More on Avatar

.... well, after mentioning that i was a big paula abdul fan as a 15 or 16 year old --- and continuing that the TV show American Idol is a farcical joke -- even with Paula's presence there........ and refraining from more anglo-saxon bashing of the likes of simon cowsmell or whatever his name is from American Idol --- without any further ado.... or farther ado ----

let's look at Avatar some more ------------ first of all --- the glaringist 'it does not add up' thing about the movie is that how can the Americans portrayed in the movie --- purely from the 2009/2010 kind of era ---- how could they possibly master the ability to travel faster than the speed of light only to be the usual nincompoop morons they are like in actual fact nowadays --- as they are in the movie -- to put it another way --- how the hell are they able to travel faster than the speed of light to some other planet --- only to rely on similar clunky technology as an extension to their greedy clunky moronic mentalities???? it does not add up........ but the movie is so entertaining, or else my life is so boring, that i felt the naming of the precious metal on the faraway planet (LIGHT YEARS away, mind you) 'Unobtanium' compensated nicely for this element --- and after all, 'it's only a movie' as they say...........

i do think art is important, but at the same time, it seems like a real pity that the only way you can present 'trippy' and 'out-there' ideas to masses of people is thru an expensive movie that wows and dazzles --- otherwise people just don't want to hear about it........... what does this say about the human condition?

that the people of today are gonna do it all by the material book --- tip the balance of the Earth's ecology until it rains non-stop here and snows non-stop there and burns non-stop over there and everyone is made a clown of --- to what end?

moving on, one of the most beautiful themes in this movie in it's expression and as an element of the universal subconscious mind is the representation of war between two different worlds.......... we all saw it on our own planet in world war ii on a colossal and epic scale........ but legend speaks of civilizations on this very planet, creators of such magnificent buildings as the pyramids of egypt and the legends of great mayan civilization in terms of astronomy, etc.......... legend speaks of civilations on this planet in advance of our own current civilization --- furthermore, like from a child's fantasy cartoon -- of civilizations, not only great, but capable of weilding tremendous power through magic, white and black..... and wars between good and evil forces as per the japanese manga cartoon tradition (of magic wielding and the ability to summon great forces to move matter)...... the legends of Atlantis and Lemurias............... watching the war scenes in Avatar maybe plays to something deep within our subconsious minds of our own experiences of crazy wars --- perhaps on other planets where we have incarnated previously and lived many lifetimes............ or perhaps on this very same planet........ the war scenes in Avatar were certainly entertaining --- the whole movie, in fact, had a very good flow to it and just maintained a harmonious, entertaining balance on the whole...... there was one tiny little scene like 4 seconds long where sigourney weaver offers the crippled guy some crusty old cheese or something like that for dinner and i thought that tiny 4 second scene odd but that was about it........ everything else seemed kosher..........

moving on, even the Vatican has weighed in on this movie........ does anyone have any idea of the amount of secret and hidden documents of great importance the Vatican has locked away? secret documents dealing with mystical lore and magic..... how to create animals from next to nothing (without resorting to cloning) and on and on and on............

i thought having nerve endings at the tip of one's hair some 1 foot away from the scalp as an odd device but the movie is so fantastic in its approach to creativity that we don't care as we sit back and realize that the possibilities for different lifeforms on a probably uncountable amount of life-supporting planets 'out there' must exist........

as hamlet said: 'there are more things to heaven and earth than enters your philosophy horatio'.......

i highly recommend any kind of apocolyptic, big-budget movie going nowadays --- e.g., 2012 or Avatar....... at least on the big screen you get some entertainment fix like that........
