Thanks, I wasn't sure about this one...Hi Chris! Thanks, I wasn't sure about this one: I thought it was uneven on the writing side, and a bit erratic. <br /><br />For Cameron, I'm not sure, but I think he's aware of what he's doing, for the most part: his movies form a coherent vision, about technology mainly, but also on smaller themes like the American family, the woman-fighter or the love-conquers-all aspect. <br /><br />And you mentionned Scott in an earlier comment, but I don't know him that well, and I'm still quite surprised that he didn't like CGI: someone like Spielberg resisted to editing on computer (before Tintin, all his movies were edited with scissors and glue), or Nolan insists for shooting on film, but CGI is everywhere now, especially in action movies. It must have been pretty difficult to keep CGI out of his movies.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comment!Sylvain L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06595178160544184217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882815174745926563.post-2987422894657173612013-07-03T05:32:03.200-04:002013-07-03T05:32:03.200-04:00Really enjoyed this one - I have have often though...Really enjoyed this one - I have have often thought about Cameron's movies and his thematics. Sometimes I think he isn't aware of what he's representing - sometimes I think he's playing me somehow... :)<br /><br />Have you looked into the suicide of director Tony Scott? Although no reason for his death has ever been given, I have often wondered about his pathological hatred of CGI in films and his passion for avoiding it (something I greatly respected). We'll probably never know the dimensions of this sad event, but I cannot help but wonder...<br /><br />All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
