Pandora 2014 better told by showing
A fitting 'avatar' Sheer coincidence perhaps that james cameron's 'avatar' has
hit the theatres at a time when the world met at copenhagen to try and discover
how to live in harmony with nature.Thematically very suitable and meaningful for
the climate and time we live in and cinematically an event that overawes you
with the mere scale of the vividly imaginative canvas that it opens before
you.It is a treat to see, that takes your inhale away. Set in 2154, to expect
the 'sky people'(Live people)On a journey of cure and exploitation.They land on
planet pandora lived on by a race that, at the very to click here to see more info about bracelet
charms me, looked enlightened by indian blue skinned gods.The tails of
the natives might have easily come from hanuman and the vanar sena.The fierce
looking birds they fly on just like the garuda, vishnu's motorcycle.And 'avatar'
is mostly a reincarnation, an convert ego, that the humans create with the magic
of science to copy physically the tall and graceful na'vi tribe, to spy on them
and learn the best ways to manipulate and defeat them. The plot in many senses
is relevant and an expression of the times we live in but a little too
simplistic.The 'sky people' wish to use superior, harmful technology, to gain
control all on top of the mineral rich planet.They generate pretensions of being
humane, hesitant to kill mothers and children, so would rather to coerce them to
leave their motherland.But if that will not work, they will be willing and open
to destroy them, to have their way, to achieve the mineral wealth. Manner in
which, we will have what we aim for, the usage of guile or force, whichever
works more effectively.And if we face resistor, in the following pararaphs label
it 'our war against terror'.As the war mongering colonel miles quaritch put it
in can be, 'we desire to fight terror with terror'.The same excuse that we hear
all over the world to use brute force. The only deflating part of the story to
me was the climax.To tell the world that learning to live in harmony with nature
is the only method to survival would have been Pandora 2014 better told by showing
that stretching nature, far above the limits that nature sets for you,
overexploitation, is a path to self devastation and suicide.Instead the film
uses the same dangerous force like explosives and weapons to defeat the evil
forces.I would have preferred a dawn of wisdom from the more intelligent twist
to the tale.Instead it gave the look of succumbing to the limitations of
american sensibilities.
