The Movie Avatar
We saw the movie Avatar on Dec. 30 to put us in a great great space for the Dec 31 lunar eclipse, the theme of which was to send love around the planet. The movie not only helped for the lunar eclipse, but lingered for many days. It’s the first time EVER that my husband said about a movie, “I want to see it again. Soon.” Watching congress spit and spew and barf and release their toxic dump on our president, with the media right there reporting every gross and indecent act, certainly doesn’t help keep us in a loving space. My work prevents me from totally disconnecting from mainstream news, to keep up with planets phases, etc. But I seriously question what the purpose of all this hyperactive reporting of all things nasty has done to our society and young ones also. At least some of us remember times in life when it wasn’t always like that. Avatar is the perfect pre-2012 movie to counteract the nonsense of the real 2012 movie that Hollywood churned out in their formulaic disaster genre. (Really, Hollywood, if you want to focus on disaster, there’s so many real live ones happening daily that you could report about.) For instance, there was just a huge disaster in Haiti — a real one. It’s good to see the media shift gears and get behind that and also view the hundreds, perhaps thousands of healing and love stories that are right now pouring forth from that land. 2012, as I see it, requires a radical shift in the way business is conducted and people interact when careful consideration is given to every thought, word and deed. I’m thrilled for James Cameron that he put together the right message in such a way that young people can totally get behind and that it is outgrossing just about everything else that’s ever been filmed. To this I say — James, you deserve every Oscar and every other award that’s possible. Keep them coming.
