AVATAR



Medium is amazing. 3-D IMAX is an entertaining experience which can make you dizzy sometimes.
Plot develops as expected, being executed in Hollywood's classic fashion.
One feeling sympathy to the cause of those blue creatures must ask themselves what's happening in the jungles of west Papua or perhaps Brazil. Poor indigenous chaps there, should they be blue or do they need a 3-D narration to help their cause ?
If we film news in a more emotionally stimulating way, would we have larger audiences ?
Isn't it all about "medium is the message" ?
one interesting scene was the first contact of our human and his creature lover in their real existence...I wonder if the Avatar of our man dies, would they still continue love each other in their different forms of existence ? Also, does our man fall in love with the physical abilities of his Avatar ? (as he is disabled in his human body) Some Lacanian questions emerge there...

  1. The only way 'The News' will recieve a greater audience is if the facts aren't manipulated by the media body. No one trusts what they read or see on the news these days, we are all too aware of what the media will do for a story and how the lines are blurred between fact and fiction.
