Yesterday I squeezed in some time to watch this highly anticipated movie and fortunately, it met and exceeded my expectation. While many may sideline it calling it a fantasy movie, I was touched at a deeper level at the emotions involved.
Some people did get the impression that James Cameroon has created this movie as a symbolic gesture towards the destruction caused by American Greed. It is a repetetion of what Americans did with so many of the Latin American countries. Millions lost their life and livelihood in the service to the Capitalistic masters. In fact at some points of time, I felt that the General spoke just the same words George W Bush spoke during his period as the president of United States .
Coming back to my Experience. I Was more moved by the idea of Idea of Oneness of all the things. The scene where the Heroine shows her grief when she reluctantly kills the dog like things chasing the Hero is quite moving. The remorse felt is so real. It is in startk contrast to the now famous Human skills of take whatever you want away and have no regrets. Incidentally Human being s are the only creatures that kills for reason other than food.
Coming back to track, after my CET workshop with Paula, I feel so much peaceful to be in Harmony with nature. In my Aha walks, I can feel the oneness and this movie just helped me drive the point home stronger…
It is like watching Matrix for the first time…..
if you have not watched it yet…. make sure you do….it is really worth it.
