Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible.

Avatar is a new experience for me, too. Blogging helps alleviate the need to discuss it, get it off of my mind.

A movie doesn't give me these kind of feelings. Avatar was a whole new experience.

A completely new experience, movies don't give you the same feelings Avatar did, Avatar is like an enigma, it defies conventional thought and gos deeper into your soul then any cinema could

I just watched it last night, so I'm still reeling.

Well (obviously) I searched for a network of fans to write with :D Another thing I did was to immediately check DeviantART.com for any artworks. I love drawing myself and I'm hoping to get out some fandom energies that way. Of course it's sad that such an experience doesn't exist for us, but I do look forward to trying out an MMO RPG if they make one.

In the end though, I'm not so sad because the movie is a reminder for us to appreciate the beauty of not the fantasy world, but OUR own. Pandora is a reminder of how the Earth once was, and it's a celebration of the cultures in our world that continue to dwell with Nature in a deeper way. Earth may not be as mystical or fantastic, but it is certainly beautiful. We don't need a thousand bucks and a trip to Hawaii to appreciate it. After watching the movie, just playing with my cats was a more defined experience for me. I respected how they come up to me, and love playing with me and finding my attention. We speak to each other without words, and I was reminded of the deep interconnections in the movie.

Its because of this forum and posters like Kaliko, that I believe humanity has a chance again

Amen. Many were inspired to do something for the Earth... I think that's what Cameron wanted.

I recently read on the Avatar TypePad Blog, that people are becoming depressed because of the movie. People are realizing that the dream can't actually come true. I was trying to start a thread where people gave ideas on how to cope with it, as in reading Avatar stuff, Writing ( about avatar of course), painting, or whatever. Just give me some ideas and I'll try and help them out. Maybe people reading might even get some good ideas that'll help.

Thanks

And when you dream, you are released from the human shell as Na'Vi, thats how I feel

And from an interview that james made on some movie website he wanted to make a movie that had some sort of primal and native feel to it. Make you feel your most basic of human emotions and feelings. And it work....on a huge scale.

Best quote on this site by far.

You know what’s cool… we are all strangers from across the world. Yet here we are, discussing some pretty deep stuff, brought together by a movie : )
