Film Review :
Avatar, A Humanist Call from Mt. Hollywood by Gilad Atzmon
Avatar may well be the biggest anti War film of all time.
It stands against everything the West is identified with.
It is against greed and capitalism, it is against interventionalism, it is against colonialism and imperialism,
it is against technological orientation, it is against America and Britain.
It puts Wolfowitz, Blair and Bush on trial without even mentioning their names.
It enlightens the true meaning of ethics as a dynamic judgmental process rather than fixed moral guidelines (such as the Ten Commandments or the 1948 Human Right Declaration).
It throws a very dark light on our murderous tendencies towards other people, their belief and rituals.
But it doesn’t just stop there.
In the same breath, very much like German Leben philosophers (1), it praises the power of nature and the attempt to bond in harmony with soil, the forest and the wildlife.
It advises us all to integrate with our surrounding reality rather than impose ourselves on it.
Very much like German Idealists and early Romanticists, it raises questions to do with essence, existence and the absolute.
It celebrates the true meaning of life and livelihood.
It is pretty astonishing and cheering to discover Hollywood paving the way to the victorious return of German philosophical thought.
Audiences Experience ‘Avatar’ Blues
James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.
On the fan forum site “Avatar Forums,” a topic thread entitled “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible,” has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope. The topic became so popular last month that forum administrator Philippe Baghdassarian had to create a second thread so people could continue to post their confused feelings about the movie.
“I wasn’t depressed myself. In fact the movie made me happy ,” Baghdassarian said. “But I can understand why it made people depressed. The movie was so beautiful and it showed something we don’t have here on Earth. I think people saw we could be living in a completely different world and that caused them to be depressed.”

It enlightens the true meaning of ethics as a dynamic judgmental process rather than fixed moral guidelines (such as the Ten Commandments or the 1948 Human Right Declaration).
this statement in the review would be enough for me to not see this crap.I suppose the commandments are outdated are to strict.We need something easier to allow for homosexuality,murder,adultery,abortion and so on.I also wont see the movie because avatar is the name of a hindu demon god,coincidence?This might seem like a harmless,escapism movie,but if I have learnt anything nothing is as it seems.
An Avatar in Hindu philosophy is an enlightened being who returns to inhabit a human form….wanker
And Avatar is a thinly veiled euphemism for the evil colonial crap continuing to unfold in south west asia.
I can assure you that very few of the ten commandments are being followed there.
If homosexuality bothers you more than slow gradualised genocide – then it’s likely we are having different conversations.
You may just want to ditch those commandments and try to “treat others as you wish to be treated” and then see where that takes you.
avatar refers to vishnu a god like creature celebrated in hinduism you satanist.As for the commandments I suppose dont bear false witness,dont kill,dont steal,dont betray your spouse etc are all very offensive to people with no moral compass or compassion for others,So save your atheist,bolshevik diatribes for the pagan sheep.Eh mate.
(satanist?)
If christianity was really going to work then it would have worked by now.
Obviously, something else is required.
While you are sitting on the pews today – along with the rest of your dwindleing flock – try and keep the idea in your head that the bible is a control document that evolves.
The First Testament reads like a spoilt mafia brat’s teenage tantrum.
You’ll find it’s not exactly a good book to model your moral standards on.
It’s all ’smoteing’ and sulking – and America isn’t mentioned once.
Armaggeddon is named after Megiddo in Israel – not far from where a whole bunch of well funded human failures are consistently ignoring not only the lessons from the trauma of history – but also anything positive or humanistic from their own scriptures.
You would think that the first testament would be the only one that anyone would ever need – but no – it got tweaked.
Repeatedly.

Brian Souter, Axis of Logic correspondent in Australia sends us this with a cheeky review of the film
http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_58207.shtml
Hey Scotty, there is not God.
opps. Hey Scotty, there is no God.
By god – do you mean a judeo-christian god ?
Or something else ?
Hey Dragoslav, moral behaviour is evolved. It does not have a supernatural origin.
Have you stoned any adulterers lately?
Scott. All supernatural beings, auras, life forces, chi etc are just childish imaginings.
If you say so.
