Many consider film making today as an engrossing way of making money, and of course, loads of fame. Big stars, bigger names, biggest budgets ever, and an enormous amount of fame associated with the same. However, that is not really true.
What people truly and really do through film making is expressing their inner thoughts and feelings. Cameron expresses imagination, Nolan expresses some amazing ideas and thinking, Tarantino expresses style and creativity. If you try and think of it, the known film makers of the world always have some common element in all their films. That is the simplest and the most basic proof of what film making is all about: an expression of the character of a person.
