Hay pocos posts comentando entrevistas por el foro de cine asi que empecemos uno! que opinais de la respuesta de James Cameron.
Did you have a chance to see District 9 or Transformers?
District 9, yeah. Well you know, I did this film called Alien Nation. I sort of ghost wrote it. It was produced by my wife at the time, Gail Hurd. And District 9 obviously borrowed pretty heavily from the ideas of Alien Nation.. but then goes much farther – and almost in the way Avatar does.. You come into the film with one perspective of the aliens.. They’re hostile, and they’re kind of in our way, and we gotta deal with them and get them out of the way. And then you end up very sympathetic towards them at the end. And in a way, it’s a real triumph, because the aliens are so unsympathetic looking. They really did go pretty far in making them alien. Truly alien to us. Where the emotional affect is missing completely.. It’s almost the opposite choice that I made on Avatar.. I didn’t feel I was doing truly a science fiction film, I think of it more as a fantasy, science fiction fantasy, kind of located halfway between fantasy and science fiction. And for me, it was important that my so-called alien people be completely relatable, because they’re my main characters. Your not having a continues human viewpoint to interpret them through. You go live with them and you essentially become one of them, and they have to make sense to you emotionally. So that was a choice that was made very early on. Notice how I keep relating this back to avatar.
