Comment: It took James Cameron to confirm under the pomp of the most anticipated film of all time, the wise foresight of Vladimir Propp. On the one hand, the American director who has spent the most (and the more he earned, deserve every penny its success) in the history of world cinema, with all the complications that this label implies, the linearity of the other studies Russian formalist, capable of gutting and reassemble it in a fairy tale that more functions are repeated. Because that, ultimately, is Avatar: an ultra-modern fairy tale, that behind the technology of the virtual, hides a tangled plot that has nothing. But this is not a bad thing, indeed. If anything is just the first of a series of beautiful contradictions, traceable in nearly three hours of mental journey, where the fourth wall of the screen is both a dream and stepmother godfather of annoying (and we'll see why). A film Hegelian dialectic of opposites that uses the result to a magnificent synthesis, visible at various levels. We start with the plot: linear, we said, simple, does not mean trivial. Everything goes in the end, as it should, without the need for head shots of the script, because it is the whole current of the film to maintain the suspended without voltage sags, spikes and without the need to return to the center of attention. Simple but original in the sense that, other than an environmental message as the rhetorical Chaplin the Great Dictator finally invented something new and do not fit the usual books, comic books or stories. The film needed it and Avatar exists because a movie, only there, lives there because the Avatar has created, from scratch, Cameron. Second paradox: the characters. Characters are flat, but who should we s'affeziona: the troubles of the soul are mentioned, but essentially the role of protagonist-antagonist is not subject to shocks. Spirits almost cartoon. Actors, therefore, functional to the plot, and here is the fun part: because it is the inner movement of Avatars or alienated from the human thirst for power to strike, but the network of relationships that these characters "plates" create. E 'interaction, the link just to bring in the emotion of living things, including nature, in a pantheistic vision of the world. Then comes the message: the most expensive movie of all time reveals a morality that is pure primitivism, the Rosseau. Modernism complicated for a poetics of origins. Civilisation has killed the man, and Cameron tells him to, staging, with the latest technology, the world's most barren (of technology) that exists: Pandora is a splendid synthesis of the difficulty of "how" mean opposite things the simplicity of a message addressed to the mass really. As Propp wanted: not the story itself to change its shape, but the way in which it is said to assure success. It is, after all, even the same nonsense movie: exploiting modern complicated, real infernal machines, to get to everyone, not just the niche. That is: one can only make the film, God the Creator, who will then turn to the mass. Avatar commercial product then? Definitely yes, because in his "spin doctors" scored even stronger criticism of American foreign policy (inevitable and not so veiled) that utilizes the concepts of capitalism to kill anti-capitalist. A snake biting its tail, and especially the courage of self-condemnation, it seems, honestly. Avatar, in essence, does not erase the previous films, because it draws on both hands and raise it in all its visual power. Seeing is believing the passage of the "discourse of the hero before the battle", the classic formula, but revisited in the spirit of tolerance, with simultaneous translation in front of the huge crowd: I find that gives meaning to a passage of pure and otherwise vacuous verbiage . The final paradox is a reminder to humanity, because in the virtual paradise more possible (choral scenes creepy and flight of Ikran be fixed in the history of cinema, with a lot of curious attention to details), is the space for that 'last frame that a photographer close to half of the human and the selected creature. Total user experience and to live, that makes sense of the film and makes it seem like wasted a comfortable armchair at home with attached DVD. The proof? Empirically there is not, because we live more and feelings and subjective judgments, but two clues enables us to supply at the end, even after two hours and forty films, you will not feel satisfied yet, and most importantly, the power of a final 3D well exploited, sometimes you'll get more awareness of the smallness of the screen in the lounge, which almost appear out of place. You will notice, and curse, that rectangle of light, and want to expand forever. E 'drug dell'onirismo, a masterpiece destined perhaps to discuss, but capable allow, finally, to new generations, who tried to understand what, for the first time at the cinema and saw Star Wars in 1977. Now as then, the film can not help but face a cornerstone of science fiction.
