Re-Watched Avatar... After A Year And A Half

[Human No More]

Even thinking about it can still give me the feeling again... It feels different to how it used to, but it's still there, I think perhaps because my situation is so much different now changes it to a point, but I still think I could watch it again and go back, and I am going to on the 18th

I guess our feelings that we had back 'then' were for that moment in time. It was a special moment in our lives and has led us to here.

I have recently finished a book called 'Save the Cat', which is about screenplay writing. Having read it, I can now see why Avatar wins on so many levels. (Clever bloke that Jim Cameron!) Such as how the 'good guys' go through (enormous) change, which carries us along with them, and the bad guys who never change. Just as HNM eluded to in one of his posts above.

The last time I watched Avatar was at the Meet Up. I must admit I am 'fearful' of watching it again for not having the same emotional rollercoaster ride it has, up to now, given me. It made me feel alive when I first watched it as it took me from the mundane. Sometimes I hear a bit of the music and I can feel the emotion creeping round the corner.

I guess the truth is that because everything changes over time, then so will that 'Avatar' feeling. But that's ok. It's natural. The thing that has come to matter more to me is my Avatar family - YOU! To have the previllege of being able to meet so many of you has filled me to the brim with 'Avatar Goodness'.

I may not post too often on the forums, but just about everyday I'm doing Avatar 'stuff' in the background as my way of giving back to the community and for the Avatar 'experience'.

I have seen Avatar 20ish times give or take. So i figured it would never have its original magic back, I was wrong. Last night I saw the Hobbit in 3D and one of the "commercials" was a bluray commercial for DVD and the spotlight was Avatar. Seeing Avatar back on the movie screen in 3D was breath taking. I wish they would play the entire movie in theatres again

Watched it again now. I get the same emotion, like the first time. It's been an awesome feeling going through the AVATAR experience again, missed it a lot and I haven't seen the movie in a year.

I wish AVATAR Extended Edition to come in cinemas, I'd go without a no

I'm not really fearful of rewatcing it... maybe a little apprehensive, but I know it will still have the impact, even if it's just that it won't feel exactly the same, because I'm in a different (and much better) place in my life now, compared to back then. It's still an amazing film, with a good message, and has changed my life for the better, even if I do have things to live for on Earth now as well.

I also dare to say that I pretty much don't even like the movie itself anymore. I still like the Avatar Universe though (speaking from a canon point of view).

Ya, I'm weird like that.

The same has kind of happened to me also. I still have some connection to it, but it's just not the same as it once was. The reason is stress I think, which has done a pretty good job at killing anything I used to enjoy. I haven't tried watching Avatar since the meet because I just haven't felt like it. Still looking forward to the sequels at least...
