Avatar movie

A couple of weeks ago I saw this movie, called “Avatar”, I’m pretty sure everyone knows about it. It created a big deal in marketing , because the movie was directed by the same guy that directed “Titanic”; personally I didn’t like Avatar that much. But, I’m not writing to critic the movie; what this post is about the bottom message of this movie. I understood that the movie is trying to put you in the shoes of those people whom are native to a certain place and all of a sudden someone stronger is trying to take what they love away. Like always, predators of society are always looking for resources, raw materials; and because of their greediness they don’t care what they crush if they get what they want.
In Avatar we got this beautiful land called “Pandora” which contains a material that results to be very expensive and gives some kind of energy or something, I really don’t remember about it, but that is the general deal. So humans, (the villains) are trying to get it, and at the end, everything results in war, in which the natives result winning.
So, I think it’s really cool that they are trying to give this kind of message using really cool graphics and special effects, so ALL OF US really understand the message, and start to change our crazy ways.

Human Behavior & Movies

Yesterday I went to my grandmother’s house and she was watching an old movie and I joined her to watch it and while I was watching it I noticed that they are way different from ours. I’m not talking about special effects and all that because they have changed a lot; but I’m talking about the behavior that all the characters have, they are so different from the ones in the present.

To start they are so polite, they talk with so much respect to their relatives and the people that is bigger. Their fights are kind of just discussions; the man is kind of gentleman that sees the woman as the perfect figure and tries to inspire love in her by telling poems and all that stuff. In comparison with the present movies that the characters talk to each other as normal, without respect, now it is easier make a woman fall in love.

With all these characteristics I tried make a little bit clearer that when people changes behaviors, movies do the same, to make us feel that they are normal activities. And so other times they change our behaviors, because we take movies as examples for our lives and that’s where my question is: What happened? The movies changed our antecessors? Or their behavior changed movies? Here we can also notice that human behavior changes so quickly that from one decade something can be correct but the next decade can be wrong.
