Finally "Avatar"

I received a call from LA during the day, and they were talking endlessly in a very pure American language. Faced with this sudden situation, I said in trembling English, CAN YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO SPEAK CHINESE? My spoken English and listening skills were not good at all. In addition, the other party's intention was not clear. Later, I learned that the other party was a Hollywood film distribution company. I don't know how to learn from a manual about our little-known channel and wanted to sell us the film. And I, it is possible to facilitate a cross-border transaction.

I am not in a foreign company, and this situation does not happen very often. But the world is really small. Chatting with this DAVID from the other side of the earth through the Internet, I don't think there is too much distance between us. I like their LAKERS and KOBE BRYANT. We can comment on their company's films through IMDB. We all praise the newly released "District Nine". He said that he watched the "Avatar" twice, and that night, I also came to the film museum and contributed to the box office of the 3D and IMAX "Avatar".

I was sitting in front of the huge screen of the museum, and there were many foreigners sitting around me. Before the show, Jay Chou’s "Dao Xiang" was played in the cinema. The Chinese boy introduced to his foreign friends in English. This is a singer from Taiwan, who is slurred, but extremely popular... Amidst the brisk music, I Wearing special 3D glasses, thinking that there are several IMAX screens in the world. Finally, I felt a little bit of being in an international metropolis.

The movie is undoubtedly "good-looking", but I was somewhat disappointed. If it is not well filmed, then I, a movie fan, is too difficult to serve. But apart from the visual novelty, I really can't find too many words to describe it. As a super blockbuster, it is far inferior to "Lord of the Rings" in terms of plot structure and shocking scenes; on the novelty of the narrative form and the original idea of ​​the theme, it is inferior to "The Ninth" a while ago. District"; the story it tells, let me see the shadow of many previous films, such as "The Ape Tarzan", such as "Dancing with Wolves".

The film discusses topics such as ecological balance, resource plunder, race disputes, and memory inheritance. The views are fashionable but not in-depth. Of course, in the context of consumerism, in order to harvest as much box office revenue as possible on a global scale, it has become not necessary for the current movies to explore the deep connotation and humanistic spirit. For some great directors who have achieved great fame, it must be impossible or not, at least they think so. In order to reduce the audience's "accessibility" to the movie, the simpler the background, the better, the more clear the relationship between the characters, the better, and the more superficial the conflict, the better. But when it comes to this point, I think it's really not as good as "2012".

In addition, I think the film is not enough in detail and inner portrayal. Of course, with the cold reality on one side and the colorful and beautiful planet on the other, the feelings of the characters are of course self-evident. But from being raped to being instigated, one has to struggle for a while, right? In an interesting setting in the movie, on the planet Pandora, different creatures can feel each other's hearts as long as they touch each other's tentacles, and then be loyal forever. This can save a lot of things! I am very puzzled. When those birds and beasts come into contact with the leading actor, don't they feel the wandering in his heart?

Just saw a piece of news that happened on the earth. A pregnant woman with a big belly was swimming in the sea and attracted a dolphin to play with her. Faced with this joyous spectacle, the reporter excitedly guessed that the dolphins must be able to perceive the existence of the fetus, and even the sex of the fetus. I want to say that this is really wishful thinking, but what about it? Use dolphins instead of ultrasound? God does not allow the Tower of Babel to exist, so it is destined that even if different species can dance in harmony, they will never be able to communicate with each other. Too many disputes have arisen because of this.

At the end of the film, the hero who rides a super bird leads the mighty man to declare war on mankind. The gesture he poses, his propaganda words, and the heroic complex flooding in Hollywood movies made me feel speechless. These things are so cheap, and this film is so expensive! Alas, maybe people's energy is limited, Cameron has focused his attention on technical exploration...

Finally, I guess that for an audience like me, it doesn't need to spend so much money to make a movie. A low-cost film can still move me to death, and a film with a lot of money can sometimes be an eye addiction. However, the experience itself is equally important.
