Had a blast last week and watched "Avatar" at our very own multiplex in Gandhidham. But before that, had a nice massage and heartache while travelling from Mundra to Gandhidham. The experience was like never before, a raging bus carrying 20 passengers, one driver, one conductor, 6 tyres, one engine, one rear axle, one front axle, 50 ltrs of diesel in a shoddy container, around 1000 nuts and bolts, sheet metal moulded for seats and a grill which prevents passengers from reaching the driver.
Hell, wonder if the grill would not have been there, nobody would have spared the driver for the bumpy roller coaster ride.
Eventually, curses galore just could not prevent the experience. An amazing two hour ride for just Rs 30/-, wonderful isnt it?
Coming to avatar, I wish it would have been a true story, it is true in a sense but non nature lovers would make no sense of it. May be, James Cameroon should have included scenes from the cartoon "Captain planet" or the movie "the Matrix" to incorporate the dangers of losing precious natural resources. But, a commendable effort by him. Not everyone will be impressed by the movie but sooner or later, the theme of this movie will inevitably be the future.
The timing is just right, hope the swines negotiating a 'Climate change protocol' in Copenhagen watch this movie to justify how they want our future to be.
Folks, unfortunately, our future lies in their hands. Especially somebody like me from a developing country. So, this famous dialogue from the Matrix holds false for me:
Morpheus: "Tell me Neo, do you believe in fate"
Neo: "No, I dont, I am not comfortable with the idea that someone is controlling us"
Morpheus: "I know exactly what you mean"
Hail Copenhagen. Sayonara.
