The issue with Avatar is it will be dependent on China to make it's money back. And you are talking about not just one sequel but 4. Not to get too political on the boards but with way things are changing with the WH I could see some issues with American movies playing in China few years down the road.
I agree- you're acting as if I think that avatar is as iconic as potter and as timeless as potter and has the staying power of potter. I think none of those things haha- simply stating I was 0% excited when they announced Pandora, and now I'm pretty excited. Sorry to ruin your day haha
That's odd
No no. You're fine.
well saidNo no. You're fine.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is an in depth study of the human experience's facination with nature.
Dinosaurs are a reflection of our fascination with the untamed and wild. They were here and now are gone. The only thing keeping them alive is our curiosity.
Africa and Asia are the real and physical animals of today running up against society and humanity. Those areas tend to focus coexistence and learning to appreciate nature.
BK was representative of how man used to look at nature and make sense of a frightening world. Dragons, Unicorns, and Magic were all humanity's way of rationalizing a world that didn't make sense. Where stepping out in the woods could mean your doom. The weather could make or break you subsistence. Unexplained illness could ravage society.
That's how humanity viewed a more frightening and unexplainable world.
Avatar is an interesting case. In a way it's reflective of a fear that has consumed the public. A scenario of what if we wreck everything? What happens then? Resisting power in potentially violent ways is the solution the movie comes to.
This film isn't set on Earth, nor is it a celebration of mankind's cultural and physical run ins with nature. It's set as a distant far off place where lessons can be learned.
To the team's credit, they've been working overtime to make Avatar as Earthlike as possible. They brought a new level of depth and coherence to the franchise. I personally think one of the biggest winners of this land will be Cameron, who has had to sit down and hash out in depth how his world works. It's one thing to animate a fantasy rainforest, it's another to get down and ask how does it work?
Like I said, I still don't like it at Disney's Animal Kingdom nor do I think it fits. I do on the other hand obviously realize this will be one of the landmark lands in the world.
There's enough room for a middle ground, and that's where I stand.
No no. You're fine.
