I initially had a tiff with my friend when he said that he is dying to watch AVATAR, a few days before its release. For this particular guy who always fancies Hollywood movies and writes down Tamil movies, I felt annoyed at yet another Hollywood adoration by him. I never underwrite any tamil movie makers for some reason. They do what the majority of the masses in the land wanted and not for these hi-fi characters, who are hardly even 1% of their target audience. Nevertheless, I wanted to watch the movie. The movie released the week before Christmas and it was already full till Christmas. This had kindled my interest. CS examinations followed, so had to wait for a bit longer. One more week. And by this time, read a lot of tweets in twitter from various persons. One particular tweet from RGV mooted the interest further. He had said while there may be persons saying there can be a movie better than AVATAR, there can be no one who disputes that there was a movie like AVATAR.
Ha, My CS exams were to end on January 2nd and I wanted to watch it on that day. But there were other unexpected events to happen. I could finally watch the movie after a lot of drama. But ultimately I did, with my best friend and her sweet cousins on January 3rd. There was hardly any moment between January 2nd and morning of January 3rd, I had not thought about AVATAR. Much was the embarrassment the previous day evening that we could not watch the movie as planned. Eventually it was January 3rd matinee to take over.
I was already a little late for the movie. Finally sat down with the 3D glasses over my specs. I always had a doubt whether 3D glass could fit over my specs. It was perfect. And now over to the movie.
As I was late and had little confusion over the seating, 2-3 minutes after sitting was not so gripping. After a while when the mood was set in, it was just an amazing experience throughout. Never watched a movie like that. The movie had everything picture perfect. Be it the casting, make-up, graphics (woooowwwww), sound, sets, the plot, the screenplay and there cannot be a better direction. The Director, James Cameroon, already reputed as one of its kind director, has completed a movie of centuries with a mind-blowing team work. I am not going to be talking about the story or screenplay of the movie.
Coming the most important aspects, GRAPHICS, DIRECTION and the ONE BIG TEAM WORK.
This certainly is a big team work. Every soul in the movie has done its part without a blemish. The team credits at the end of the movie, unfortunately many would not even care to watch, even I did not stand there for the completion, but cared to watch till I got out and the teams that had worked were amazing. Animation has roughly 40 credits. By the way, there is some "CREDIT CRUNCH" that Indian Film industry is going through. Seeing the list at the end of movie, there was acknowledgement for every single person. Seen a list of 40 odd drivers there. The director's imagination was caught on tape with precision. The human race has never been short of imagination. I would not say that the scriptwriters imagination was the key success point in this movie. The success really was the transformation of the writer's imagination into such a marvel.
Next for such a transformation of the writer-Cameroon imagination, it was the director-Cameroon who has done every bit of justification to the writer deserves applause. The director has held the entire team together. There are no other words to explain the work of this director. A new dimensional direction. And yes he is the most articulative director.
Finally, what can never match the movie is the GRAPHICS or as they call it the ANIMATION. Recently, 2012 was released and got a feeling that there were lesser privileged industries producing better graphics than that movie. And when you watch AVATAR, you can never realise any work by the animation department. And that is what, is the success of the department. One should never notice the work of any department, including acting, while watching the movie. However, it should leave you perplexed after that.
Overall, the movie is a never miss-kind of movie. It was not an entertainment. It was an experience. And never like before or after experience. With all these perfection, its also amazing that the movie carries a good social message as well. Don't miss it!!!!!!
Coming to terms still... And I hope Aayirathil Oruvan weaves certain magic of this kind. After all, its a sincere effort from a sincere director... I support campaign AO...
Cheers
