Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic,the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success,James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012,James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench,known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film,named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenge 3-D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films,such as Avatar and The Abyss,the unexplored areas are
decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep,the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean,nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured (获取)the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenge 3-D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination,danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
