This is my first post on this forum (and I guess it will turn out to be covering the most of your screen) , so a small introduction of who I am and why I am here might be in order. I'm a big fan of Avatar (more on that further down). I live in Norway, and not finished with school yet. Got by this thread by chance, and I've spent my spare time today reading through all 78 pages you have written (in the other thread).

My experience with Avatar
I saw it for the first time last Sunday in 3D. Well got the worst seat in the theatre (the only one left), and I was totally, TOTALLY hooked through the whole movie. My brain was working overtime, trying to process what I saw. It's like the movie is built in a lot of layers which you break down, one each time you saw the movie. A new layer of information and emotions every time you watch it that is. (This last part is something I'm guessing about; what impression I've got about it.)

Back on topic. When I went out of the theatre, I felt this depression and emptiness creeping up my neck. Suddenly, a thought, a dream, popped up in my head. What would it have been like to have a role in Avatar where you play a human character who also is an avatar driver? How would it be like, discussing the movie with Cameron himself? How would it be like, having a chance of adding something to the genuine story?

Although I've got tremendous problems about even thinking of being on a stage and be seen by 20-30 people, I actually wanted to play in the (probably) most epic sequel ever. Making the role mine, live like a Na'vi (literally) on the set… One of the moments in the movie that made me realize that I wanted to do this, was when Neytiri was crying over her lost father. The sound, the complete raw emotion… It was something I wanted to experience and express myself on a set and learn the Na'vi culture and language really from the inside. Add my dedication to the Avatar-universe and the millions of fans...

This is what I did the moment I got home after watching Avatar

Wondering how it would have been like, having a very own avatar in Avatar... Avatar 2, maybe?

I've had this thought in the back of my head since. Daydreaming about it has weakened my concentration a bit (NOT a good thing when at school). I still picture myself picking up the phone, with James Cameron on the other end. But there's just a tiny fracture of a chance that I'll even see the man in person. From distance.

Reality sucks.

I've browsed these forums for some hours now, and I must say, my depression is fading.

Seeing how so many people feel the exactly same thing do miracles.

When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed... grey. It was like my whole life, everything I've done and worked for, lost its meaning. Just the fact that a movie can do that to not just one people, but to so many people is extremely extraordinary.

Anyway, I bought the soundtrack digitally and have been listening for it non-stop now. It really helps. What helps me more though, is realising that I can actually discuss this with people who have the same problem.

I still reflect over my life though - I've spent the last 10 years sitting in front of a computer, studying game design (as I mentioned in a previous post). It just seems so... meaningless. I still don't really see any reason to keep... doing things at all. I live in a dying world.

With the help of this forum though, I hope Avatar eventually can help me in the long run, to make me understand that I can do a difference. I do not totally believe in that myself yet, but I feel I am getting a bit closer.

Well, end of post. I still think it is completely amazing that a movie can do this...

Truly is. Like i stated before nothing in my life has moved me this much. My life has turned around for the better even after the depression left and the yearning to live on Pandora was gone.

Depression is gone for me, but the yearning to live on pandora, thats forever.

Welcome to the forums Kame!

And just a quick question - Does Norway have access to any Imax Cinemas?
Sweden is lacking them, sadly.
