Hollywood and European Filmmaking - Fusion of Elements: Part 2

James Cameroon definitely described the authorship of the Titanic. As far as the film "Exorcist" is concerned, William Friedkin is very faithful to the novel of William Peter Brady, but shows amazing director skills, just like his own story. In either case, although the original author's creative ability cannot be underestimated, the director's vision ultimately makes the film a reality. In essence, they are directors' films. Sergio Leon's film "Good, Bad, Ugly" theme. There is nothing in common with the "exorcist" of the "Exorcist". But there are obvious similarities between the two directors. Passion for visualization.

Looking forward to an aesthetic element in "historical terror". It may sound unreasonable, but Friedkin did show his direction of using subliminal images in the "exorcist", despite these criticisms [Video Watchdog Magazine, July/August 1991]. Thirty-six years ago, due to technical limitations, there was no other way to produce the expected dramatic movements like "flashing." No. Friedkin relies more on creating a specific atmosphere and imaginative sound editing than on special effects. This is once again reminiscent of Leone's view of the wide-angle lens and the close-up lens. His attention to visual effects "has not only had a great impact on his own career, but also has a great impact on the entire Western genre" [filmstew .com]. His aesthetic appeal became more apparent from the background scores extracted from the energetic camera works of Ennio Morricone and Tonini Delli Colli. No wonder, good, bad and ugly is called "the best director film ever" by Tarantino himself [filmstew.com].

Judging from the handling of the Titanic, James Cameron's technical and aesthetic abilities cannot be compared with the works of the pulp novel, Leon or Tarantino. Despite this, the sentimentality of his films still has universal appeal and cannot overcome geographical and linguistic barriers. From this perspective, Cameron definitely does more than Leone and Tarantino. Such comparisons may sound unfair, but at least, it effectively refutes the notion of prejudice that European films are better than Hollywood [Mark Le Fanu] in terms of "art courage." The atmosphere and atmosphere that Cameron built in the Titanic. Produced the same fantastic state that Friedkin's imagination did. James Cameron, his full contribution to the Titanic, as a writer, director, co-producer and co-editor, they live up to the word "auteur".
