James Cameron's Avatar Q&A

The only director to make two 1 billion dollar Hollywood movies back to back with original scripts and not some adaptation of previous IP. Both of those movies have garnered multiple Academy Awards nominations and wins including best picture and director. Forever grateful for your originality in movies. Thank you, James Cameron!!

[@zenituragaming5043]

Originality? Lmao

[@Sabundy]

@@zenituragaming5043 original as in not an adaptation of a preexisting IP. Nothing is truly original as nothing exists in a vacuum. Everything.... literally EVERYTHING is inspired by, influenced by, and takes from various sources. There is nothing you could name that you couldn't identify what influenced it and what it isn't cribbing various elements from. And that goes for movies and music. The only original part is how you can take all those various influences and elements and combine them together to make something that is at least fresh or not what has been seen before. As in that combination of elements has not been seen before. Thus so long as something isn't directly adapting a preexisting IP then it is "original" regardless of how obvious it's influences may be.

[@tonysnflfootball6741]

@@zenituragaming5043 I think what he meant is that both movies were not sequels. If you look at the top 40 highest box offices, the movies that were not sequels or without book adaption (or with original idea unlike Marvel) are Joker and the Lion King (1994). So to have two original movies in top 3 box office is nothing but a legendary achievement. The Lion King made about a billion in 1994, and Titanic made 2.2 billions in 1997, that's like 3.6 billions in 2021, and Avatar was about 3.4 billions today. Endgame was nowhere close to these movies at box office.

James literally made his dream come true. Humble, super-talented, confident- A legend!!

[@RelaxantMusicTV]

You might want to google some youtube channels. James reputation on set is more like a screaming director with lots of takes on the Titanic for example. He makes great movies just like Stanley Kubrick but if you read the bios or watch the docs, he is far from humble, he is ruthless on set with tons of takes unlike say Clint Eastwood few takes or Quentin Tarantino who have a great reputation of fun on the sets which is why you see actors and loyal crew loving to work for them. Tough guys like Arnold and x-wives who can put up with Hollywood BS (like Harvey Weinstein) can deal the abusive hard work with Alford Hitchcock. Read some books - Oliver Stone is not an easy director either tormenting his actors for better performance... google how he got Michael Douglas 's Wall Street famous Greed speech by getting into his head saying it sucked until he nailed it and got an Academy Award. My point is Directors have done nasty things to get a performance out of a lazy or dumb actor, myself included. You do what it takes to get the shot... humble on set - no way. Humble on camera promoting his movie - yes. Don't confuse the two - just like the Johnny Depp vs Amber Turd trial.

[@emilyinnetherlands5295]

Thanks for this time stamp

[@nonyobusiness4686]

I seen the question, why does it still resonate? I watched Avatar in IMAX at the age of nine, and at the time I was such a geek for fantasy, other wordly things and this movie taught me of bioluminesence. This movie sparked my wonder for art and writing, and when the movie was re-released [deleted scenes edition] I counted down the years till the second movie when rumors told of a second. If it wasn't for this movie I wouldn't be as empathetic as I was, it wouldn't have sparked my love for both art and writing but most of all, it made me love my culture more as a Native American. Yes, at the age of 8 and up I had already been taught the genocide of both my people and culture and this movie had made me feel recognized and seen, thats another thing that made me love it more was feeling recognized inside a movie that subtly showed the unjust of many cultures in one. So, I salute you, James Cameron for this amazing film and the many more to come! Thank you for making a wonderful piece which sparked my dreams and passions.

Got a lot of respect for Cameron regarding his first answer and motivations around connection to nature, injustice at colonialism and what indigenous peoples have suffered, and what we are doing to the natural world. Incredibly needed imo. I also remain convinced that part of the reason why there was blowback against the film by some was that, subconsciously or consciously, they didn't like these points and criticisms that Cameron was making. And for that reason I think it's all the more important that films like this are being made. I can't wait for the sequel this year.

[@chubbybunny6975]

Indigenous people in real life are nothing like the movies.

Haven't you ever noticed that every story, every movie, you've ever seen with an environmental message was created by white people like James Cameron? Meanwhile, indigenous people's most notable accomplishment was wiping out Ice Age megafauna, including the horse.

Totally LSD

Gotta say, I love the hardware that Cameron envisions (with his team) in his movies. So I'm looking forward to seeing that being shown off.

[@liamnoah6648]

I LOVE YOU JAMES CAMERON !! I am confident that your legacy will be relieved by my children.

[@justayoutuber1906]

To think a guy that was a truck driver and never went to film school turns out Abyss, Terminator(s), Titanic, Avatar(s). This guy is so impressive: smart, talented, real.

[@AT-yg4nk]

T2 was my favorite movie as a kid. Titanic completely and totally blew me away and is one of my all time favs. Aliens is so damn cool, and stylish and just badass. Avatar was my first real IMAX 3D experience and I was never the same afterward! Avatar 2 is the most gorgeous visual technical blockbuster movie I have ever seen. This man is responsible for giving me the greatest entertainment experiences with film. I thank you James Cameron. You are a genius and a legend, and the world is a better place with you in it. Thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

In my opinion When the screenwriter is the director You get pure vision and the original soul of the story

[@midhunbaiju7912]

10 years or more there is always a special place for this marvellous movie ...I can't count my self the time I watched avatar...I love the forest I love the animals and I love the movie...

[@rhonnot.8047]

My favorite director..He has a good imagination..

[@alicjadabrowska312]

THANK YOU JAMES CAMERON FOR YOUR IMAGINATION AND BEAUTIFUL WIRK AND HEART🥰🥰🥰

[@GlobalGioReacts]

Avatar is one of the best movies of all time & my personal favorite . It’s not overhyped at all and hopefully takes back the highest grossing movie title after the September re-release 🤘🏽

[@sebbysebbseb]

This was a good video. James Cameron seems like a smart bloke. and he actually answers questions well and in depth. I have seen other Q&A's and you certainly don't feel satisfied with the answers.

[@patbateman9187]

The most curious thing about a genius is that he/she talks as if it were simple, like some random person explaining how to turn on a computer. Humbleness and passion in his/her speaking also very easy to spot.

[@pavlodarhimeraz]

This is my favorite director, I love all his films, some more and some less, but I still love it and rewatch it every year! Many directors make films based on books, games or comics, but Cameron takes all his films out of his head, I'm very happy for Jim, looking forward to part 3, good luck to you and your team, it's a pity that Horner did not live up to this moment, his soundtracks are in my heart forever !

[@lunagamings9874]

Amazing 👏. Can't wait for avatar 2 and the video game!

[@melissahuber7601]

As much as I loathed waiting,I’m glad I got to watch the first movie,I’m so in love with it.I hope I live long enough to see the others and am not disappointed .James Cameron do your best and take my breath away!!!!

[@charannazre3403]

Waiting for.,.. Avatar 2 trailer 🔥💯💯

[@josicx2507]

Me tooooo😭🙏🏼

[@Viltektr]

James, has my heart and soul, never felt this understood or alive when watching avatar, true legend and a true LIVING not only existing human.

[@MikeB12800]

He dreamt up Avatar, he dreamt up the Terminator!! He needs to invent a camera that can film all his dreams!!!!

[@planetdisco4821]

Elon Musk should hook him up to Neuralink. The studios would save millions…

[@UjerekreGoodnews]

​@@planetdisco4821yeah rather than putting chip in people's 🧠

[@minkyokim3090]

As a university student who is learning about being in the media industry and all that, this is really inspiring and I truly admire of how he is really comitted to his ideas, his passion even back in the 90's where it was pretty much impossible to make films at that level. The whole 30m just flew by. Honestly feel like listening to a lecture that really talks to you and makes you think. Thank you James. Can't wait to see the next films.

[@Nebolah]

He said it straight! 3D done right! Yes, this was my total feeling. I love that he made it real 3D.

[@brendanmoran7415]

I’m astounded by his answer to the last question and what he had to say about connectedness, belonging, and the movie working on people’s subconscious. Dude knew exactly what he was doing. I also like that he adds “spirit guide” in reference to Neytiri this is her archetype for sure. She really does represent something spiritual and her archetype is a very profound one that’s been around for a loooooong time - and for good reason.

[@Maximusbyronus]

Did they catch Jim Cameron right after his motocross race?!!

[@ΘΕΟΔΩΡΟΣΡΑΜΜΟΣ]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a fox racing video, but the I realized it was avatar :)

[@Thros1]

Clearly

[@terrencegunther]

Subtle nod to studio he's tied with: 20th Century Fox 😂

[@planetdisco4821]

Bwahaha! That’s literally what I thought too!

[@Take12music]

must have. they shot it in 720p

[@franconero585]

What an amazing movie! I'm SO LOOKING FORWARD for the sequels! Thank You James Cameron! Greetings from Romania!

[@b0nesX580]

Please raise the bar again Mr Cameron, it has gone far too low

[@adityasanthosh702]

No , you need to watch the movies of the right people. Example Denis Villuneuve

[@abhinavheya6289]

He won't disappoint

[@nikoxiro]

Amazing guy, watch all his films again and again....never failed !

[@Veldtian1]

I love how James endured the grueling production of 'The Abyss' and then goes "yes' let's do that x10 when the actors involved in the former are still traumatized lol! James is an utter *machine* .
