Wonder Woman Director Responds To James Cameron. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins responds to James Cameron’s criticism of the film. Earlier today, a sizable portion of the internet went into a collective uproar concerning said comments made by Cameron, arguably one of the most famous directors in the world today. Cameron took issue with what he saw as “back- patting” by Hollywood over Wonder Woman’s status as a strong female hero, arguing that Diana was still an “objectified icon.”On one hand, Cameron himself has a noted track record when it comes to creating strong female heroes. Cameron’s Terminator 2 saw Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) evolve from the scared survivor she was for most of the original film into the gun- toting, muscled- up badass that – at least temporarily – succeeded in stopping judgment day from occurring as scheduled. Cameron also directed Aliens, which saw Sigourney Weaver give an Academy- award nominated performance as another survivor turned badass hero, Ellen Ripley. On the other hand, many found Cameron’s negative comments unfair, unprovoked, and a bit self- serving, especially considering that Wonder Woman was itself directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins.

Whether one found themselves agreeing with Cameron’s views or not, there was little doubt that Jenkins would eventually respond to what he said, as she’s shown herself to be very protective of Wonder Woman both as a character and as a film. Included below is her full reply to Cameron, posted on her Twitter account. As one can see above, Jenkins clearly disagrees with Cameron in a profound way, believing his comments were suggesting that the only worthwhile strong female heroine is one that has sustained emotional damage and has a hard time expressing feelings of affection to others.

The movie's only messages are warnings: Basically, don't do anything the way these people do. Women are objectified. Cast, crew, credits, plot summary, and related movie data.

She’s certainly not the first person to interpret Cameron’s comments that way, although one presumes he would contest that viewpoint of what he said. One wonders whether Jenkins’ strongly worded yet mostly civil response to Cameron will lead him to engage in further public dialogue with her, and perhaps clarify his own prior remarks on the subject.

Here's Why James Cameron Isn't Totally Impressed With Wonder Woman. UPDATE: Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins is responding to James Cameron's critique of the film."James Cameron's inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman. Strong women are great," she wrote on Twitter.

His praise of my film Monster, and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was so appreciated. But if women have to always be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren't free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven't come very far have we."She continued, "I believe women can and should be EVERYTHING just like male lead characters should be.

There is no right and wrong kind of powerful woman. And the massive female audience who made the film a hit it is, can surely choose and judge their own icons of progress." ———James Cameron may not be the biggest cheerleader for Wonder Woman in the Hollywood community. While the big- screen project earned rave reviews from critics and impressive box office ticket sales across the country, one Hollywood director has a different take on the love and appreciation surrounding the film."All of the self- congratulatory back- patting Hollywood's been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided. She's an objectified icon, and it's just male Hollywood doing the same old thing," James shared with The Guardian.

I'm not saying I didn't like the movie but, to me, it's a step backwards."He continued, "Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit.

And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female!".
