AVATAR!!!!

december 21st, 2009

Okay so here is a very nerdy blog! :D

Haha, okay so last friday I went to the cinema with my boyfriend to watch the new movie “Avatar”! My expectations were not too high, though I thought it would be an okay new action movie… But MY OH MY was I wrong?!?!?!

Yes, is the answer to that question! It was not just “okay” it was “FREAKING AWSOME!!!” And that is me just being modest! Haha no seriously it was a very very good movie! I like it very very much. First of all the graphics were very good, and so was the whole plot which I seriously loved! The acting was also incredible, I especially loved the character Neytiri performed by Zoë Saldaña.

The whole story pretty much reminded me of the story of the indians in America. First off all that blue people in the story called the Na’vi people pretty much had some of the indian beliefs, like that the world is somehow connected, plus they have this speciel “bond” with some of the creatures which reminded me of the indians with the wild mustang. And then comes the “white people”, the people from earth and wants to destroy the Na’vi people, and take their land for their own personal gain. Any resemblence? Yes!

Okay at last my favourite quote from the movie, which goes something like this:” You make people your enemies, because that justifies you taking what you want from them”. Well maybe that is not as it is said in the movie though the point is the same… I like it a lot because it is true. Just like with the white man and the indians. The indians became the enemies, because that somehow justified that we took their land (I do not agree, I have to say, but I think that it is true that this is what many people have done through history). It also happened in Africa… We (the white people) made the native africans our enemies (I don’t what else to call them without offending anyone? Coloured people? Negroes?hmm well the natives then) just so we could take their land, and everything else Africa have had to offer…

Well I guess that is all. If you have read all of this, I thank you! I know it has been a very nerdy and long blog. Well then anyway, have a nice holiday and a merry christmas :D
