Let's face as well, James Cameron is an author with a lowercase "a". Creator of unimaginable fascination, a maker of magical visions and fantasy worlds. Always a step ahead. Mastermind behind the paths of celestial Terminator and Aliens , The Abyss and Terminator 2 . Even capable of 'moving beyond' the simple story of love, shipwreck technological imagination of the Titanic and flying in helicopters from catastrophic fire in rubbish True Lies. Avatar , almost ten years of preparation and hype unusual, is his most accomplished. As well as passes for the final who believes the turning point of the Seventh Art. From the vision comes out in the hall if stunned, not only for the grandiose (and intrusive) stereoscopy. Even after half an hour because of the wrap-around computer screens, the army engineering space and the pristine nature of Pandora (identical to the works of Roger Dean, you know the album covers for Yes?), Leave space considerations, scattered, often annoying.
First observation: the screenplay. Avatar film is trivial. A mixture of Dances with Wolves, Braveheart 300 sauce and sci-fi. History simple and schematic. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a marine with no legs, the brother of a scientist and a team headed by Dr. Augustine (Sigourney Weaver, nice to see that smoke in their lungs!) Has developed the project Avatar. To mark the program which is a mental life of the body (the avatar, of course) created in the image and likeness of Na'vi population that inhabits the planet Pandora. Everything's fine until you discover that the sacred tree of Na'vi resides on a field that is worth all the energy of the universe. Hence the long hands of the government and army to infiltrate Sully and "convince" the natives to "donate" the wealth. Obvious that the contact with people from the soul so pure it will be for the young soldier to be reborn at a new life and fight for the liberation of what he considers his new world. Long live peace and cooperation among the nations, even some snakes heroism made in the USA and is always a time of heroes (U.S.). Each other like the characters so flat, pace of references to current socio-political American (or global) and the symbolic resonance (pantheism and animism of carry-over) leaving the time they find. So much so that the only character to emerge is the most disgusting bully, that Colonel Quarich played by Stephen Lang who is all action and reaction. Involved from start to look. Cuts, scratches and fractures included.
said the substance remains the form. The 3D is an amazing toy. The dive into the depth of vision is something amazing. A sense of reality and fantasy ever. The colors, plants, animals, movements. Even the trajectories of projectiles. And then, more than is justified the simplicity of the subject's eye is so drawn and "distracted" that rarely come on time and how to think about anything else. Besides, there is no room for mythology in the nuances. However, doubts soon emerged. The three-dimensional world is the true revolution of cinema? No. At least if in the future will not be supported due to the 'pulp' fiction. The Pixar animation teaches. The real news will tell a story with a similar method. Avatar seems rather the investment of major combat piracy and to bring people (especially boys) to the movies. In the words of Edgar Morin, a return to the cinema cinema. A phantasmagoria century flavor, as the famous train that was run by the Lumière salt people afraid. But Avatar is - at least in Italy - the representation of anthropological and social tragedy that we live in this first decade of 2000. Hordes of kids stuffed hot dog, coke and stupid comments, mothers and fathers who fail to curb the intrusiveness of misbehaving children, people who are not entering into a room at least twenty years; applause at the end projection model trip by plane, leaving the teenagers viewed with 3D glasses and find them so the street or by tram. Sorry to think that this is a sideshow that produces the show. Pure smoke and mirrors. Not the Cinema.
to applaud you only have operators who, with € 10.15 per ticket are rubbing their hands with a grinning pair of designer glasses.
