February 16
TOPIC: AVATAR
Join us for a discussion of the blockbuster 3-D movie Avatar. As the writer and director James Cameron said his acceptance speech for best picture of the year at the Golden Globe awards "Avatar asks us to see that everything is connected, all human beings to each other, and us to the earth and if you have to go four and half light years to another made up planet light years away to appreciate this miracle of a world we have right here, then so be it." The film is set in the year 2154 on Pandora, a moon in a distant star system called Alpha Centauri. James Cameron who first wrote the script in 994 had to wait for cinema technology to evolve to match his vision for the movie. James Francis Cameron is a Canadian born film director, producer, screenwriter, editor and inventor has extended his talents into the realms of art, science and movie making with a message of healing for us all. His writing and directing work also include The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), True Lies (1994), Titanic (1997), and now Avatar (2009).
