Avatar: Tears Dried on My Beard

18 فبراير 2010

Today I went to Bahrain’s Dana theater to watch the movie Avatar (the 3D version!) without knowing anything ahead of time about the story of it. All I knew was the innovative and advanced use of computer graphics which was motivating enough for me. While in the middle of the movie I started to relate the way Naavis were treated by human beings to a similar kind of a real relationship that has been going on for a while on planet Earth.

Navvis with their minimal physical power but stronger belief in peace and love are just like people of Iraq/Afghanistan/Palestine and others who are facing a much stronger power which doesn’t believe in anything but control and economical/political gains. For every one killed from the Naavis, I remembered a man, a woman, or a child killed in those poor countries that I have been seeing since I was child. For example Israel has killed 1441 Palestinian child since 2000 for 124 Israeli children killed by Palestinians who were just like the Naavis trying to resist strangers who came to take their land. In 2009, the US provided Israel with $7 million/day of military aid and $0 to Palestine.

In addition, as there were few people on the side of human beings who didn’t agree with the way the Naavis were treated, there are many people in the US/Europe and a little in Israel who are still merciful to their brothers and sisters in humanity and some are actually working hard to bring peace and justice in opposition to what their leaders are doing.

I was so much touched by this movie as I was reminded of the sad side of the current situation on Earth. We are not only killing each other but also destroying our planet. It is part of my belief that everyone will face consequences for their wrong doings, if not in this life, then in the hereafter.
