Not exactly seeing Avatar
Dec. 20th, 2009 11:26 amI wanted to see Avatar because I knew it was about a wheelchair user (and other things, including environmentalism) and I wanted to see what it might say about disability (and other things, including environmentalism).
Ironically, thanks to my own disability, I became incredibly dizzy and couldn't make it through the film. (It wasn't because of the IMAX/3-D effects, although that didn't help – my feet were starting to swell up before we entered the theatre, always a bad sign. Kudos again to the very helpful staff at the Pointe Orlando movie theatre.)
S and C told me the rest of the plot, but, of course, that's not the same as seeing it. ( What I did see. )
