I’m totally depressed after seeing Avatar
Actually, I’m not. I’m just making that the title in the hopes that Google will lead people to this post. I saw this today:
James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.
“…The movie was so beautiful and it showed something we don’t have here on Earth. I think people saw we could be living in a completely different world and that caused them to be depressed.”
Wait, we don’t have native tribes in a jungle living here on Earth? Really? Or maybe you’re talking about the color of their skin… it’s true we don’t have real Smurfs. Yet, I think this is just a case of people being really confused about what they want out of life. Maybe the depressed should go into the wild and live their dream, like Henry David Thoreau did. Just go to South America, which is replete with tribes living in the Jungle fighting the evil environmental antagonists who log the rainforest.
I’ll have to watch the movie when it comes out on video.
