Most filmmakers evolve and change as they get older. Things they found exciting or challenging in their youth don’t affect them in the same way. And sometimes they remember his films, even some that are considered i the best action movies ever made – and wants to make changes. Steven Spielberg, for example, traded guns in the hands of special agents at his family reception. And the alien on walkie-talkies. It may seem strange, but it is your prerogative. Similar emotions went into the changes made by James Cameron Avatar: the path of wateras he now explains since the film is in theaters.
James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel is do exceptionally well at the global box office and is expected to cross the $1 billion mark soon. And now Cameron is talking about his filming process. He spoke to 24 News Bulletin about it the next chapter in his Avatar saga and movies you’ve seen in a post-Avatars world he thought at the height of its use of 3D . And in a recent interview with Middle Eastern squire , Cameron revealed that he cut scenes of gun violence from his sequel because he didn’t want to fetishize the use of guns. As Cameron explained:
I actually cut about 10 minutes out of the film by focusing on the shooting action. I wanted to get rid of some of the ugliness, find a balance between light and dark. You have to have a conflict, of course. The violence and the action are the same, depending on how you look at it. It’s every action filmmaker’s dilemma, and I’m known as an action director.
It goes without saying that we are in a very different culture when it comes to gun violence. So it’s interesting to see an established action director like James Cameron change tack and even go so far as to say he probably wouldn’t make two of the films that launched his career and made him one of the most famous of our time. Of course, any list of Ranking of James Cameron films should include Titanic Yes aliens. They are classics of the genre. But the terminator The franchise has made Cameron who he is, later telling Esquire Middle East:
I think back to some films I’ve made, and I don’t know if I want to make this film now. I don’t know if I’d like to fetishize the gun, like I did in some Terminator movies over 30 years ago, in our world today. What’s happening with guns in our society makes my stomach turn.
It would be unusual for a storyteller like James Cameron not to evolve his thought process and keep making the same movie over and over, no matter the time. It’s been 13 years Avatars and its new sequel, Avatar: the path of water, and the world has changed. The audience has also changed. Cameron can talk about the technical changes that are now within his reach such as improve old movies like the abyss . But he, as a storyteller, also has different messages that he wants to convey to his crowds. And in Cameron’s case, he chooses to minimize the use of weapons.
The audience reacts. Avatar: the path of water benefit from a new score of 92% with the public inside rotten tomatoes , and as we said, it’s taking over the box office. Getting to $2 billion could be tough. But the film is already well received, and avatars 3 seems like a no-brainer after the reaction to this new sequel.
