Suicide fantasy in Avatar?
|
I walked out of the cinema, it was LAME.
.
Hmm, blue people, shooty mechs, 'splody bombs, doo dah day it was a good movie for me! I totally wanted to go cross species with that blue chick! Yeah, the tribal mother, she was feckin' hot! Maybe fiction is just fiction and the "message" behind it should be laughed at.
On a different note my mother said something along the lines of, "See those blue people believe in god." To wit I replied, "Um, if I could connect to god and my ancestors through a nerve cluster on the back of my head you better believe I would believe too!" Just a movie guys! Rhizo 
i actualy loved Avatar when i watched it, only coz alot of the creatures looked like dragons, and the effects were AMAZING. i also loved the storyline too, and all the way through the movie, i was like "omg its about time that guy died!" pretty much my reaction to any movie i like
Vampires will never hurt you.......
I thought it was ok.
The whole conflict on consicence plot was strong. The savages were a lot more noble than they were savage on this planet. 
I just looked at the story and thought "Dances with Wolves".

My primary consort watched it... and loved it... :S So now I have to watch it
Define 'savages'? And also 'Noble'? Then I might somehow understand what a 'noble savage fallacy' is? Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

I'd also like to know what a "Noble Savage" fallacy is.
Great movie, i don't think it has a suiside fantasy thing happening, and find this a very strange thing to take from this movie.....
 
I loved this movie and it totally reminded me of what was done to the American Indians in the U.S. I did like the Nav'is love for nature and all living things and found that their religion was very similar to that of the native americans. There is no suicide message here at least in my view and how anyone would get that is beyond me, unless you are contemplating suicide yourself. The main character fell in love with the aliens and their way of life and he had to die to become one of them. He as myself became disgusted with his species and his poeple.
