So, James Cameron wants to reinvent filmmaking, forcing us to forget every film that has ever been made...

Ugh.

James Cameron's Next Plan To Reinvent Cinema

What he's failing to understand is that everyone who has ever seen a movie has learned the visual language of film. Zooms, pans, dollies, close-ups, edits, music, score...all of these elements are subconsciously learned and understood by everyone. The element of frame rate has been learned, too. Films are shot at 24 frames per second. Things shot on video, like the news or your crappy home movie you made on your Hi-8 Handycam, are 30 frames per second. There is a noticeable difference. Open up the Settings menu on your HD TV. Turn on "motion smoothing" or "120 Hz." Put on a movie. See how awful that looks? Yeah. James Cameron.

I suppose being "innovative" on a technical level is a way to compensate for being "a complete rip-off" on a creative level.
