To me, James Cameron is like a combination of Kubrick and Spielberg. Like Kubrick, all of Cameron's films are masterpieces on a technical and visual level, as there's not one film of his where you're not blown way by what you see on screen. Cameron is also uncompromising and a perfectionist, which leads to long shoots and going over budget, something Kubrick was infamous for. But, like Spielberg, Cameron knows how to make his films accessible to a wide audience, and knows how give his films an emotional core to keep the average moviegoer invested. I love Stanley Kubrick, he's one of my favourite directors, but let's face it: his films have computers where their hearts should be. Cameron doesn't have that problem. That's why Cameron is my all time favourite director, because he can make intelligent, complex, well-shot and gorgeous-looking films, but you can still sit back with your popcorn and be entertained by them.
My all time favorite filmmaker and love the collaboration between him and Rodriguez because Alita is now my all time favorite movie, waited for it for almost as long since Cameron announced it. Never imagined I would love it so much as I did never seen a movie more times in a theater.
I always loved or enjoyed all his movies he has ever made.
Yeah, Cameron has the heart of an artist with the mind of an engineer. He must be the only filmmaker that can break down a camera and tell you what each pieces are for, what purpose they have and how they work. Because that's what he did as an autodidact tp learn filmmaking, he went to a library to nab books about photography, bought a camera and broke it down pieces by pieces to understand how it works then reassembled it to shoot his first short.
He built and patented his own 3D camera with Vince Pace, also customized cameras for underwater expeditions.
very well said.
James Cameron is one of the greatest, most inspirational people that ever lived. This is the man who gave us Terminator 1 & 2 and Aliens for God's sake!
Thanks for the comment and for watching. :) #BTA237 Shine
southlondon86 he also made the top grossing film of all time ... twice
Michael Gonsalves Ahh but I can't say I enjoyed those as much as I enjoyed his earlier work. Somehow when people are younger and hungrier for success they produce their best work. Most of the time anyway.
southlondon86 I agree completely, I would watch Aliens or over Avatar any day personally, but it still mind boggling how he made two of the top grossing films ever.
southlondon86 what about true lies?
1. Failure is an option, but fear is not--Right!!! Fear is the mother of all character defects
He is a legend and great filmmaker 😊
Thanks for the comment and for watching Manas. :) #BelieveNation #BTA355 Shine
True
What a legend. Here's a man who dragged himself up and did it the hard way, his way with amazing results. The story about him living of two for one cheese burgers in his car is brilliant. He's another great visual director who can always draw very well like Ridley. I never had the dedication to succeed in life or in films.
Does he have an autobiography out?
Wish he'd get a hold of the ALIEN franchise and make loads of them as the Alien world is massive.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching Andrew. I don't know if he has an autobiography out. :) #BelieveNation #BTA406 Shine
Andrew Watt Rebecca Keegan wrote a biography about him called The Futurist.
He’s my idol and my role model! His life story and success is one to always be admired and respected. He went from being a machinist, a janitor, and truck driver to being called a legendary director for making just seven movie. I CAN’T WAIT for the Avatar sequels! Combined with his two documentaries, he will have made 13 total films. For him, 13 will be his lucky number!
Awesome, thank you for sharing your thoughts. 😊 #Believe - Feb
@Evan Carmichael: Of course, no problem, glad to. Even before I became a huge fan of his, his movies always fascinated me, especially Terminator, Terminator 2, Titanic, Avatar, etc. How do you think he compares with other directors like Spielberg, Scorsese, Kubrick etc. ?
seize the moment , this guy is a Legend I can't wait for Avatar 2
Thanks for the comment and for watching Josue. :) #BTA332 Shine
He's a perfectionist, you will be waiting a long time. Cameron does no film quickly.
He's filming 2,3 and 4 at the same time with the same production value as the first, just a genius
As a filmmaker, I'm always find my insparation in his work.
#Believe :) #BTA1518 Veljko
"Value your past experiences". Thanks for the daily value, Evan!
Glad it's helpful to you :) #BTA776 Luka
Great words fo wisdom by successful film director James Cameron. excellent video.
Glad you like it :) #BTA770 Luka
thanks you
For me the images rarely appear in my dreams, but frequently in that moment right before falling asleep where your mind is running wild, half dreaming half awake. It's crazy how vivid some of those images are, years later.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. #Believe - Feb
Number 1 was my favourite. He is right that others will put limitations on you so you can't afford to do it yourself too. Brilliant man.
+jense lee Yeah, great message. :) Thanks for watching. #BTA45 Ivan
James Cameron can't be emulated. His life, what he does, how he does it, his drive and passion for everything he does can't be taught. What he has, what he is, what he does, is deep within him. He is an inspiration. Like a preacher or psychiatrist, his narrative, his delivery is uplifting. If an individual applies what he's saying, they can be lifted to their own higher level. But it's hard work. 24/7. That's what makes him Him. How many people are willing to do that?
Thank you for watching, and for sharing your thoughts 😊 #Believe - Feb ( from Evan's team )
Very true! Being Indian, I'm able to understand his passion and drive for excellence, moving past obstacles. Great 10 tips for success! No doubt, I watch Titanic even today!
What has your being Indian got to do with anything you wrote?
Many thanks from a huge Cameron connoisseur.

Glad you enjoyed it :) #BTA994 Luka
#2 "paint your dreams for real" & #5 "value past experiences" it's SO easy to discount the things you've been through or the things you see in your mind's eye as irrelevant to your progress or whatever goal you're striving toward. But these 2 points really magnify the idea that EVERYTHING matters and can MEAN something if you take a moment and truly view it! Loved it! #myfield #BTA31 (also loved the banner info at the bottom! I learned SO much!😉)

The last comment meant the most to me. To paraphrase: consistently persist in striving towards your goals so that when those fleeting moments of opportunity appear, you're ready for them.
+Douglas Weir Be ready always #Believe :). #BTA40 Nina
Love him
Thanks for watching! :) #BTA1080 Luka
Terrific film maker. Loved Avatar & Terminator 1 & 2. While as an enviromentalist I love what he does. At 80 I've seen 98% of insects 90% of birds 80% of animals & fish destroyed with all wild places either destroyed or damaged to a greater or lesser degree. On a modest pension I support 7 wild life/environmental groups plus Amnesty. 'F'lora & Fauna International' is my favourite but 'Bug Life' for insects is very important as are the others. The greatest Film ever made is 'La Strada' by Fellini. I'd like you to do a piece on Fellini. I have one terrific script if James were interested.
😊 #Believe - Feb (from Evan’s team)
Evan, how about tackling THOMAS MOORE (Author of CARE OF SOUL) and his TOP TEN RULES FOR SUCCESS? Once again, thank you and keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for your suggestion but it would be great if you could post your request under this video: ua-cam.com/video/0arZb0xLIDM/v-deo.html If more people would vote or like your request and there are available videos/clips for it, we might do a Top 10 rules video for it.

I am his fan and nice to hear directly from him, how top notch creative mind works. Thanks. #BTA59
+Paul Chan cool :). #BTA44 Nina
Dropped out of community college.
Worked three years as a truck driver.
Made his first film financed by dentists seeking a tax write-off.
Lived in his car while writing the Terminator script.
Sold the script for $1 under the condition he could direct.
Now has three Oscars, two of the highest grossing films of all time, and a net worth of $700 million.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Indeed #Believe :) #BTA1560 Veljko
Waiting for next movie
Thanks for sharing, Ravi. :) #BTA1080 Luka
Loved all of it but summarized in the last bit which I paraphrase as "take your chances". If an opportunity comes up, take it as a sign. Opportunities are usually risky, don't be scared! I'm always doing cool stuff and I really do feel like these signs are real - I believe God is always helping me - but people who don't like the idea of God can still feel this universe somehow leading them. Another fantastic video Evan, I don't know how you find the time to research and edit all these videos! Thank you, your videos keep inspiring me!
+Khalid Safir Thanks for sharing.. Team and Evan put a lot of efforts in them.. :) Hope you enjoy the top 10s :). #BTA40 Nina

HAHA the "tall hot blue girl" was in his dreams. f*cking inspired.
Thanks for the comment and for watching. #BTA322 Shine
This sounded silly to me when I first heard it years ago but it's actually a gold nugget. It's not about feeling good or satisfaction or anything...it's literally a way of being that he constitutes himself as - as a choice - constantly.
the problem I have about drawing my dreams is that my dreams are so fucking stupid.
@@graviler2514 even if they are stupid just do it
I love James Cameron
Thanks for sharing the love and for watching. 😊💛 #Believe - Feb
3.) Just do it!
Yes...just take action. :) Thanks for watching! #BTA436 Shine
James Cameron in my eyes is the best director of all time. I just which he would make some dc superhero movies so that dc can come up. Him and Zack Snyder together would be unstoppable.
