watching Avatar in class was the first time seeing the film. I had heard the ravings and rantings for it and how good it was, as well as seen how many awards it won at the grammys. Upon watching the whole film, i can totally see why it won all those awards as well as opinions. This was by far a momumental movie not only for the storyline, but also the digital effects and cinematography as well. The characters seemed as if they were real people, i could barely tell the difference other then the fact that the navi people were half animal half human.

As the story goes, you can see a resemblance to American history and how the English people took the land from the native american indians in order to make themselves more propserous, which was basically the same idea the Americans in Avatar had while on Pandora. Even my Anthropology teacher said that they should show this film to American History students because it is so similar in what happened many years before;; this only goes to show that history repeats itself.
I was in awe of how the planet Pandora looked and the different culture that the Navi people had. After watching this movie it made me feel really bad about the world that we live in, because in Avatar their world was so simple, and made of beautiful colors, and culture was kept as key. Here it is not so much like that, we have buildings everywhere and the sky is the typical blue and the ground is the typical dirty. Our ground doesnt light up at night, which was another cool effect i liked in the film. Of course one cant make a film without bringing in the factor of love, and the love story in this film particularly interested me due to the fact that it wasnt 100% real; this is why at the end, when the military guy is changed permanently into a Navi member, it made me so happy that he could finally be one of them without having to wake up to reality back at planet Earth.
This movie was by far one of the best ive seen so far this year. It was so real, and invigorating. It made me want to be one of the Navi people and live amongst their ways as well. I recomend this movie to everyone of all ages, because in some way or another everyone can relate to it. it is a beautiful story set in a beautiful world.
