Night Shyamalan's Avatar the Last Airbender film adaptation! Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:14:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Kiritina http://lastairbenderfilm.com/2008/11/11/shyamalan-eager-to-transform-image-with-%e2%80%98last-airbender%e2%80%99/#comment-5086 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 03:09:36 +0000 http://avatarmovie.wordpress.com/?p=3#comment-5086 I love it the last airbender because the four elements are very important in our lives as well as the spiritual part coincided with the story. For myself I can understand the story theme, the father a firenation leading his nation and of course want the glory, the son wanting his dignity back and to restore his honor, the avatar wanting to live a normal life but can transform and combine while learning to use the airbender of aire,water,earth and fire. The brother and sister travelling with the avatar and learning many things and the gift from the avatar there special relationship. Basically the son and father from the firenation will have to meet eye to eye to battle, yet as we all know the avatar would probably fight the battle, with the son and father combining forces. Yet the uncle that protected the son but believed in goodness. Ended up fighting his brother and the son, then the avatar helps the brother becos he could see good, and knew the son and his father of the firenation no matter their differences they alienated or joined forces to try and conqueror the world. The uncle becomes the leader of the firenation with having a treaty for peace with all the other three elements and the avatar to combine and live as one people.

The choice of indian/subcontinental actors for the fire nation was a good decision I think. My kids were disappointed that the Uncle was not funny.. although the film did have allusions to his funny habits and sayings from the cartoon like him drinking tea and him suggesting to his nephew to go out with girls.

I watched the show and like many i found the story to be incomplete. So many things the show left out that will make sense later in the sequels to come. No more unexplained combustion man, since they are bending energy from within now. No more rush job avatar training since they extended the fall of Sozens Comet to 3 years. No more Aang murdering hundreds of people at the end of the movie along side a holy spirit since they stuck with the idea that kids, no monks for that matter should not take a life or lives in terms of the show. You re watch it in tell me aang didn’t kill those people. I know, i know, he didn’t kill the fire lord but seriously. He constantly kills people in that sugar coated kids cartoon way.

Also know he can give some willing people the power to become airbenders. Also it shows a bit of history in there world.

The reason for the Firelord, or at the time: Pheonix King, not being killed in the show is probably not for kids’ sake. I mean, in how many “kid” cartoons/animation do you really see two kids kissing? Not many, especially on the nicktoon channel. My point is that there is definately a different reason why he hadn’t died. Not many really know but we’re all free to make up reasons of our own =D

They’re showing how Avatar isn’t just a show, but more a relation to the actual ancient asian and worldly spirit. Some people are thinking far too literal when it comes to the cartoon and live-action comparison. This will be great, I just know it. Ignore the critics reviews and ridiculous opinions, every Avatar fan will be dying to see more of their favorite show. BE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF SEQUEL NEWS! Lots of people I met who’ve seen the movie like the changes. The first movie made bending and power seem more natural. Ex; the many forms and moves to bend elements (that people complain saying they’re “slow” [false] ) show how great and powerful controlling the elements can be for the gifted (main) characters.

It was a testament to him overcoming what seemed like a desperate situation. Instead of defying his beliefs about all life being sacred, he was able to carve a new path, with a new ability. The entire show was about being strong enough to make your destiny, and Aang had the will to overcome the firelord without sacrificing a part of himself, which seemed to everyone, (including his past lives), to be an impossible option.

Im sure Night will make good of this movie . Coz like Koto says he does seem to be taking it seriously .. And doesn’t he have Bryan And Mike helping him in the movie ? To me that kinda rules out the chance of him turning the movie in the wrong direction .. And wait . I read that there is another Avatar show they don’t plan to have Aang or Katara or Sokka or any of the old gang in it .. And it’ll be like hundreds of years after Avatar The Last Airbender so if they do it’ll kinda be sad .. Kinda hard to think of the show without Aang and the gang ..

You see, with Energy Bending, not only can Aang take away bending, from, say, the Fire Lord… But he can also GIVE bending to nonbenders– say, a group of nonbenders who just so happen to live in the northern air temple?

If Aang were to give airbending to all of them, then the cycle would be restored, and the world of avatar would continue. This is most likely the REAL reason they created energy bending in the first place.

Now, I am not trying to say that I DON’T want to see the firelord die, for indeed I too wanted him to die. But I still think energy bending is essential to the future of avatar as well as to this movie. Now, we need not worry about that yet, seeing as how those will be discussed after they finish filming the second movie (most likely in late 2010 or early 2011). For now, I have high hopes for this movie. M. Night seems to be taking this very seriously (as you can tell with the detailed sets and the MARVELOUS choice for music composer), and as a fan of avatar I will try my best to give this movie a fair chance before I mark it as good or bad. :)
