It's a lifechanging experience. You won't believe me.
I used to hate greenpeace'ish people. I cared as much about pollution and nature as I cared about my cat's crap. I used to believe in superficial things such as popularity, social appearancd and judging my future job by the amount of cash it would earn me. When did I believe in such things? 3 days ago. 3 days ago, I was that kind of man. and now, 3 days later, I already am ready to openly admit how I feel stupid about these 18 years of my life I lost by living in such beliefs.
What happened 3 days ago? I wen't to see Avatar, and it turned me crazy. I was with 3 other friends just like me, none of us cared much about nature and all, and I'm even admitting most didn't believe in true love, we though we were cool being players and all... And the first thing I did when the movie ended, is turn my head around, and realise that, just like myself, my 3 friend's weren't the same 3 guys that entered the teather room 2 hours and 40 minutes before that moment.
We wen't back to the car, none could speak a word, yet every single one of us understoud the other. The movie as had the same effect over all of us. Not a single word during a 25 minutes car trip, and yet it was the most expressive car trip of my whole life. I felt connected with them. I understand what the na'vi means by "I see you", because, during these 25 minutes, I experienced it, and it was magical.
Now? I don't judge women's about how "challenging" or "hot" they are anymore... I judge them by trying to see if they can give me what neytiri gave Jake, and what she gave me. I wan't someone true, someone with a pure soul, just like Neytiri.
Now? I don't just toss my tissues, my trashes and my potato chips bags around when I'm outside. I care about this thing we are living on, I really do care about nature. In fact, I would give anything to simply have 5 minutes under the hometree, to feel this incredible sensation to be one with our planet, and to feel a world without war, social pressure and obligations.
I sincerely think that Avatar is the event that affected me the most, as a person, during my whole life, and it is more than likely I will never again get such a major lifestyle-changing event in my existence.
I think.. I think it made me pure. Avatar cleansed me from all the stereotypes and the superficial things society carved into my soul and has shown how a life deserves to be lived... No more am I going to try to impress a women to conquer her heart, no more will I lose hours of my life playing video games or chatting with people that don't deserve it. I am now pure. It's all about my soul, making the best out of my situation.
Dear forum lurkers, I see you. Tell me, how has avatar changed you. I have a lot things to say about how it changed me too, let's just get this conversation started.
i luv these idiots
