the avatar entry

I watched this movie with Beb three times. The first two in the usual THX movie house. The third one in 3D-IMAX because I wanted to know how it would feel in 3D = )

The last two films I watched more than once in the cinema were The Last Samurai and The School of Rock. Both film, though in totally different genre, were seminal influences.

The Last Samurai for its depiction of the strength of Asian women. School of Rock for the film's ability to use Jack Black as a unique and effective device to transmit the writer's passion about rock n' roll and embed it in the audience.

And the reason why I watched Avatar three times is simply for the fact that the film is a different experience.

Good story-telling. Solid story. Technical excellence.

But my subliminal thing on this is when you try to dissect what the film means. What was the story teller trying to tell? To share?

All films are out there not only to entertain but, more cautiously, to inform and more dangerously to educate.

Aside from that fact, work of arts are reflection of the people's realities. And the reality that we see and share are first and foremost the reality of our hearts. We see what's in our hearts.

Why would the concept of Avatar exist? It is easy to say that the older generation do not get it and I understand where that comes from because I used to say that too = ) But why want a new life? Is the current life that we have really such a bad thing? Boring? That we want something else? Experience something else? How is life supposed to be ba? That we do not like what we have? Is it pointless? A mere transaction?

Does the whole universe exists to satisfy us? Our cravings? Desires?

This is funny for me because in an another hat that I wear, we call this dynamic logic or emotion bubble = ) One has to know and understand first the logic or emotion bubble of a client before one can effectively intervened.

Avatar and the virtual worlds. Present names and present expressions of a concept and longings as old as time = )

"... why think like mere men?"
