The highest grossing movie ever. So far anyway. I am sure one day something will beat it. I have heard a lot of guff about it but people also loved it or it wouldn't have hit such staggering attendance. I watched it and thought it was a grown up version of Fern Gulley. I loved Fern Gulley. It has a good message and is entertaining to watch. So was Avitar. Okay the costumes were skimpy but the visual effects were so amazing.
James Cameron has vision for sure. I watched an interview before the Oscars when he was talking about the film. He said he dreamed about the visuals when he was a young man. He described one of the scenes as fantasmagorical. I looked it up on the internet and not really knowing how to spell such a word I found it in the urban dictionary spelled fantamagorical and defined as a mixture of the words fantastic, amazing and magical. However I found the word spelled phantasmagorical in the Mirriam Webster online dictionary as "1 : an exhibition of optical effects and illusions 2 a : a constantly shifting complex succession of things seen or imagined b : a scene that constantly changes 3 : a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage." No matter how you spell it Mr. Cameron is right. It was an amazing, magical, fantastic, complex, collection of visual effects that sucked me in to the movie and kept me there.
I disagree with the critics that said it put humans in a bad light. It wasn't talking about all humans being greedy, mercenaries. I disagree with the critics that said it put the military in a bad light. Mercenaries are not the military. Anyone in the military will tell you they are not in it for the money. They are in it to serve and protect the freedoms we all love about America. I love the service men and women and the work they do. I pray that one day soon they all come home safe. I am grateful to those who put their lives on the line to make sure we can continue to live free and that the people they help in other countries as well. Thank you soldiers.
