Feedback from Avatar ~ ~ Thank you.

The seeds of the tree of the Holy Spirit are falling on us.

I belong to the kind of audience that is hard to be moved by sci-fi movies, but Avatar not only touched me, but also made me feel a supernatural energy, so that a mortal like me can get out of my body even in a short time, and like Jack, the paraplegic hero in the film, he can look at his own human beings from the eyes of people on another planet.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole skyfire and gave it to mankind, which angered the Lord God. Zeus not only locked Prometheus on the cliff of Caucasus Mountain and was pecked to death by an eagle, but also created a beautiful woman, Pandora, in conjunction with the gods. She married Prometheus' brother with a box full of disasters and opened the box on their wedding night: all kinds of evils such as plague, jealousy, sin and greed flooded the world ... Pandora became the chief culprit in spreading disasters. In this film directed by Cameron, human beings have ulterior motives to name the planet they want to attack and occupy "Pandora", which undoubtedly gives aggression the name of "justice". Pandora = disaster, since it is a disaster, it is famous.

Jack is willing to take the place of his dead brother and become an "Avatar" warrior, and manipulate "body double" into a spy with his real thinking, and explore Pandora for two selfish purposes: one is human selfishness (plundering the resources of other planets), and the other is individual selfishness (gaining the ability to walk). However, human beings should not only satisfy their inflated desires, but also falsely put on a legal coat for them, even in the name of God. Avatar means "the reincarnation of God on the earth" in Sanskrit.

However, when Jack came to Pandora, he found that this horrible place, which was rendered by human beings as poisonous gas transpiration and monsters gathering, was actually a fantastic garden with towering trees, suspended mountains, dotted lakes and colorful plants, which was unparalleled in beauty. Although the creatures there are fierce, powerful and grumpy, they attack Jack only because of the peace here. They are more defensive than offensive. They are used to the cover of mimosa and the silence of the night. Namilun, an indigenous tribe living in the rainforest, is kind and friendly, united and friendly, honest and brave, and has the nature of psychic nature, and is sheltered by the goddess Eve. Within two days, Jack was deeply moved by the sincerity and friendliness of the tribesmen, fell in love with the leader's daughter who saved his life and taught him language and survival skills, and felt that being a member of the tribe was both safe and warm.

I think, after a series of thrilling adventures in the jungle, all the audience in the cinema and I were "brainwashed" like Jack. We gradually eliminated the violent "beast" on ourselves and restored the warm "humanity" that was constantly lost in the process of consumer civilization.

One of the scenes that moved me most in the film was that Jack's body was wrapped in the dark jungle by the seeds of the magical tree. Those seeds are like light catkins, like transparent jellyfish floating in the sea, emitting endogenous light and conveying harmonious information. The daughter of the tribal leader didn't shoot the uninvited guest, because she saw the seed of a soul tree fall on the arrow that had been bent down to shoot. Instead, she fought the wolves and saved his life. It was because she saw the seeds of countless sacred trees fall on strangers that she believed him and decided to take him back to the tribe. She not only taught her to ride horses and drive away birds, but also took him to see the sacred tree of the tribe and kissed and made love with him under the tree.

Jack fell in love with Nami and betrayed Nami. According to the accurate information he provided, human fighters and spaceships came to this harmonious place, carried out brutal killings, blew up the giant trees where Nami people lived, and turned the lush green forest into a sea of fire and scorched earth. In the face of human cruelty, Jack resolutely betrayed his own kind. Driven by kindness and justice, he chose the latter between "the true body belongs" and "the Taoist body belongs". He used the courage and wisdom of human struggle to lead Nami people who have never experienced war to a decisive battle with mankind! Between the colorful birds and the metal spacecraft, we all gave the birds the expectation of victory, gave the weak just support, and betrayed mankind without hesitation like Jack.

This betrayal is also a just trial, which deals with the ever-expanding hegemony, cruelty, lies and greed of human beings (ignoring the hegemonism of biological cruelty, pretending to be a god and sanctifying lies, and occupying all greed). With Jack's eyes, we saw the evil possession flying out of Pandora's box and realized that the real Pandora planet is not the one we named, but the earth that is going to be destroyed in our hands! Humans claim to be descendants of fire thieves-descendants of Prometheus, but what do we do with stolen fire? Prometheus, not afraid of being punished by the Lord God, stole skyfire from the world in order to give light and warmth to human beings and make them live happily. And what about humans? But it turns fire into a weapon to destroy nature and life. Is the human who betrayed Prometheus' original intention worthy of calling himself a descendant of Prometheus?

I don't think Avatar expresses the two themes of "protecting the environment" and "opposing hegemony" at all. I suddenly understood why I didn't like watching sci-fi movies like Future World or Star Wars before, because I resisted the increasingly powerful violent tendency, possessiveness and unrestrained conquest ambition of human beings in my bones. In those movies, human beings always play the role of arrogant conquerors. In Avatar, man defeated himself for the first time. At the end of the film, under the spirit tree, Jack's super god flies into the incarnation from the real body under the prayer of Nami. When he suddenly opened his eyes, my heart screamed with joy, and countless spiritual tree seeds gathered together to shine brightly.

I am excited to find that the well-known Greek mythology has made mistakes in the process of being handed down from generation to generation. Legend has it that the "hope" that Athena, the goddess of wisdom, secretly put at the bottom of the box in order to save mankind had not had time to fly out, and Pandora locked the box. That was not the case. "Hope" has flown out and has been floating around us, but we can't see it with the naked eye. Maybe we saw it, but we turned a blind eye because we believed the misinformation.

Tonight, I came out of the cinema and walked in the dark street. I saw Hope and heard Michael Jackson sing Save the World on the nano-planet. I believe that many people have seen the seeds of the spirit tree flying and shining in the air like me, and I believe that many people feel more and more seeds falling on themselves like me.

Pandora, a dreamy place, an indestructible place, because there is a tree of life and our hope.

I watched Avatar at home last night. I wanted to go to the movies. However, considering the recent cold weather, I watched DVD at home, but the overall effect was good. I have been looking forward to going to Avatar. I have been paying attention to it from its planning to its premiere. After watching it, I really think the details of the movie are quite good. Everything on Pandora is fine, and it feels the same as real. There is also the high technology used above, which makes me feel the deepest is the frequency of tablet computers. Almost all the computers on it are touch-sensitive tablets, as thin as glass, which look very handsome. This should also send us a signal that the next generation of computers should gradually eliminate the mouse and keyboard and replace them with more convenient and ultra-thin touch-sensitive tablets.

Avatar is a bit lacking in plot. Generally speaking, a group of earthlings went to a planet called Pandora to mine, but there are still many undiscovered creatures on this planet. When people arrive at a savage planet, they usually pick up their so-called high-tech weapons and do something mercilessly, destroying what originally belonged to Pandora, destroying the living environment of the creatures above, and leading to the rebellion of the whole planet. In the best case, if it fails, mankind will be forced to quit Pandora. This is actually the ultimate revelation of this film: human beings are not gods, can't be selfish, can't destroy the living environment of other creatures for their own interests, and can't ruin everyone's hopes. If they are self-righteous, they will inevitably bring their own ruthless ambitions, and it is human beings who will eventually fail.

Of course, there can't be a lack of love in the play. The love of the hero is really touching. When West learned about Jane's purpose and cheating, she was very angry at first, but she was always worried about Jane and his survival. However, because of this unworthy love, Jane stood on the opposite side of the same kind with her own conscience and rebelled against humanity with her own people, because she really loved West, and their declaration of love was true under the tree of life. But in the end, Jane's death made me feel a little lost. West is still single, and he will always miss the man who flew in the sky with him, the ignorant man. Love is great, love can transcend race and everything, because we all have the same feelings and the same conscience is supporting our beautiful home. At the beginning of the film, it is stated that when one person dies, another person must be like himself.

From the sequels of Future Warrior and Alien to Titanic, the most popular movie in history, gold medal director James Cameron always presents the most unexpected things to the audience, and his new 3D movie Avatar is no exception. James has been fascinated by science fiction since he was a child. He wrote the script of Avatar as early as 14 years ago. The story tells that in the future, the earth will compete for rare materials and launch the Avatar project. Humans will put on the body of Avatar and fly to the distant planet Pandora to get materials. Jack (Sam worthington), the hero, used to be a marine. Because of paraplegia, he was eager to stand up again, so he participated in the plan and put on his head with consciousness to go to Pandora to get the freedom to walk again. During this period, I met Princess Neville (Zoe Salda), a planetary clan with blue striped skin, and was caught in a dilemma in a war between human beings and clan people. Due to the limitation of stunts in those years, James had to put aside his beloved script.

unprecedented in history

Although 3D movies have become popular in recent years, the 3D A film made by James this time has brought a historic breakthrough to 3D technology. When James holds a 3D camera to photograph the protagonist's every move in motion-sensing tights, the computer can already see the scene where the protagonist becomes a blue pinaverian performing in the stunt forest scene. This technology of watching 3D shooting in real time is unprecedented. At the same time, James is shooting in a real scene, so it is difficult for the audience to tell the truth from the false.

Although the protagonist is a blue alien, all the performances are the efforts of the actors, not just dubbing the characters. In addition to going into battle in person, actors often keep company with flying beasts and ride them around. It turns out that an actor must learn how to ride a beast, how to move and balance his body, and calculate the time to match the same rotating 3D background. Actors put on sensory tights and hoods with miniature camera hanging on them.

Wonderful ending

James mentioned that the most enjoyable scene in the whole film is the hero and heroine flying freely on the wild animals in the sky, but the most exciting scene is the action scene at the end. He spent two years studying how to film the ending. What would it be like for the 7-meter-high Na 'vi people to use arrows against human jeeps and helicopters? James said, "It's like the last twenty minutes of the sequel to the future warrior, including air, land, armored forces and infantry. It is definitely the ancestor of all wars and the biggest thing I have ever done in my life. This film also represents the achievements of my life. "

Creative language

James Cameron, the director of the film, also devoted himself to designing the ecological environment and culture of Pandora, and even found a linguist to create a brand-new Namibian language and present his imaginary planet on the screen. According to the creatures on the earth, he created all kinds of wild animals living on Pandora. Each wild animal is made of at least hundreds of design drawings, and the design takes one and a half years to complete. He also made a model of a beast with wires, moved the model by hand and photographed the scene of the beast flying in the air. Pandora can be said to be James' painstaking work.

This is a shocking film, which puts our thinking in a world where the future and the ancient are intertwined. Among them, high-tech instruments have opened our eyes, and the beautiful ancient natural world has intoxicated us. This is a contest between primitive justice and advanced greed, which makes us understand the importance of nature and the greed of human mind.

This film tells the story of an earthman who went to Pandora to mine. In order to obtain more resources, Avatar, a combination of human and local indigenous Nami genes, was developed. Jack, a incapacitated former US Marine, manipulated his avatar into the Nami crowd and tried to use him to drive them away. It's just that Jack was moved by the wonder of nature and the Na 'vi people who love nature, United many forces and defeated mankind with many high-tech weapons.

We humans also developed from ancient times and primitive times. Maybe we also loved nature at that time. But after millions of years of evolution and evolution, human beings have changed, their hearts have become dirty, and greed is like a drop of dirty ink, which has defiled the original pure heart of human beings. Driven by interests, people's greedy demons began to disturb people's spirits, leading people to cut down forests and pollute rivers. Man walked out of the forest and grew up under the nourishment of springs and rivers. When we have power, why should we destroy them? Forgetting righteousness and valuing profit is not a specific term now, but has become human nature. Environmental protection departments frequently call for environmental protection, which is correct, but the original intention is greed. Why cut down trees less? That's to make trees reproduce. Why do you want to make the tree longer? Don't you want to wait until it grows much longer? ! How many people can really love our nature now? I'm afraid it's gone.

We want to appeal to the whole world: protect our nature wholeheartedly! Respondents: enthusiastic users | 2010-2-2119:12 | report.

The story of Avatar tells that in the future world, in order to obtain the resources of another planet Pandora, human beings started the Avatar project.

In the future world, with advanced technology, aliens are no longer so mysterious. Pandora is a newly discovered planet, with 900-foot-high towering trees, mountains scattered in the air, exotic flowers and plants and dense forests. However, what excites the earth people is not that its surface environment is similar to the earth or that there is the possibility of animals and plants living on it, but a mineral-a rare mineral worth 20 million US dollars per kilogram.

In order to obtain Pandora's resources, the Avatar project was officially launched. This plan intends to use the DNA of human beings and nano-people on Pandora to cultivate Avatar, which is nearly three meters high, through biotechnology, and control it with human thinking, so that it can sneak into Pandora unconsciously and wait for an opportunity to find minerals and send them back to Earth. Abandoning the identity of earthlings, being transformed into aliens and sneaking into the dangerous Pandora planet alone, there are many unknown risks in the Avatar project. However, for Jack, a former marine whose legs were paralyzed after the injury and he had to walk in a wheelchair, he was grateful to be able to stand up again, even if it was the body of an alien.

After volunteering for the experiment, the moment Jack opened his eyes, he saw blue toes. The newborn "he" is 3 meters tall, with a dark blue body, pointed ears and a cat-like face, beautiful skin with waterline and a strong tail ... From the outside, he is a nano-indigenous warrior.

As an "Avatar", it should be a simple task for Jack, who is used to executing orders, to infiltrate the interior of the Na 'vi people, dig up minerals and bring them back to the earth. However, when he arrived at Pandora, he was almost stunned by the beautiful scenery like enchanted gardens in his dream. In an accident, Jack met Nano Nettilly. Through gradual understanding, he truly realized the simplicity and kindness of Nami people, and even began to identify with the civilization of Pandora, feeling ashamed of the greed and bullying of people on earth. He didn't expect that his appearance would bring unexpected disasters to Pandora ... Responder: wwliujingjing | Level 1 | 20 10-2-2 1 20:46 | Report.

I bought a ticket at 2: 40. I am very excited. We entered the meeting 20 minutes early, chose a good seat and sat down, and soon it was full. It's very hot!

The world inside is so beautiful that the trailer can't show all the beauty of the world at all! An island suspended in the air will light up when you step on it at night. A huge flower shrinks very small when you touch it, a leaf, a strange-looking creature, a tree that is too big to speak, a dragon that can fly freely (I don't know its name for the time being), and the king of the red dragon! The world is so beautiful! However, it is also extremely dangerous. The protagonist is like a child who suddenly rushes in without knowing anything, and then learns from the local humanoid creature (a little spoiler, the protagonist is actually human, but there is a technology that allows human thoughts to enter the brain of the local humanoid creature captured by human beings, but he wakes up as soon as he sleeps, and his thoughts return to the ontology, so the protagonist basically appears as a local)!

Inner love is also an important part of this film. To tell the truth, I also fell in love with the heroine (the heroine is the daughter of a tribal leader of a local primitive resident). The heroine is not good-looking at first, but after watching it for a long time, she finds it very good-looking (although it is different from human beings). The choice of the hero is also greatly influenced by love! This is really interracial love, but in the end, love is perfect. Let's look forward to it!

The human beings in it (most of them are excellent like the heroes) are so hateful! When the huge aircraft arrives, everyone will feel how out of harmony with the world. The world here doesn't need such things! When human desires swell, their behavior is simply outrageous! Human civilization is indeed strong, but when all the creatures in this world are angry, human beings become fragile! Humans still can't fight the whole nature!

In fact, if my consciousness was transferred to the local residents, I wouldn't wake up. The world is beautiful, and these aliens are friendly and harmonious (I believe everyone will feel the same way). So everyone will support the protagonist's final choice!

Now let's talk about superb. The biggest investment in history has made the super-class film history reach a height, not to mention the visual impact. The exclamations of the people in the cinema can show that this is a completely new world created by super-class, so beautiful that you can't believe it, but super-class makes you feel that this world exists, and nothing makes you feel unreal, making you feel that the director is going to that place to shoot on the spot!

At the end of the film, everyone in the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded, proving that Cameron succeeded again!

This movie is so wonderful that there is so much to say, but if it is said too much, it will be easily spoiled and everyone will have no novelty. Everyone must go and see it! Respondents: Snow | Level II | 2010-2-2313: 41| Report.

Avatar is so publicized all over the world that it looks like an upgraded version of European colonists invading the American continent. Nothing new.

Yesterday, I finally went to see Avatar. The sensory shock of this film cannot be expressed in words. The first half of the film is to show you the beautiful scenery of another planet and the latest film technology in 2 1 century. Coupled with the 3D effect, whether you are running in the wilderness or flying in the sky, you are as immersive as ever, and it is a novel and completely different world.

And I believe that few people in the middle don't shine at the moment when watching this movie, when the tree of life (forehead. I really feel like a night elf. I was shot down by human machine guns and missiles. When human bulldozers pushed away alien plants, it suddenly occurred to me that this is what human beings are doing to the earth now. At the end of the movie, all the creatures on Pandora unite to fight back. Isn't this an allusion to the earth's revenge on mankind? Maybe I think too much. There are too many innuendos in this film, so I will continue to think about environmental protection, religion and humanity. . . Lots and lots. . .

To put it bluntly, I am very dissatisfied with the ending of the film. When the main ship of mankind was killed and the villain (I forgot his name) came down with a robot to fight with the protagonist, I had no desire to watch. This is a classic Hollywood hero movie routine. James Cameron's film, which took 12 years, finally ended with a hero defeating the devil, and the beauty held by the protagonist came back. I am very disappointed. If the ending becomes that the protagonist is captured and sent back to earth, Pandora is destroyed, and the last shot is that human beings discover a new beautiful planet and discover mineral deposits, and then the screen slowly falls, and the effect will be much better and thought-provoking. Tragedy like Titanic is even more memorable. Respondent: 33252333 | Level 1 | 20 10-2-24 2 1:42 | Reporting.

Pandora, a dreamy place, an indestructible place, because there is a tree of life and our hope. testimony

This film mainly tells the battle between human beings and local aborigines to exploit the minerals of Pandora. After watching the movie, the first feeling is that human beings are too selfish. The attack on Nami people can be expressed by a hot word in today's society, that is, violent demolition. Its practice is very similar to that of some local governments. The demolition of old houses is not only compulsory, but also violent. Didn't you say that we should build a harmonious society? Is this a harmonious way? Didn't you say that we should build a democratic society? Is this a democratic practice? This film satirizes the practices of some local governments.

When I watched the tree of life collapse, I was very excited. I thought about the environment of the earth. Isn't that what we humans do to Mother Earth? We are destroying our home bit by bit. The earth, like the God of Nami, gives us everything selflessly, while we destroy her like the human beings in the film. You know, the earth is our only home. If it is destroyed, we will disappear.

Nami's love for home and admiration for life moved me very much. Nami people's understanding of survival is that the earth gives them life and will return it to the earth after death. But after they kill animals, they will do something similar to crossing over, which shows how great their hearts are! Reflection on us humans, no matter what animals, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, we eat as long as we can eat. I especially like to eat those endangered animals. Wild animals, like us, are children of the earth. Why should we kill them? The more species are reduced, the closer human beings are to extinction.

The most attractive part of the film is also the soul pillar of the film, and that is love. More precisely, it is the power of love, which can transcend race and everything. Jack, the hero, is extremely dissatisfied with human behavior, and his love for West, the heroine, makes him stand on the same front with the people of Nami, and * * * resists human aggression, which also highlights justice regardless of race. Their love lit up the whole Pandora planet and awakened the tree of souls. Through the concerted efforts of all people and all living things, Qi Xin finally defeated mankind. Jack clearly knows that he will die, because human beings are extremely uncomfortable with Pandora's air, but he gave up his life and everything for love and Lucy, and his love will be immortal, just as the title says: "When one person dies, another person like himself will be born, so our spirit will never die."

Pandora, an indestructible place, a place full of hope, a place where love can transcend everything. Respondent: Jiong Yi-can | Level 2 | 20 10-2-27 06:5 1 | Report.

When I walked out of the cinema, I rubbed my eyes confused by 3D movies and looked at the green deciduous trees with swaying branches in the street, almost treating them as sacred trees.

Why not? These trees, these tall and short trees, the trees in the shrub family, the trees with evergreen leaves, and the trees with bare quilts are all sacred trees. They have developed roots, their thoughts are silent rather than absent, and they can talk, as long as you listen attentively. They decide the survival of mankind, and they decide the survival of the earth. Their history is unknown, but their future is looming-seeing some bulldozers in a trance, seeing them fall, seeing tears and blood rain.

The Na 'vi on Pandora are not invaders who tear down the sacred tree and build houses. They love the holy tree more than life. Every trace of destruction makes them palpitation, angry and rebellious.

The competition is almost transparent. They trust others, even others; They help others, even their enemies. Their love and hate are clear, and they do not hesitate to express their appreciation and disgust.

I don't know if you have seen the shadow of prehistoric earth people in them.

Yes, we were so simple, clean and beautiful thousands of years ago. However, after a difficult choice, we gave up listening to the silence of the sacred tree and harvested the noise of the tall building. We used to .....

Although the creatures there are fierce, powerful and grumpy, they attack Jack only because of the peace here. They are more defensive than offensive. They are used to the cover of mimosa and the silence of the night. Namilun, an indigenous tribe living in the rainforest, is kind and friendly, united and friendly, honest and brave, and has the nature of psychic nature, and is sheltered by the goddess Eve. Within two days, Jack was deeply moved by the sincerity and friendliness of the tribesmen, fell in love with the leader's daughter who saved his life and taught him language and survival skills, and felt that being a member of the tribe was both safe and warm.

I think, after a series of thrilling adventures in the jungle, all the audience in the cinema and I were "brainwashed" like Jack. We gradually eliminated the violent "beast" on ourselves and restored the warm "humanity" that was constantly lost in the process of consumer civilization.
