There is no way one cannot relate what ‘Avatar’ is really about except with the Iraq war. I have seen that movie twice so far and I do not exaggerate if I say I can see it a third, fourth and maybe fifth time. There was just so much resemblance in the storyline that resembles the havoc that war caused upon me and my country.This article puts it in better words. The film director, James Cameron told the Times, “We went down a path that cost several hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. I don’t think the American people even know why it was done. So it’s all about opening your eyes.”
This afternoon, I came across this article which mentioned that CNN came out with a detailed report on the intense depression that the movie is causing among a certain segment of fans.
After I saw the movie I did not feel depressed, maybe because I witnessed what the natives in the film went through in reality! It was like Déjà vu for me.
Overall, the movie is a must-see even if you don’t like science fiction. The story is powerful and mind-blowing, not to mention how amazing 3D movies are!
