Avatar

On the 24th of January I've watched James Cameron's "Avatar" in 3D at "ДК Москва", a local movie theater.
Unfortunately, due to my bad eyesight I could not appreciate 3D effects, but I did appreciate some of the movie ideas.
The movie distinctly displayed the world of unity where every creature takes its part in the planet's life. I've met similar concept in Isaac Azimov's "Foundation" series.
I liked the idea of those flying creatures that you have to tame to fly on. It makes clear that the world is pretty complete, you don't need to fight it to live in, instead, you should learn how to live with it. As you learn the world you become more skilled and can tame higher level creatures like that big read flying one.
I think this is a hint for ourselves: don't fight the nature, but instead, learn it and live with it, and you may gain much higher level abilities than you would otherwise.
The other thing from the same topic sounded from the avatar that said: "Look at those people from the sky, they haven't left any green on their own planet and gonna do the same to us". That's painfully true. We traded something more precious for comfort, but I don't know what yet.
Finally, the last thought I had after watching the movie was that of the main character. When you understand something others don't understand, you're left all alone and isolated. They may even become your enemies.
So I can say "Avatar" is a great movie with great thoughts. Other people will surely find other ideas as well, because everyone sees what he wants to see :)
