Avatar..

i've actually started this quite some time ago just that i was too lazy to complete it and now i guess it's time i do so and freaking post it.

i guess many people might say they really liked Avatar, but what are the reasons behind this liking?

graphics? cg? well.. personally, not much credit except for the lovely eye colour that mr and mrs bluey had.

storyline? not exactly much of a storyline, in my opinion so as to speak.

the handsome 'dude' or the pretty 'lass'? enough said.

please don't be mistaken. i REALLY liked the movie if that's what you're thinking. i personally gave the movie 5 stars!

what exactly made me so generous? definitely none of the above reasons.

this movie actually portrays and depicts current issues faced by the modern society in many parts of the world, especially first world countries. first of all, i might just like to think that Mr James Cameron might be a little morbid. why so? well.. i'll just like to think that the main character actually depicts himself living in this world. he's crippled. and that actually symbolises what i feel that he feels the world is doing to him, crippling, or rather, crippled him. i think he feels that this world is hopeless, or rather is not giving him any signs of hope, thus 'cripple'.

going further, you see that he loved being in his avatar; walking, running and being able to do all kinds of things which he might had never been able to do if he were to be in his human body. the plot comes to a point where he even decided to remain in his avatar, thus giving up being a human and 'betraying' his own race and finding a source of 'new hope' in another life form, which in this case is, the avatar. this part might symbolise the hopelessness he feels in the human race. to augment my point, the part where the humongous bulldozers come crashing into that gigantic tree, Eywa, symbolises how humans are destroying the rainforest. as i said earlier, this movie actually portrays current issues faced by the world and this is definitely one of them. well.. simple evidence would be the constant harping from the media about 'going green', massive focus on CSR, etc.

i guess that briefly summarises what i feel about the movie. i think i can relate strongly to this movie just because i'm doing sociology. hell.. haha..

alright.. i shall stop here.

all's mambo that ends well…. :)
