With the nearly US $300 million in the first four days after its release, Avatar, which cost about US $200 million to make, has now won another title: Most Successful Movie of 2009. Hollywood director James Cameron once again draws people's attention.  James Cameron was born in August, 1954 in Canada. His artist mother encouraged him to draw and paint when he was a child. She helped arrange an exhibition of his paintings in a local gallery when he was still in his teens. Inspired by the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, he began to experiment with 16 mm film, photographing model spaceships he had built. The Cameron family moved to California when he was 17 and Cameron was admitted to Fullerton College, where he was not interested in what he learned. Uncertain of his direction in life, torn between art and science, he dropped out of college. He became a truck driver. After the film Star Wars reawakened his love of film making, he quit his job and taught himself the technology of film making.  He borrowed money from friends to make a short film he showed to director Roger Corman. Corman gave Cameron a chance to work as a model builder and production designer on his horror films. After two years with Corman, Cameron directed his first film, but it almost turned into his last. The producer of Piranha: The Spawning fired him, saying that the film Cameron had shot was unusable. In 1984, Cameron directed the film that was to change his life, The Terminator. With the international success of The Terminator, Cameron won the director's chair for Aliens in 1986 and went on to direct The Abyss (1989), Terminator2: Judgment Day (1991) and three years later, True Lies. Like Avatar, Titanic is a love story. Many people predicted the film would be a failure when Cameron began to make Titanic in 1997. Cameron proved them wrong when Titanic broke box office records all over the world and swept the Academy Awards, winning an unprecedented 11 Oscars.  Avatar, a science fiction film, based on a script Cameron wrote in 1994, is the first big budget action film shot in 3D, using revolutionary camera technology Cameron developed himself. The technologies used in Avatar are expected to become a part of mainstream film making in five years.
