I watched Avatar with my brothers yesterday. The movie "experience" would have been great if we didn't watch in Mega. A ticket costs Php170 and the cinema was dirty. Popcorn sa floor, empty bottles, straw. Mej-BV yon.
But the movie is GREAT. Because...
1. I remembered a topic in His18.2. Native Americans. The Navi People sort of looked like the Native Americans (me thinks yes). They were sent to reservoirs (in the movie, they were forced to go somewhere else), some were killed. Ok, so mej naiyak ako when the Tree fell and the daughter (I forget the name) was wailing because her father died, and because of the lost her People are experiencing.
2. The military dude, the coronel "embodied" his country well. :-) Super America. :-)
3. Environmental shizz. Some people destroy lands to get what they "thought" would make them rich. Let's make Mother Nature happy :-)
4. Diplomacy is... well hard. Conflicting ideas, culture, threatening presence, interests. Since it's hard and slow, some people, like the military dude would resort to violent means to get what they want.
5. Final Fantasy-ish :-) I am a fan of FF, but not a big gamer geek. Haha! I've played FF8-FFxi (thanks to my brothers). I was half wishing that a "chocobo" will appear in the forest. Para fun :-) ok, super loser ng dating nun. But the animals and the scenery were amazing, especially when it's night time. Everything's glow in the dark. Cool! :-)
I just realized that Michael Jackson's Earth Song perfectly fits the part when the military men were firing/bombing the Tree.
I want to watch Avatar again :-) Super awesome movie!
