hello world dis ya boi. imma jump right into it. i went to the IMAX theater in Raleigh last night to watch Avatar in 3D. For those who are unfamiliar with an IMAX theater itz the gargantuan movie screen with stupendous surround sound etc basically itz off the chain lol. I over analyze a lot so when Avatar first came out and i found out that they spent 300 + million dollars on an animation film i was shocked. Simply b/c we are in a "recession" kats struggling but one industry neva cringes in the face of economic dangers...the entertainment industry. The movie was awesome and not just b/c of the 3D effect(which btw whas hot). The plot envelopes around the idea of humans trying to conquer an area of land for their own use while uprooting the indigenous from their homeland; sound familiar?
There are numerous reviews, mostly good about the movie. I was reading on CNN when the movie first came out. Many ppl who viewed the movie felt mixed feelings of guilt and/or sadness aptly named "blue sadness" (i think?!). Ppl likened the movie to our world where humans have long been rapist of Mother Earth for centuries. I believe we as humans fail to realize that the Creator made more than just us; on this rock we are part of an huge ecosystem that we continually abuse for our own gratification. The Creator has no problem with us using the land for resources but like alwayz itz overused and not replenished. Humans live in excess, me included though i try to make a conscious effort.
The movie is really powerful in that it can really change ur perspective on things in this world. Our world is dying yet we neva change our ways. We must embrace this Earth and all it has to offer. There was a saying in the movie i wanted to share with u. Paraphrasing it was stated that energy is everywhere from the plants to other life forms and this energy can be borrowed but must be given back(when death occurs). I truly believe that; everything has energy, some call it chi but regardless what u call it itz there. I always say that humans are like locust and just like these insidious insects humans destroy resources then move to another until that is depleted. For instance look at the situation now in the Gulf of Mexico. Y the fuk u drillin offshore really? y u r drillin period? We should have found another sustainable source of energy yrs ago. Many problems politically and environmentally i think could possibly have been avoided.
Mother Earth screams at the top of her lungs to stop the destruction but we keep our ears closed and eyes shut to the devastation only to have our pockets full of money. What happens when the Earth ceases to exist will u be able to spend ur blood money then?
