      Most promoted crap forget about it. The ship is an inanimate object does not resemble any human body part it is called an it. A simple storyline about A-bomb trying to get into 1st class is not a love story. She is the spirit and 1st flesh the creator and the Creature. The ocean can be called she. And then his film attracted all the sexiest people I could find were a stupid door debate. He was a bum who gave up and was arrogantly sure that he would not die to. Still mothers are retainingly murdered and ruby's unnecessary. Gay men beat up women set them on fire. Animation no afore or debate. This movie and the propaganda around it needs to be forgotten

    good interview but the 2nd most important person of the movie besides Cameron is not mentioned. James Horner. Imagine Titanic without this epic music. James Horner was crucial for that movie like nothing else. His music is a masterpiece of its own. Much more important than any actor. It creates the emotions and fits perfectly to the movie. James Horner stays in the shadow but he is an immense part of the movie and he is not acknowledged enough...

      Imagine “Titanic” without the fictitious and nauseating characters of Jack, Rose, and Cal. The main reason for those characters and the actors who portrayed them, was to capture the lucrative teen to early twenties market. That demographic could have cared less about Titanic’s story, hence Cameron’s ridiculous inclusion of “star crossed” lovers. It appears many of those teens viewed the film more than once. The redeeming quality of the film was the stunning recreations of some of the interior, although green screens and CGI were also utilized. And not to forget the magnificent costumes! The Oscar for best screenplay slipped through his fingers; a result of the Jack and Rose imaginary silliness, and the superb screenplay of “Good Will Hunting” which captured the screenplay Oscar. There is no doubt Jim has added to our knowledge of the Titanic with his explorations of the ship before filming, and others in the years after the film’s premiere. I applaud him for those efforts. But Jack and Rose should have been pushed overboard in the first hour of the film. 😂

    "Titanic" truly was James Camerons vision and film. He not only did the normal duties of a director to an amazing level, which is difficult in itself, but unlike most directors, even the GREAT ones, this guy WROTE THAT SCRIPT, which is incredible. I also cant stress enough that this isnt "The Terminator", or any film where if you mess things up, it doesnt really matter. This was Titanic, one of the biggest stories of the 20th century, and one, atleast in my opinion, that meant so much to people that you really couldnt afford to F it up. He didnt. Infact he BROUGHT you there that night.
    "Titanic" is a cinematic classic, and if its on TV, I never turn the channel.

    I like how James Cameron didn’t go to film school or anything like that he just figured it out and he made some of the most memorable films of his time. I mean terminator and titanic everyone knows them films and a director can only hope to make one film that is that successful and he has made multiple movies that are massively successful.

He was committed to fully fleshed out characters which cannot be easy to do. He wrote beautifully and elegantly for his female characters, especially. He's a brilliant artist and I respect his stance on the tragic Titan submersible disaster. He made over twelve submersible dives himself and he knew what he was talking about.

He kept asking every few years until he was told they had the tech to do it, so he made it. The man is brilliant.

      If James Cameron really wanted to be able say those things, he has the experience, the personality and the background to get them said regardless of what some interviewer might try to do. He agreed to the interview, and he knows what they are like. And whatever the case, people always love to vilify the interviewer in interviews with dearly loved megastars like this - it's part of the fun it it for them. But because of that, they will look for any excuse to do so and thus the resulting criticism of the interviewer really doesn't mean much of any great import.

    "T1 & T2", "Aliens", "True Lies", "Titanic", "Avatar/Avatar Series" - for these movies cinema was invented for. A big audience worldwide wants to watch films like these.
    James Cameron is interested in many things. And when he is interested, he wants to know everything. He wants to learn constantly. This is great kind of intelligence.
    So he knows more and more and learns a lot. This is the whole trick. Cameron is able to do a lot of things. He is gifted, talented. He has the will to work very hard. He is a genius. But of course he always needs a great team and people that know their business.
    The story of "Titanic" has been told many times. It's a big tragedy, a true story. Everybody knows, how the "Titanic" story ends. 1'500 people died.
    The love story that James Cameron wrote is fiction. But this story is very great and touches the hearts of people around the world. Cameron just has the feeling how to write and create stories that the audience likes to see.
    Going down to the wreck of Titanic is another big story.
