The statements she makes are all for catching eyebrows... no real identification with the cause needed. Give her anything the Indian state is doing and she will take a stand against it.

Here's why:<br />1. By naming the movie Avataar, he's got all the Indians watching<br />2. By bashing the U.S. Army and portraying their green, the middle east and chinese<br />3. By taking technology and the film viewing experience to 'another level of reality'; pretty much everyone else; primarily the tech-heads<br />4. While he was at it he also told Africans and Native Americans that a lot of concepts were borrowed form their idea of spirituality.<br /><br />What more do you want?<br />He can have Martians watching it if he wantedSharanyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708214455091757892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-15368812910391289342010-01-26T03:11:26.341+05:302010-01-26T03:11:26.341+05:30Avatar has to be simple.

I read"God..." at a time in my life when I was most impacted by it. Though, I have to admit,I think she does need to get back to her original job i.e. writing if she wants to keep making political statements that will register her on the consciousness of us short attention span Gen Y-ers.<br /><br />As for Avataar, I didn't look for too much of a heavy story in Avataar. Of course it's overtly simplistic in it's themes and pedantic style, (the mineral they're looking for is called "Unobtanium"..I mean, COME ON!),I'm afraid that people went and saw it with a lot of distorted expectations because what the film is, is a triumph in film making technology. We as a movie watching audience having been pampered with some fantastic CGI and animation. And This movie is a culmination of that.

This story works or its spiritual message, its message of ancient vs the modern, theeee traditional and ancient vs the new,science vs spirituality, man vs machine, and is very relevant in todays time of conflict and cimate change!An amazing film , which rises above the ordinary with the universality of its theme, and that explains its success in India.A movie like this dosent need a tight storyline, it is self explanatory.sonalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03364345241002574203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-5955492947972973542010-01-24T11:41:58.659+05:302010-01-24T11:41:58.659+05:30The article about Arundhti roy is a good one.

And I'm all dusty... Unlike me, people around are big "consumers" of Indian lit and they tell me the book is definitely somewhere... Well, I couldn't find the goddamn jewel... But I'll soon get the book and read it... Stumbled across something promising though, which I never read: <i>The In-Between World of Vikram Lall</i> (M.G. Vassanji): never heard of the author (the extent of my ignorance indeed, and I don't even know whether the book is worth mentioning in this context)... But the name of the author and the title of the book sound Indian to me!... On the other hand, there were 2 copies of <i>The Namesake</i> (never even saw the movie, btw)! Go figure why...<br /><br />Talking of movie, I watched <i>Avatar</i> too and I liked the common mortals I was bedazzled by the special effects at first, till my daughter made about the same comment as you by saying: <i>"The story line is flat!"</i>... Well, you said they don't read, but they know the stuff it takes to concoct a good story: video games maybe... This being said, did you hear about the uncanny coordinated reactions of the Vatican and the Chinese authorities? The former gave the thumbs down for promoting the worship of nature and the latter just pulled the movie from Chinese theaters after a few days without any explanation. Conventional wisdom claims the Communist Party felt uncomfortable about the underlying message of the rise-of-the-oppressed-masses that the movie contains... So, just for that reason, please do give kudos to Cameron... :-)Alex Engwetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12656045897777865794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-59127334316065663412010-01-23T23:32:28.908+05:302010-01-23T23:32:28.908+05:30sobhaaji,
