That alone makes up for James Cameron using standard fare storytelling and tired cliches. The colors are so vivid and the imagination so active that I hardly noticed the flaws until the movie was long over. An oft repeated phrase in the film is “I see you” which the characters use to communicate a personal knowing and recognition. It is reminiscent of Native American language (as is much of the fictional Na’Vi people of the planet Pandora) as well as echoing the biblical idea of knowing another person intimately. However, this phrase works on several levels as Cameron invites us to “see” this incredible 3-D world which serves as the movie’s greatest asset.]]> http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/12/29/avatar-i-see-you/feed/ 6 http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/12/11/engaging-culture-with-the-gospel/ http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/12/11/engaging-culture-with-the-gospel/#comments Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:28:56 +0000 Travis http://www.viarenovo.com/?p=334 http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/12/11/engaging-culture-with-the-gospel/feed/ 0 http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/11/30/wes-pickering-and-roast-beef/ http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/11/30/wes-pickering-and-roast-beef/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:16:27 +0000 Travis http://www.viarenovo.com/?p=274 http://www.viarenovo.com/2009/11/30/wes-pickering-and-roast-beef/feed/ 0
