I remember watching it for the first time a week and a half ago, and the sorrow was overwhelming. My Sis and I were discussing about the film after we walked out of the cinema, describing how it was beautiful and moving. After that day, my Sister had moved on, the feeling had left her, whereas for me, it was still there inside of me, my heart feeling heavier than ever... I couldn't help but watch this film again, and so I did... a few more times. The heavy hearted feeling still hasn't fully disappeared, some of it is still there inside of me, but I am coping with it much better now than earlier today. I guess this feeling of sorrow has to do with some of the things involved with the film, for example, the reviews. The reviews bug me because they all state the same thing, never mentioning the emotional experience we receive during and after the film ends. The response from the public is mostly positive, but there is no sign of, "Wow, I was moved after watching that...". It's all "The CGI was amazing, the action was cool." I don't want to hear any of that, sure, they are positive, but what about the experience Cameron intended for us... The experience was great because the visuals were stunning, but I'm talking about experiencing the movie as a whole...experiencing the joy, anger, laughter and sorrow the film presents to us. Anyway, did anybody feel anything after leaving the cinema from watching Avatar? If so, how long did this feeling last within you?

4. Assuming light speed communications is the norm, it will take at least another 10 years for an Earth expeditionary force to respond to the hostilities on Pandora. The Na’vi will need to wisely use this time to plan for any potential hostile engagement. The Na’vi will not succeed again if they plan on using bows and arrows again against a well equipped Earth marine force with a goal to take control of this skirmish. Something new will have to be brought into the game for the Na’vi to have any chance in any conflict. This timeframe also means that Jakes and Neytiri’s children will be caught up in any future engagements.
5. We know noting about the politics on Earth. Will RDA send in a private mercenary force to take control of this skirmish without keeping Earth’s Governments informed, or will Earth’s government support RDA in any retaliatory action, (looking for genes of mass destruction perhaps?) or will they get wind of the situation and send in an peace keep force to help save the day? 6. Will RDA stoop low enough and use a chemical like ‘agent orange’ or poison gasses to help regain control of the situation? Or will they try and use brute force and/or traditional divide and conquer tactics? Will the RDA scale up their AVATAR program to develop a fully fledged AVATAR tactical response strike force? I can see that James Cameron is going to have a lot of fun figuring out a plot for any future sequel to AVATAR. When we do venture out into the galaxy, we no doubt will need to have a strategy for managing indigenous cultures like the Na’vi. It is hope that future AVATAR movies will help show the way as to how this should be appropriately managed. Eywa ngahu (Eywa be with you) 2/2 |

Some people say it is unoriginal, relying only on the great CGI effects. Now, imagine a mate or comment said this, what would you response be?
