Avatar

I have no idea the psychic behind the man James Cameron, when he made the movie Avatar. What was he thinking? Making a techno flick, Blast the public with 3D effects or to give a wake up call?

I went to the movie with a one minded idea of getting entertained and came out dazed. Most of my friends had a disgruntled expressions. They called it an average movie that hasn't stood for being a 3D movie, nothing made a dash for them and sent them squealing in their chairs after all. A small group of my "other" friends shared with me their thoughts that seemed to echo mine.

Here was a great movie that tried its level best to infuse into people the importance of nature, Of the invisible delicate threads that hold us all in one embracing gesture. You break one to make more space for yourself, the balance is lost, letting free all the threads and the entire structure goes for a toss.

Cameron has definately tried his best to keep the matter light and also entertain the public. If nothing, the Oscars speak loud the general public opinion. Somehow between all the debates, the issue that the movie seemed to address was lost.

Ofcourse a lot in the movie is a exaggeration our world in a more tangible form. Like mother nature's form centralized in Eywa, The idea that nature bears memories in the form the network. A lot of tribal people have a similar bearings like the people of Pandora. They worship mother Earth and regularly thank her. Fight for her and die for her.

This article has been due for long. Its just that I could not place the feeling that the movie evoked in me. Sadness, yes. Sadness for mother Earth, Sadness coz Earthlings have lost that love for her, that mystic connection with her, appreciation of the wonder that she is, thankful for all the wants and needs that she has given us. I wish I were in Pandora a blue creature, Na'vi and stand in shoulder with my brothers and sisters who loved her in a like manner rather than be an Earthling and fight against my people to protect her.
