 yesterday. I enjoyed it a lot
Love you James Cameron..continue ignoring the haters👇🏽
He’s a genius
Actually, he was given a book by Arnold Swcharzenegger by Semyon Bek (arnies old strength coach) who said he had astral travelled as a child to many different worlds and as a very old man was persuaded to write an account of his experiences. One of those worlds is EXTREMELY close to avatar
yea Jim is fulla shit tbh I don't believe a lot of what he says and he's always contradicting in interviews. trying to make himself sound cool whenever possible
Yes,just saw avatar...it was awsomme!
Did you ever offer a role to govinda in avataar, he was saying so,
god he is naturally gifted creature with extreme curiosity.
Thats a nice way of saying he got inspired by Dances with Wolves 😂
James Cameron gets a lot of movies from dreams! (Terminator also came from a dream)
Creativity is everything 🇨🇦🙌
absolutely fascinating.
Ok I'm starting to wonder if this was a real place mainly because I remember dreaming about a bioluminescent place too as a kid thought it was my imagination however these could be memories of a past life for all we know the fact he dreamt about it makes me wonder if this might've been a real place I mean what if we were dreaming of how Atlantis was and we have no idea why we're dreaming about it lol he was smart to turn it into a story and movie though 😂 💯 he should've named it something else though mainly cuz there was ALREADY an avatar I'm surprised Nickelodeon didn't try and sue him for using the name avatar lol 😂
James actually beat Nickolodeon to it in terms of copyrighting the name Avatar. That’s why the show is named Avatar: The Last Airbender instead of just Avatar.
Beautiful movies.
I'm definitely sure that he's a genius of movie world
Hey you forget To give credit to GOVINDA
Answer: Govinda
😂
?
Amazing
It was not his dream. He forgot that he had read C.S. Lewis "Out of the Silent Planet"
1. Planet's Flora in pink / purple colours.
2. Local race that is moraly unspoiled.
3. Tall slim creatures like Sorns
4. Main character forced by evil people to decieve local race.
5. The Eywa = Eldil
Mad respect for James Cameron 😎🫡
What if.. as ludicrous as it sounds.. Aliens projected Jim Cameron to make this movie so that we as a specie gets slowly accustomed to the idea of Aliens and as well as living with them. Because one day they’ll just pop up and be like “Hello! We’re your new neighbors!”.
As cool as that sounds (and who knows, it could very well be the case…), I think that’s missing the point of the movie. It’s deeply spiritual and it’s a wake up call that we as a race have forgotten how to live in peace and harmony with our own world. We’ve isolated ourselves and forgotten how connected we are to a greater consciousness.
@@Babytronians Exactly the message, beautifully said!
Nah avatar is basically explaining how us carbon based beings used to be before Christopher columbus “aka” the invaders took over our homeland called Atlantis. We are multi dimensional beings trapped in a matrix.
Maybe I should use dreams like this too
He had a dream and made greatness
all time blockbuster director 🫡
Legend
Wish I could see that first sketch come directly from his dream.
also dances with Wolves and fern gully films
That's how alot of my ideas take place..wake up and write it down
NOT TRUE!Govinda from bollywood gave him the idea 😂
wow 🤩 Amazing 🙏, 👍
The avatar idea is from "Old Man's War" , a Novel by John Scalzi.
Dream or mushrooms?
Also you need to mention inspiration from India , from which the Tittle name & the major concept has been taken from.
sir you are want to come our Krishnagiri district Sir because here having more natural mountain and natural resources. I will give support you sir when you are coming to Krishnagiri district Sir.
🤣indian idiot
Thank you very much for your reply.☺️☺️☺️
Well colombus and can be an inspiration for this
Avatar characters have similarities to hindu god Shiva and goddess Kaali. Also, they remind me of a combination of tribal people.
Yeah also the name AVATAR from Sanskrit
In reality these gods are dark, all are dravidian gods but north indians portrait them as blue 🤣
😂😂😂kuch nai ho sakta tum logo k 😂😂Abe wo dark the Nila kabse ho gaya 😂😂😂 market ki picture dekh k bol rahe ho kya...aur koi Nila rang k hai wo tumhare god se inspired ho gaya 😂😂Abe tum log jabardasti k kahe apan gand utha lete ho aur koi mar deta hai to chilane lagte ho 😂😂😂
@@punisher2_18 Abe sale Jo movie hai AVTAR k full form janao sale ek dam se gadhe ho kya
@@ETWT360 yeh log sabhi discovery Aur invasion mai bhi apni mythology ko ghusate hain 🤣
What’s with the annoying captions, he was speaking very clearly I understood every word
Maybe, because not everyone have hearing ability as great as yours eh?
James can’t remember watching Princess Mononoke? 🧐
I want to talk directly with you sir
Maybe he saw into a different dimension
It’s not a dream. It’s a reality for most today. And a lot us forever
He watched Pocahontas and thought, hey I can rip this off for my overrated tech demos I'm calling a movie.
All lies, we all know Govinda (a Bollywood actor) gave him the idea 😂
No, the inspiration came from Avatar the last airbender
Some Indians thinks that avatar inspired from stanatan drama 🤣
Indians are so funny
They're always in mythologies
That's why no one take'em seriously
Bruh the director himself mentioned it in an interview about this.

@@r.shreyas9680 czcams.com/users/shortsEh-RHtzAo7k?feature=share
According to them fantastic 4 was real
Indians think that? James himself explained in an interview how he drew inspiration from Hinduism. Because he has great deal of knowledge about it. The word Avatar is a Sanskrit word, taken from Hinduism, which means, incarnation. There’s also a mention of the word Amrita in Avatar 2, the fluid extracted from Tulkun which keeps you young forever. Amrita also is a Sanskrit word used in Hinduism, meaning “Elixir of immortality”. It’s what Hindu gods took to keep themselves young and beautiful and immortal. This elixir was extracted from the deep sea, by the greedy demon gods.
The gods in Hinduism are all blue in tone, same as the avatars in the movie. There’s a lot more references in the movie, I don’t want to divulge.
Je suis d’accord avec Cyranno le premier album de Shreez était un peu meilleur que le nouveau
Pocahontas, he got the idea after watching Pocahontas.
and Fern Gully haha
Govinda......
And then I saw Pocahontas and Fern Gully, and new exactly what kind of film I wanted to make 🎥
Terminator came in a dream too.
I’m blue da ba dee da ba da
no credit to the indigenous who clearly inspired the navi lmaoo
He watched dances with wolves once.
He watched FernGully and Dances with Wolves on acid and had the native win.
Indian Actor Govinda gave him title Avatar but he didn't mentioned So that no one else gets the credit for it.
Mate probably watched fern gully before that dream
But people insist on calling it pocahontas. Such nerve
My favorite director James Cameron ❤❤❤ by #timeridersujith
🕉️🕉️🕉️
“Well I was watching Ferngully one day and…”
There are messages and themes in the movie that you missed if that is the conclusion you drew I believe
@@peaceinpresence5538 I believe it was meant to be a light-hearted joke.
A dream
Alguém pode me dizer a tradução oque ele fala por favor
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron.
James Cameron does What James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron!
Wow
Imagine if that night he didn't have any dream
And.... Avatar name and concept from Hinduism
Wrong
@@PrinceJes idiot Avatar It's a Hindu Word.. James Cameron admitted this
@@aniel_ani wrong false. Avatar has many meanings. The movie doesn't explain Hinduism and has no Hindu inspiration
@@PrinceJes Brother Hindus believe that everything is connected with Brahman...( Trinity of Hindus)
Brahma , Vishnu , Shiva
Navi believe everything is connected to eywa.. Only our Supreme God Vishnu takes incarnation. Only Hindus worship trees. .. Hinduism based on reincarnation concept.... Something similar shown in this movie ..
@@aniel_ani there are many avatars in the movie, you are mistaken already
I like Avatar but it's Pocahontas in space.
This is more about how James Cameron got the idea for Pandora.
Yo Jim, you forgot mentioning Walt Disney's "Pocahontas" which you totally copied into a sci fi Film.
James kameroon said avtar is derived from Hindu scripture
The word " AVTAR" itself is a Hindi word
Sanskrit word ha vo
I am laughing at my Indian friends who are saying that this is a movie inspired by our Indian God's.
Well the reason for my laughter was that I did not know that Robots was also there in our history. Everything is connected, so it is not right to take credit by associating the hard work of others with your religion. We Indians keep on pointing towards others all our life and we ourselves are trapped there.
I just know that anything can be written on the edge of a sword
Well the word avatar is literally a Sanskrit word
Avatar is a sankrit word if you dont believe google it
When u dont see his interview
The concept of blue skin comes from the hindu gods of old. It is why the smurfs are blue and it is why the navi are blue. Avatar means "incarnation".
I would say it is more inspired by indigenous people and thier culture.
And Indians say that it was inspired by hindu mythologies 🤣🤣🤣
Bruh Cameron himself said it in an interview. czcams.com/video/m7iHpnPqbLo/video.html
Asshole he said in his avatar 1. Meaning of avatar is Sanskrit word and . In avatar 2 there is Amrita they take it from big animal. So many thing concept he has taken .
Govinda*
I got it 😂
And you know, every indigenous culture
it was actually a past life memory. these aliens actually real
Aliens vs Na'vi please
follow your dreams
👏
Hope this gets forwarded to james cameron somehow😂
I can see this man possibly able to one day be richer then Elon Musk
Its about arcturians
People need to stop bashing his Avatar films and the creator himself, because this is getting overboard as they didn’t understand and pay attention to Avatar, same thing to the Terminator duology and Aliens they praise the heck out them. All they see it as just a generic environmental film, a “ripoff” of Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, Ferngully, The Last Samurai, and The Lorax and The Smurfs (even though they’ve come out 2-3 years after Avatar) and a preachy cash grab, and nothing more to it. All they wanted was just a campy monster movie with humans killing aliens, and that’s it.
As per Indian Actor Govinda he had given you this idea regarding Avtar and he predicted that it will become a superhit
