It's Entertainment People..

I am not sure when going to the movies stopped being about a few hours of enjoyable entertainment and turned into something that should be over analyzed and dissected to the point where people are getting offended and feel the need to fight back against the injustices being brought down upon the world through film!

I just saw Avatar again yesterday. I went with my boys while on Vacation in Phoenix and enjoyed it enough to go see it again yesterday with a friend. I won't give out any spoilers in case anyone is still planning on seeing it, but the basic storyline is of a mining company that has discovered a valuable resource on another planet called Pandora and the resulting interactions with the indigenous people there.

I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the extra dynamic that the 3D presentation brought to it. The environment of Pandora was very intriguing. The plants and animals were unique and very creative. It was 3 hours of entertainment.

What I didn't do upon leaving the theater is start trying to draw parallels to society and find some kind of way to be offended. If I didn't like the movie, then I would say so, but not try to turn it into some slanderous tragedy. Avatar has been hit with accusation of racism. Conservatives and liberals alike have been attacking the film from different angles. The disabled have lodged complaints because of the fact that the main character that is in a wheelchair is not using a specialized cushion which anyone with a spinal cord injury would be using in real life to prevent pressure sores.

Seriously people.. it's a fucking movie. It's fiction. It's a creation from someone's imagination. A huge portion of that movie was computer generated. Stop trying to turn movies into broad political statements or get offended because some little detail is not what it would be in real life. If you want real life, go out into the real world. If you are going to the theater to watch a movie that is pure FICTION .. then get the hell over yourself and your sensitivities and enjoy the entertainment. If you don't want to participate, then don't.

Anyway.. my point is simple. CHILL THE FUCK OUT. Not every book, movie and song has to be some kind of statement on politics or society or some other issue we are supposed to be politically correct and overly sensitive on. Learn to relax and enjoy life sometimes. You will be a lot happier in the long run.
