Ok so I just saw that AVATAR movie (phenomenally schweet, I might go pay to see it next time). Anyway, now its all over CNN that folks are depressed from seeing this movie......where do I start? Maybe I should start with by asking a question. Are you f$*%in serious?!! Aight fine. Let me stop being an a$$hole about it. I can empathize. Despite the fact that this movie illuminates the beauty of the natural world and highlights the power of the human spirit as well as the goodness in man/woman, I cant forget that there are two sides to every story.
I mean sure there was a happy ending and all the people that should have lived, lived and those that should have died, died but I think we can all agree that this movie had a lot of depth. I think that if there is one thing to be depressed about it should be the fact that humans have been the ultimate evil towards planet earth and have been sucking the planet dry of her resources and when we tap out and devour one corner of the earth we move on to the next sector to do the same thing making us resemble a virus more than a part of nature that is supposed to live in harmony with what was provided to us here on earth and it is only inevitable that we will have to leave this planet in search of new space because we've turned this planet into a great big ball of shit!!!!! (see WALL-E and BATTLE FOR TERRA) or how bout the fact that humans are so ruthless that we will eradicate and and nullify the existence of an entire race of life in order to fulfill our selfish inharmonious goals which some of us can relate to more than other (see NATIVES AMERICANS or "AMERICAN INDIANS" and/or the over 7700 types of endangered species ). Thats quite depressing when U think about it isn't? <- END SCENE.
The point is....well...there is no point. Just this. There was so much beauty in the AVATAR movie. Why take out the sucky parts? We all know that the depression was already there before the movie. Maybe you feel depressed cause you can be doing more with your life, then do more. Maybe you feel like you want to feed your sense of adventure, go head and do it. Don't sit around and mope about it.
I think this movie inspires a new wave of thinking. It makes me want to return to the earth. Run around barefoot and go horseback riding in the nude. It makes me want to be one with nature. And if I can't do all that maybe I'll just try to recycle a little more. I definitely recommend this movie and encourage all of you to see it. At the very least AVATAR is a movie that gives a new respect for life and culture and what could possibly be depressing about that.
