James Cameron

James Cameron appears in 129.如何成为真正的不完美主义者,浑身是劲儿! as a source-scoped example for separating excellence from Perfectionism As Avoidance. The episode cites him as someone others call a perfectionist, while his own framing is closer to doing what is correct, finishing the work, and moving on.

The page should not generalize from this one mention into a full account of Cameron’s filmmaking method. In this wiki branch, his role is narrower: he helps the episode argue that high standards can coexist with Imperfect Action Practice when they do not prevent completion.
