Avatar : an epic for minorities
(Note : no spoilers ahead. but If you are sensitive about leaking the story before watching a movie, I recommend you to read this after you watch the movie.)
As I've been looking forward the movie Avatar for a few months, I've been worrying at the same time that what if I disappointed because I expected about it too much. And after I watched the movie, if you are worrying about same thing as me, I can tell you. No need to worry at all.
I don't know about you who are reading this, but for me, the movie Avatar was the best entertaining movie ever in my entire life. Seriously, this movie just blew away my mind.
Avatar is truly a buzz these days. Many people are saying about its stunning 3D computer graphics. It was really fantastic, but I want to weigh more to the movie's ideas.
The story is about a paraplegic ex-marine (Jake Sully) being committed to the unique mission called "Avatar", which is transplanting his personality into a alien body and putting into the it's tribe. This movie has many factors I concern about and like. nature, adventure, and a interest in minorities are them. Jake Sully is a minority in human society because he is a disabled. and he became an alien as well after he tried to join the Navis(alien tribe). But he slowly gain their trust, and becomes one of them.
There was one line in the movie which came through my mind. Quaritch (a villian, sort of.) says to Jake "Do you think you're one of them? There's no way you can be." (maybe not correct) Jake's in the alien's body, but theoretically he can't be one of them. And if he go back to human life, It may not be worth living. I've always been thinking about the pain of minorities like foreigners, aliens, Korean-Americans, and so forth. They are always wanting to join one of the tribes, but basically they can't be neither sides. This movie is letting us to take care of that kind of people in our society.
And this movie also lets us to dream. The planet Pandora is no where can exist on earth. Director James Cameron create a new world and made it feel like real by cutting edge 3D graphics. Watching movies are always like dreaming. Good movies make it feel like more real, but as the line in Avatar, sooner or later though, you always have to wake up. And we go back to boring life.
This movie is like awesome dream so that I want to watch it on and on. And that's what I'm wanting to do in my life as well. Giving people good dreams, good hope.
