The creation of a superhit film is no rocket science, but it definitely is an execution of different activities performed with precision and attention to detail. Direction is one of the biggest parts of making a blockbuster, something with actress Kate Winslet understands all too well, considering that she has experienced the epitome of filmmaking once in her career.
Having been part of one of the most commercially successful films of all time, she knows the importance of great acting and an equally great direction that makes the secret recipe of a successful film. But along with that, there is another reason why the star cannot help but praise this director’s work after working with him a second time.
Kate Winslet Praises James Cameron For Making Some Of The Strongest Female Characters In His Films
Most popular for playing the role of Rose Dewitt Bukater in the global blockbuster Titanic, Hollywood star Kate Winslet has given a performance of her lifetime once before, and that too with none other than filmmaking legend James Cameron. This duo, along with Leonardo DiCaprio, brought us a film that created a worldwide sensation, which became the fourth highest-grossing film of all time. And almost 25 years later, Winslet returned to work with the Terminator director in Avatar: The Way Of Water, where she couldn’t help but admire Cameron’s work yet again.

In a past interview, the Revolutionary Road star talked about how she was finally back to work with the legendary director in the sequel of the film that holds the title of the most commercially successful movie of all time. Along with new and groundbreaking methods of cinematography that were employed, Winslet also praised the creation of strong female characters by Cameron, especially her on-screen character Ronal. In the interview, she said:
“His screenplays are so powerful, and always because at the heart is a strong woman. And it’s not just that that woman is emotionally strong. She’s physically strong. She’s resilient. She’s a leader. She’s capable. She’s loving. She’s welcoming. She’s kind. She’s compassionate. And Avatar is just full of female characters like that. And that’s the world I want to live in! That’s the mother I want to always be. So I was very inspired by those themes, because they really do underpin the narrative.”
Along with her character, Zoe Saldana’s character of Neytiri also presents these qualities in her, which shows just how well the character creation and development are executed by the filmmaker.
