Take a look at what Cameron did on The Abyss: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/trivia https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/trivia > Ed Harris reportedly punched James Cameron in the face after he kept filming while he was nearly drowning.

The movie industry has a long history of callously risking its own workers lives. It’s gotten somewhat better than in the 1930s, but clearly there is more work to do.

If I were an actor in danger and the camera man stopped filming I would be rather annoyed unless the rescue effort was assisted by stopping filming.

  Do you really think you can put yourself in the headspace if an actor who narrowly escaped death from drowning?

    I didn't say that he should have reacted that way, I was merely saying that I feel that I would react that way. I would not have wanted my suffering and fear to have been wasted.

The actors started to call the movie "The Abuse" while filming it. James Cameron almost died himself on another occasion. He lost his air while submerged and the guy supposed to check on him didn't do his job correctly. There's a great documentary on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k43KHV1fDU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k43KHV1fDU

Cameron is well known as an absolute piece of shit. He brags about it, and loves his reputation.

  I'm surprised he's still around. My father worked with this guy everyone hated. Even as a kid, I heard about this guy. This guy, and my father (who was a piece of work himself) were on the huge building in San Francisco. They were working late. My dad said it was eery because they were so high up, it was under construction, and they where facing the bay. The quietness was the eery part. It was just the two of them. My father. suddenly had this urge to push the guy. The guy was standing a few inches from the edge. My father said the urge became so strong he told the guy he needed to go to the outhouse.
