The Xiangtan City, Hunan Province is the birthplace of Chairman. On Sep. 6, the local government announced that they would invest 500 million yuan to shoot a flim about Chairman Mao. OMG! Spending 500 million yuan to make a film? Besides, they said that James Cameron would be invited to make this film using 3D technology. And a Chinese famous director will be invited to cooperate with James Cameron. Why can we just let a Chinese director to make this film? Is it good to invite a foreigner who knows little about China history to make a Chinese movie?

GUEST83162	Maybe they feel that this way the movie won't be as biased. Besides, Cameron brings in a load of experience. To keep the movie's authenticity, they will add a Chinese director, as you noted. Also, how do you know that Cameron is a foreigner who knows little about China history? Look, China today invites many foreigners, in many fields, to contribute. Why not in movies?

Also, how do you know that Cameron is a foreigner who knows little about China history? How do you know he knows much about China History? I guess Cameron will decline to direct such a movie.
