Avatar etc.

I have seen Alien by Ridley Scott and Avatar by Cameron. The first movie Aliens was pretty good but only near the end. The final scene was quite poetic. Watching Sigourney Weaver push the creature out of the ship was done in a fairly slow but peaceful way. One couldn't feel anything but entranced by that scene. Avatar was pretty predictable and didn't take much mental prowess to understand. It had no real way to make you become interested in it.. Irt was supposed to be a 3-D film. The past of 3D films has not been very filled with quality. They have always been more involved with wowing the viewer with images popping out of the screen and making the film maker look like some kind of innovator. Real innovation is when the director and writers present a new way to look at humanity.

Avatar was nothing like the great movies of Bergman who understood humanity and its various twists and turns. He had no need for huge production budgets. One movie I did see from last year is Precious. This movie far outshone Avatar. The movie involved us as humans to care about someone. The main character in this movie showed her ability to shine even though the main people in her life tried to drag her down. The resolve of Precious at the end of the movie leaves you feeling good about her.
