Watched Avatar on Sunday, it's really very nice.
It hadn't been what I expected it to be, but I like it :).
After hearing all the reviews and stuff, I had a notion the story is all about the peaceful stuff, well, it's true... to a certain extent of course.
Contemplating suicide is quite ridiculous to me but the moment of anguish at the ruthlessness of the human desire is still present. The effin desire for the effin metal which cost 2 mil per kg, it's really attractive. However, what's the great deal about getting like 5 kg and go home? What's with the effin bulldozer to mow down the whole living ground for the harmonious Na'vi?
This movie really deserves a much better achievement that Titanic, not saying that Titanic is not great but this is just too nice. Fearing that this movie will bring about the issues about the house shifting policy and others, China closed down all the 2D Avatar movies, leaving only the pathetically rare 3D films. Furthermore, they banished all advertisements on Avatar, this futile attempt to be an ostrich is really not necessary, this problem had surfaced much earlier and cannot be stopped. Probably because of the protests in HongKong about the new bullet train built nationwide by the young people, the government decided to do something about it -.-""
Yet we cannot underestimate the power of media also, the Tibet issue was raised to a greater extent all thanks to the effin CNN and other media. What it seemed to be an internal issue in China became an international condemnation. The decision made may have its limiting effect, but it only delays the whole process, not solving the problem as a whole.
School has been nice, called the kids last Friday, and they actually still called me as TuFei... Wrote the letters for the kids until 8 p.m. and went to the blablabla island selling ice cream with Jolynn and Hwee Yanne. Amazing how Hwee Yanne transformed into a real Chinese teacher, teaching in Secondary school! Pretty cool ya.
