The lonely life of the auteur

PAINTING: "Man pulling his Beard" (Rasputin)

sjb,

Yes, the ego of the "King of the World" is massive enough to generate it's own gravitational field and Cameron is short-tempered with those who don't keep up with his vision, but that is the lonely path of the auteur- those lucky creators of personal universes, for example, Newton and Wagner, didn't rely on others creatively (and probably didn't any friends either). In the end, whose judgment can geniuses trust other than their own?

And as it seems that Cameron aspires to the highest possible level of movie-making, he apparently acts on the axiom that great art was never made by a committee- with which I completely agree.

Cheers,

Bambi B
