After seeing Avatar, you feel like coming out of another world called Pandora, still the story and characters could have been worked out in much deeper way, like it was done in Titanic but surely you can not deny the effect of transcending in to another space with Na'vi people!
Anyways, nothing more to write about Avatar because you must have seen it twice. I recently got reports from Variety that Avatar has broken record for highest gross during second and third weekends. The opening of the film was good (not the best, trust me!) with 77 Million across the US box office. If you talk about a 'general' hollywood movie track at box office, what 'generally' happens? The collection sees steep decline up to 50% (In mediocre film case, 70%) but Avatar amazingly kept it self up to only 3% decline! Not only that in third weekend the decline was only 10%! This is amazing. For a long long time we have not seen a blockbuster behaving like Avatar on box office, not even Dark Knight! May be only king of the world knows how to earn the most green at Box Office! The movie has earned over 1 Billion over box office in merely 19 days (which is also record) and trust me, the Titanic's record of 1.8 billion is under severe threat!
Only time can tell if Jim can topple his own remarkable feet that he achieved a decade ago.

Hey Deep, thanks for showing this phenomenal movie to me in 3D theatre. This was my second 3D cinema after Chhota Chetan, which I saw at the age of 8 or 9 in Metro Cinema, Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this movie conveys the message "Live and let live" in an effective way. The melodrama at the end was quite stretched. Everyone groans about the length of the movie but nobody left the theater you see. I have several questions though.
Was it possible to show the softer side of life in 2 hours? Do you think it is the softer side of this movie which brings the lot to the theaters?
The death of the biologist was indeed painful. Should she have to join the mission? Why didn't she refuse?
I have one more message for Hollywood. I didn't like their trick of making the guy sleep inside the box to go to Pandora. Its a much different world, an open world. They should have taken him to Pandora through meditation like the Sadhus in our epics like Ramayan, Mahabharat who were able to go to heaven, hell and wherever they wished just through meditation in open forest with eyes closed and may be body enlightened. What do you think?
