Besides, subliminal ads I have read do not work. If some kid sees this movie and then joins green peace, its because he was already a tree hugger to begin with.
We are going to finally see it this afternoon. I’m not expecting a great story, but I’m excited about the special effects.
I found the objections to Avatar fairly weak. It’s pretty much entertainment, is how I see it.
The big irony of course is that they do trash our reliance on business and technology... and the stunningly beautiful graphical tale that does so was made possible, 100%, by... our reliance on business and technology.
You won’t regret it. I didn’t.
“I personally am looking forward to a movie like Avatar that erks leftists the same way. “
You are going to wait a very looooooooooong time.
How would you rate a movie with “great special effects” that also portrayed your spouse as a whore?
Really, my only concern is if I will get motion sick. I never used to but I do occasionally now, and when we went to see Night at the Museum at the Imax the trailer for Transformers made me a little queezy. We’ll see. But I think it will be entertaining. :)
Thank you. Its good to see people on FR do not take these things seriously the way Rev. Robertson does.
Sounds like the same old same old from Hollywood to me.
Pocahantas with better graphics.
The people who made the movie sure take their leftist propaganda seriously.
Kimba the White Lion, The Lion King. James Bond, Perfect Dark. JR Tolkien's lord of the rings, Stephen King's the stand. Jim Henson's muppet movie, George Lucas's star wars.
Yesterday I saw Avatar in Imax-3D. It was the most awesome film I’ve ever seen when it comes to special effects . I didn’t care if it showed a civilization of tree huggers against overwhelming forces acting as mercenaries for mining corporations.
The film reminded me of Silent Running ( Bruce Dern) mixed with Star Wars where the Ewoks won the day.
The film also showed how a non-technological society could possibly defeat a force armed to the teeth with modern warfare weapons.
Take this into account if the $hit hits the fan in the near future.(Wolverines)
Many times during the film I thought of how sad it was that Thomas Edison could not see this milestone in motion picture production.
I attended college in the sixties when war not peace and Earth Day came into being . It didn’t affect me or my wife in any way to change our views which were major anti SDS.
Kids are bombarded all the time with propaganda. Sometimes it works and sometime it doesn’t.
The left has its propaganda as well as the right and “moderates”. Those with the most believable message will usually win.
IMHO I hope the Halfrican fails as well as millions of other sane Americans. Only time will tell. This means I hope the propaganda from my side wins .
In the meantime, if you haven’t seen the film ,most definitely do(esp. in Imax-3D). Get ready to sit back and go for the celluloid ride of your life .
I hope I live long enough to see the sequel. Sholud be even better if Cameron is able to push the envelope even further in production of films .
REMEMBER-its only a movie !
Your inability to see anything subversive behind the trash coming out of Hollywood is directly proportional to your faith. It is your weak faith that will cause you to see nothing wrong with the Antichrist and his mark when it gets here.
Judaism and Christianity looks for a Messiah, Islam looks for a Mahdi, while Hinduism, the eastern religions, occultism, and New Agers look for an Avatar. Christianity, Bible believing Christianity, that is, believes Christ is the true Messiah. These other religions, call it Avatar or whatever, are but false messiahs, false Christs, antichrists, in other words.
All Cameron did was use the New Age, eastern religion, occult world for his Antichrist. He sure fooled you. You are a prime candidate for the real Avatar, or Antichrist.
Correction on one of my sentences. It should have said:
The messiahs of these other religions, call it Avatar or whatever, are but false messiahs, false Christs, Antichrists, in other words.
As long as they had a white man acting as their war leader, the ability to fly on giant beasts and enough magical trees to bring them back to life if anything goes wrong. ;0)
(PS: I thought the movie was spectacular with a dopey story that didn't make me feel very threatened as a Conservative.)
I am a scifi film and I have no interest in seeing Pocahantas Blue in Space
Cool. Which scifi film are you?
lol.
Scifi FAN... hehhe
