Avatar the movie vs. the "meaning"

"Avatar": The movie

I am probably the only one on the planet that thinks this movie is a DUD!

I get tired of all the special affects used now...that yes, are awesome...but without a deep story-line,are distracting! Digital-awe when "depended on" by the director......shows weakness.

Heck I thought "Dances with Wolves"....(which is basically the same theme used in "Avatar")....at least gave us a message with depth. "Avatar" used the same story/format and fell flat. Bummer.

Jeez...I hope people take the chance to google the word Avatar and understand it's true meaning re: the Divine and Spirituality. Jesus was an Avatar - and many faiths believe he was not the only one. But, I'm guessing the movie does bring home good points to a large group of people.

I LOVED the side references to George Bush "shock and awe"...and the U.S. taking the step of using preemptive strikes as a new U.S policy/concept (i.e., totally about the Iraqi invasion by the US).

Ok call me crazy to not have liked this movie....but I'd rather focus on the positive. So, I'm hoping, yes, the movie will wake up the minds of the majority to understand that it is the indiginous wisdom that will save the planet and ourselves. If you are into it...check out the book "Grandmothers Council the World".

If you are a grandmother, I'm pretty sure you know what is like to have your heart opened by the birth of a grand child. Gotta give it to those grandmothers. The book is about the 13 indigenous grandmothers who found one another in 2000...and started meeting in 2004.

Time to listen to them. Perhaps the movie will get people thinking....and maybe reading this book...instead of only being dazzled by incredible digital cinema.

I AM loving the book I mention vs. the "shock and awe" of digital movie-making. Especially with the fact that we are only 2 years away from 2012 - when a new time is prophecied to begin. Just ask those grand-mothers!
