Avatar, even if dreams don't come true

Pandora, pandora, means the gift of the gods, the first woman created by Zeus. Because Prometheus stole fire from the sky and gave it to humans, Zeus used her in a rage as a tool for revenge on humans. Everything about her is unparalleled perfection, but the box she carried to the world is full of disasters and plagues. When she opened the box and put the disasters into the world, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, quietly placed it at the bottom of the box in order to save the fate of mankind. The beautiful thing "Hope" has not had time to fly out of the box, Pandora closed the box. Since then, the world has been shrouded in the shadow of cups. . .
In fact, if there is no pain, no happiness, no war and disease, one does not know how precious peace and health are. From this perspective, Zeus not only gave mankind a disaster, but also gave mankind the basis for a true perception of happiness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This planet is called Pandora, this is the only thing I had with Avatar before watching it. Knowledge of the plot.
After watching a few shots of the promotional film, with the mentality of watching "Draenei", I decided to watch "Avatar". I haven't read the plot introduction and film review before, and I am a little paranoid that knowing the outline of the story is not interesting. Therefore, although you must watch the IMAX version to follow the trend, in addition to having a relatively deep understanding of how difficult it is to buy tickets, I don’t have much knowledge about this hugely expensive film, and of course I can’t talk about expectations. "Meaning, taste it, and then say it again.
Like regular sci-fi films, what you see at the beginning is instruments, scientists and some people involved in experiments. No matter what the purpose is, modern scientific research has a certain political and economic purpose behind it, regardless of whether the researchers themselves have Such an idea, but the crowd behind them, must have a plan. Hehe, it's nonsense, so I don't feel anything when I see it here. The big screen of 3D+IMAX makes me uncomfortable. Maybe it's the reason why I'm too naive.


The real body is linked with Avatar and enters Pandora. Jack's avatar's center of gravity was unstable, and I was also dizzy. After more than ten seconds, he ran into the jungle, and my mouth started to keep an "O" shape - it was really beautiful. Brilliant colors, playful plants that tuck away like mimosas, and bits of light. . . The language is too poor to describe, and being in it, wearing flowers and leaves, is a wonderful feeling.
Start to jump for joy, this movie is my favorite genre. Playing WOW to the later stage, one of my hobbies is "travel", playing Oduya to the botanical garden, the first thing to push to the BOSS is to go in and see the scenery. And this film just took me to a bigger botanical garden, zoo. . . And flying mounts! Ha ha!
From the discomfort at the beginning, I enjoy this feeling more and more later. Leap from waterfalls, jump between branches, swing between vines, swoosh over Ikaran. . .
The orange big mushroom umbrella has the character of mimosa, and it is put away when you touch it. The seeds of the big tree are like dandelion and jellyfish, transparent and mischievous. . . People live in big trees, they are graceful and vigorous, they sleep on rope beds, and they can communicate with animals. Horses have 6 feet, and the beasts are cute even if they are fierce. People express their emotions so directly, wrinkling their noses, growling, laughing, screaming. . . This is simply a dreamland.
Immersed in the love of this environment, I don't agree with the Colonel's statement to Jack at the beginning of the film that it is "just another hell" and "worse than hell".
The planet Pandora is as perfect as the girl Pandora, but everything is the bear's paw of the first, and the arsenic of the second, hehe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The earthlings

have invaded and their homes have been destroyed. . . Neytiri's eyes were on fire with the galloping horse, the fallen tree, the injured Na'vi, panic and heartache, and I started to cry. . . Even though she knew that Grace was a "spy" of the earthlings, in the face of death, the kind-hearted Na'vi still did not forget to take Grace's soulless prosthesis - three or two female Na'vi with ropes The net was struggling to pull the body, staggering, with the enemy and artillery fire behind me, I once again had to take off the 3D glasses that I cried and wiped. . .

Neytiri's Ikaran died, and the little beasts who took the initiative to mount her also died, thinking of their cute expressions before, and their seemingly ferocious but innocent looks. . . I cried again and again. . . Maybe it's because my tears are too low, maybe it's like watching "King Kong" and "Monster Company", how many men think that women cry like this and don't know what to do, but watching the things they like so much get destroyed by hateful guys, Crying, like Neytiri's helpless howl, was the only catharsis.
The whole film is full of respect for life. Neytiri was full of guilt after killing the little beast in the jungle to save Jack, and scolded Jack, "You are like a child in trouble, it shouldn't have died!" Later, they went hunting and shot the beast to end quickly Its pain, and another way of expressing the explanation of hunting for survival choice. Maybe many people will say, don't hunt if you have a seed, it is hypocritical. But compared to what we humans have done today, it is no longer noble! The whine of the dolphins in "Dolphin Bay" is still in my ears, remembering that the bear bile was taken without freedom in my life, and I never knew what the blue sky and grass were. The sad Moon Bear remembered the stray animals who were running on the road in horror and could not even find the dirty water on the roadside to drink, and the dogs that were massacred. . . That kind of helpless. . .
Jack said, there is no green on the earth, they have destroyed the earth, and they will come to destroy your home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After watching the movie, I read some movie reviews and some people say how old-fashioned it is On the topic of environmental protection, some people say that this is a low-level aggression and anti-aggression struggle, and some people say that the storyline is simple and rough, but the righteous weak defeated the strong bad.
It is true that this is a commercial film that uses simple themes and uses high technology to make money. The truth is, it's better than those so-called blockbusters with ambiguous themes, dark and cramped, and without aesthetics that make money. The public may not dare to say that it is the emperor's new clothes. The public may think that they are stupid so they can't see the gorgeous new clothes, but, but haha~~ The "two points" that the public sees the honorable emperor reveal are Really, not a hallucination. . . Therefore, when the public's physiological reactions of nausea or laughter or tears are manifested, people who pretend to be high-level people, don't use "ignorance" and "shallowness" for TMD. . .
The lines of "Avatar" are simple. Because of the 3D version I watched, the subtitles "floated" in the air, and it was quite painful to adjust the focus from time to time. Most of the English in it is mixed with deliberately distorted accents, and there are a lot of "alien languages". Fortunately, even if you don't read the subtitles, you can roughly know the plot. Not only because of its simple plot, but also because of its delicate expressions and pictures. I'm still glad that the IMAX version is a non-dubbed version, at least when the heroine holds Jack in her arms like a baby and says "I see you" affectionately, she won't hear "I see you" so stiff and scary translate.
"They can not take whatever they want!" ~~This line and the environment at the time shocked me no less than Wallace's pathetic and determined cry: "Freedom!~~~~~~~~~~~ ~"
Change the shooting angle and position, let's say this is a "battle of justice" in which people come to a planet in outer space and want to find a place to live, but they are strongly resisted by the local indigenous people. , turning "aggression" into a "mission", what will the audience see? As big as the occupied Americas and Australia, slaughtered Indians and Australian aboriginals, as small as the Vietnam War and Iraq War, and as small as the battles between modern people and the indigenous people who went to explore in "The Anaconda", false science and the name of civilization. . . "Avatar" is the reflection of people on earth. . . Maybe from another angle, people watching the movie can still feel the power of high-tech, the picture is still lifelike, the scene is still magnificent, the scenery may still be beautiful, but that kind of innocence with a little childishness should not be smelled at all, right? ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, does not mean The strong can trample life recklessly. When I read "Rereading the 21st Century", I couldn't help but feel hairs running down my spine. According to statistics in the last year of the 20th century, there are about 11,046 species of animals and plants on the earth facing the danger of permanent disappearance from the earth, the destruction of ecology by industrialization, and the drive of commercial interests. . . How many people have watched MJ's "EARTH SONG" MV? Moved? Shocked? like it? But still indifferent! How many moments of emotion can be turned into action?
~Unfortunately, "Avatar" is just a story about dreams. Whether it is science fiction or myth, we earthlings, we have come to this day, and we can never go back. In the past two hundred years, the level and extent of human destruction of the earth has greatly exceeded the "height" that can be achieved in the past 2,000 or 5,000 years. I think sadly, we can't go back!
I don't know how many people are like me, and like the hero Jack, for the beautiful Pandora, they don't hesitate to be a traitor, and they want to stay and be one of them. At the end of last year my signature was "I'm going back to Mars". . . Generally speaking, unsatisfactory talents are anti-social and anti-human. I don't know if I'm happy or unhappy, but some friends say I'm better with animals than people. I also don't know why. Even though there was an earthquake, I cried and donated money, but I still couldn't restrain my disgust for human society and so-called civilization. Well, I am extreme.
Even though I am now enjoying the fruits of "modern civilization", I am using a computer, surfing the Internet, and even working to achieve higher-end informatization, this does not offset the sadness of being born in such an era.
Psychological studies have shown that changing work environments does not substantially improve people's stress levels. There is not much danger in the work of modern people. Most people are in a "peaceful" society. It is people themselves who feel uncomfortable, so the focus is on self-adjustment. I agree with the conclusion that changing jobs does not improve stress levels very well. However, I have to blame society! As the instinct of animals, the need for security, the stress of threats, we will feel the pressure. In peacetime, when the job is not too dangerous, the vast majority of humans also secrete adrenaline to fight the threat. What does this mean? What problems can the so-called material civilization solve? I have to blame this great, civilized, developed business society. . .
Mental adjustment? Well, this is also a kind of progress that human beings must develop as society develops, right? Or is it to meet the needs of development? Right to be. No, we all accept it. We live, so we try to adapt. Fortunately, there are only a few people who are crazy. Scientists say that whether or not to be crazy is mostly determined by DNA. Even if everyone has a mental illness, that's not particularly "harmful", and put it aside. AIDS came out and SARS came out, and SARS came and came to a stream, and the birds and beasts got sick, so kill them! When rabies comes, you beat dogs, when mad cow disease comes, you kill cows, and when swine flu comes, the "humane" is "humane." . . Humans never look for reasons in themselves. . . There was a tsunami, a snowstorm, an earthquake, and the Arctic ice melted. . . rob Peter to pay Paul. . Unsustainable? That is not what is being considered at the moment. Competition between our countries is a big deal! Don't forget, resources are limited, don't care who destroys it or why, it's getting more and more limited, we have to grab it! Don't worry if you can't use it up, let's take it up and talk about it! It's in jeopardy, hold a meeting to discuss, and fight for the cost.
When the boa constrictor is full, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to attack it or occupy its territory, it won't be too idle to eat people. What is a boa constrictor? It's a cold blooded animal! Several grades lower than humans. . . If it is said that it is necessary to survive, it is understandable. Unfortunately, higher animals are spiritual. The subtlety of self-awareness lies in "self". The reason why "self" is "self" is that its ultimate potential goal is to be different, right? And this difference largely revolves around "preparing for war", and the sense of security is the most important. So, resources, money, power. . . It's always right to stock up. . . Ah. . . I'm too lazy to deduce these things that I'm not good at.
Maybe my comrades who study history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology and even economics can give me an explanation. Maybe there are related theories earlier. But why hasn't it changed so far? Well, I assume that this is irreversible and reversible, and the laws of society cannot be violated like the laws of nature. Let the wheel of history roll forward, heading for another demise.

Going back to the movie, even if the final result is doomed, it is undeniable that "Avatar" is still a perfect myth of beauty and love. Life has no meaning, and the beauty of the process is created by each of us. In any case, thanks to modern technology for showing us a different process, using digital and film to experience a different life. Of course, if I had a choice, I'd rather just live my supposedly small life. Hehe, look, how I am a human being who can "repay kindness and vengeance". . .
Well, if you yearn for this myth, start now and have more respect for life. Again, a drop in the bucket is better than adding fuel to the fire. Stop putting on your shoulders the great responsibility of contributing to "social progress". We are nothing but an animal on earth, this is it!

    Rewatching Avatar is indeed epoch-making. Whether the story is old-fashioned or not, the charm of the movie itself is unparalleled.
