Abstract

When Hollywood launches a project, the instincts involved are certainly mercenary in a way Richard Wagner had not imagined. James Cameron's name always gets top billing, blotting out even the stars: he makes them, but rarely needs them. Nonetheless, his films, more than most others, mobilize the associated efforts of the best and the brightest in the biz. They make us see and hear, populate the scenes, set and shift them, as well as mix the sounds and blend them, contributors all to a communal effort of titanic proportions.
