I was surprised to find out that so many people did not understand the deeper meaning in Avatar. As the credits rolled I was still mesmerized by the way this age old struggle was portrayed. It was disappointing to see that many in the movie audience seemed to be walking out as if they too felt the “experience” was over and they did not seem to be affected by the message at all. I thought that this movie could make a difference in how people viewed their world, but based on what I saw in the theater that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

I hoped that people would see the deeper meaning of what happens when two different groups come together with preconceived ideas. The harder they try to hold on to their old beliefs the harder it would be to actually understand the others point of view. This is something that we as humans have been working on forever. Perhaps the reason people were unable to see the message is that they seemed to be unable identify the Navi as anything other than fictional characters.

The idea that this film can be used for so many different conflicts in the past is perhaps too vague for people to understand without having a discussion either before or after viewing. I think that if we were to use this film in classrooms to discuss past and current issues we would see this movie as the “To Kill a Mocking Bird” of our time. The beauty of this film is the ability to apply any “face” to the Navi and to show us that the struggles that we have fought and won in the past and the current struggles that we are facing all have the same core issues.

It is terrible that the concept was lost on the masses. I can only hope that through conversations such as these that we are able to change people’s minds about the movie and use the viewing “experience” to our advantage.

Stylistically the film is a confusing, garish mishmash of gritty urban realism and hyper-stylised fantasy sequences. However, these glimpses behind Precious’s otherwise impassive facade are effective

I do not believe I contradicted myself. The first sentence are two facts about the film. It is a traditional animation, and it is a musical. The second sentence is stating my personal opinion on one of them. I might have enjoyed Disney musicals as a kid, but I no longer do. When I use the term traditional animation, I am using the proper term for 2D animation, classical animation, cel animation, or hand-drawn animation. To compare it to other forms of animation such as computer/3D/CGI animation or stop motion, or many other forms. Traditional Animations do not necessarily mean it has to be a musical. Disney is the only one that does this. When I say “traditional way of telling a story now” I do not mean “traditional animation”. A musical is not a traditional way to tell a story. I back up my argument of not liking musicals with the next few sentences and it shows you how musicals are not a traditional way to tell a story.

Not only is The Princess And The Frog a return to traditional animation, but also the classical idea of it being a musical.

It might of been fun when I was a kid, but I enjoy a more traditional way of telling a story now.

= kinda contradictory.
