Avatar - 2009

Big, big James Cameron film, everyone to the cinemas to see this marvellous 3D... well, I don't care much for 3D, I'll tell you, and I don't care much about this story either, but all in all didn't regret the ticket back then, because that world is beautiful , I liked it very much.
The story was full of reality, greedy men only thinking about taking what it's not theirs to take for their own use and profit (Giovanni Ribisi's character was really despiteful), and soldiers ready to take it for them. This soldier, Jake Sully, is a paraplegic, so of course he enjoys being in an avatar body, perfectly understandable, and yet it takes him a lot of time, a life threatening situation and a pretty girl to get him to start thinking about understanding and respecting another society. He jumps in, starts talking to Neytiri as if she was dumb because she didn't know his language (quite mistaken too, because she does, he just supposed that she didn't), and when brought to their place he starts acting as if he was in his hometown. There are many societies on this planet where his behaviour would have been disrespectful, but he acted as if it was them who had to understand him, not the other way around. He starts talking when more important people are talking, which is considered rude at the very least in every society, even his. He thrust out his hand to the chief, as if he were simply meeting another guy, which is not something you do in that situation in a lot of places here on Earth, and reacts as if it was them being strange and absurd reacting as they are. Arrogant.
He even tells everything he saw to his people, when he wakes up. They gave him an honor, and he tells everything about it to the people that had been denied that same honor.
I didn't like Jake Sully (although of course he redeems himself at the end by fighting with them and helping saving them) or the human beings in this film. Grace (Sigourney Weaver) wasn't bad, she was the only one that probably cared, and also the soldier girl played by Michelle Rodriguez was kind of a hero, but all the others were awful.
Things I liked? Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana, but only seen in her blue avatar, which in her case is not an avatar, though, since that's her natural body), she was cool, I liked her a lot, although of course she had to fall in love with Jake, every one of these movies require that.
And I loved the world, their world, so beautiful, full of nature, without cement, bricks, smog, nothing, only nature and wonderful, beautiful trees. It was beautiful when she ran. Everywhere you looked the world was amazing, the trees, the plants, the nature living with them, not fighting each other as we do on Earth.
That's why I didn't regret paying a ticket to watch it. Even if I didn't like the story, what I saw was so beautiful it made up for everything.
