that was the film posed to me as I watched the film. With ideas such as; hope, new world, service, prayer, teaching and training, hell, trust, relationship, rescue and many others-it does beg the question what director james cameron had in mind as he wrote the film.
What stretched my mind:
Was it that the leader of the rescue was both fully human and fully avatar (go with me on this)
Was it that once you have been born again you are part of 'The People'
Was it the training that got my mind thinking of apprenticeships and ministry and the importance of sharing life together while having the source of life at the centre
Was it the hostility shown towards 'The People' and their source of life-the way the world tries to rid the world of the true source of life
or was it wondering what James Cameron had smoked and drank to write the story of random blue people and to produce amazing special effects?
A man named Augustine once used the phrase 'visible words' and this film certainly got me thinking about so many different biblical themes in a visual, tangible way.
I went to the movie to experience the 3d, to see good special effects and avoid the fact it was about blue people but as the movie went on, my mind was racing with various ideas and being part of God's people, sadly for me, I really got into the story line and so came out with the experience of 3d, saw unbelievable special effects and loved the blue people.
Seeing is believing, and I suppose this rang true for me with a lot of hesitation and doubt before seeing this picture, but I was not disappointed by the end.
Whether you like blue people or not, this is a movie to definitely watch on the big screen with those geeky looking glasses on, it could get your mind racing about so many things, not just the phenomenal graphics and design, or it could have you wondering what Cameron was smoking when he wrote it?
Either way, it beats sitting in and talking more about the weather....
