It was a visual feast for me when we watched Avatar at Glorietta 4 last night. The graphics was stunning! The movement of the characters, the creatures in that world, the world itself — everything looked so good. And the background music was great. I love those elements in the movie.
As far as the story goes, I love the way that it focused on the relationships of people. Sure there was a lot of action going on. However what left a deep impression on me was that it showed how important relationships are. That it’s beyond 2 people or a small group of people. Everyone’s connected somehow. As a moderately introverted person, it gives a bigger picture than what I am used to. I’d rather be with a small group of friends and focus there. But you see, as time goes by I also realize that there are things that matter to the collective. And that there are things that you must thwart or retain in order to have some kind of harmony and/or balance in the community.
Another thing I liked about Avatar is that it reminds me to understand people more. I know I am closed minded and judgmental but I don’t want to go to the extreme ends that those guys in the movie did. Tsk. They just wanted to gain something for their own good but not realize that there’s so much harm for the rest. And for the rest who will be affected, I was encouraged to fight for the things I believe in. During these days, especially with the corruption in government and all that crap, I feel the need all the more.
So yes, I definitely liked Avatar. It had some flaws too but the overall enjoyment wasn’t ruined for me.
