it's such legendary theme music. in strange way so familiar to the style of music heard in those old game arts games lunar and grandia. they're anime themed in graphics as well. highly recommend those if u like console rpg's..
Hey! In the words of some great idiot, "Shut up and listen to the song!" It doesn't matter which is better, they are both AWESOME, just enjoy the pretty (and slightly creepy) music.
Both Avatar and Miyazaki's movies have environmental themes. The difference? Avatar's theme was simplistic as "kill the environment, you kill life". And then Miyazaki's movies are many things at once aside from environmental. It is how good and evil can coexist in each side of the battle (yes, even the environment Miyazaki portrays is not immune to evil). For Miyazaki, it was "be caution in blaming the environment for hurting your people, you kill life, but you are capable of redemption."
Saying that this movie has anything similar to Avatar is like saying that Ghostbusters are like Casper, the friendly ghost... except the toon is far better in first case :D
@Fabzil by this point in time it's practically impossible to create a totally original story sooo cut him some slack. Besides in Pocahontas, they never got to the point where they were all out killing eachother and it John Smith didn't nearly lose his identity while trying to become an indian so they arent exactly the same.
@Gilmoreboy2007 great movies both. only thing going bad for nausicaa is the last war scenes kinda fuck it up. same thing happens in howl's moving castle
Everyone has the right to interpret a story the way they are able to and if they can share it with the world they should. After all, every movie or story means something different to each person who watches, reads or hears them. And thats what makes our world so amazing. Not what is in the world,( though it's beautiful) but the the way people around the world percive it.
The synths used in this song are amazing.. Lush pads and drums and the stabs are something else. Loving it.. Not to mention the hauntingly beautiful pipes and vocals.. *Sigh* <3
Today it's impossible to bring up any new things in a movie, a TV-show or a book, and since globalisation reaches nigh every corner of the world now there will always be people saying "Oh, this one is like what I saw before on [...] I am sure he / she borrowed it from there!"
Conflict between mankind and environment is subject to old legends everywhere around the world, as it is love, compassion and war.
If it's a good story let every story speak for itself.
It's the same with music. We're using up every idea possible, trying to make things different. We're bound to run out, and that's what's happening. We're running out of possibilities because we've used them all already.
@Cayreesha Sorry to reply to ur old post but I reckon James Cameron still shoud've been upfront about it since it wasn't only the theme that was similar but some of the scenes were pretty much a complete copy. You can tell the making of the Matrix was heavily influenced by Japanese animes but Wachowski bros were completely upfront about it, mentioning names such as GITS and Akira. I think most ppl r complaining not because he was influenced but the lack of tribute given to the originals.
@DonMega187 actually in an interview Cameron said it was based off a tribe of people in the amazon who were about to try to fight off the government with bows and arrows because the government was going to build a dam that would put them all underwater and the government was trying to get them to relocate. And how is it like titanic? Jake lives? and wheres the sinking ship? and roses fiancee didnt set aside their differences and join jack in an interspecies war.
I grew up with this movie 25 years ago when i was 4 under the Warriors of the Wind cut from New World when i rented it on video and fell in love with it. I had my parents bought it for me for christmas and i even made myself a second copy taped off HBO as i had 2 copies, i didn't know that my childhood fave animated movie was a crude butchery until i saw the uncut fansub tape at age 15 in anime club in high school but still accepted WOTW, good thing we got a fresh new uncut dub.
Cameron is a fan of animation and Sci-fi/fantasy as he did combined Nausicaa, Heavy Metal, Last of the Mohicans, Star Wars Trilogy, Princess Mononoke, Castle in The Sky, Dune, Fantastic Planet and Willow in one movie.
@Johnlindsey289 okay? why are you telling me this? obviously my previous statement shows I knew that and any art major like myself with half a brain could see the similarities
You know what, screw it. It's just space pocohontas
Cameron wrote Avatar before Pocahontas in 1993, he wanted it to film it after Titanic for a 1999 release date but had to delay the project for a decade because he had to wait for the technology to satisfy him. In 2005 he finally greenlighted the film after being convinced by LOTR's technology and Polar Express's technology. It was his story since 1988 but he changed it in 2005 to make it a more mainstream kind of thing and based on world history including those films
@Johnlindsey289 perfected? No of course not. It was a wonderful film of course and the animation was fantastic. The story was sweet but incredibly predictable and not very original. that's what it was to me, pretty CGI with a sweet couple and decent, though overused, story
So do you think Avatar is DWW meets Nausicaa, Dune, Star Wars, Heavy Metal, Castle in The Sky, Fantastic Planet, Lightyears (Gandahar), Mononoke and Last of the Mohicans?
@Johnlindsey289 idk i PERSONALLY didn't enjoy avatar as much as the others, it only had the CGI actually going for it, whereas the other movies had an original plot, but to each his own
Well Cameron did heavily borrowed from this with the toxic unbreathable jungle where people need masks to wear, similar insects, similar helicopters, the Tomekian village attack referenced in the attack scene of the Na'Vi village, tentacle things that resurrect people and the ending was a huge homage. Cameron combined Dune, Last of the Mohicans, Nausicaa, Mononoke, Castle in The Sky, Star Wars and 1981's Heavy Metal in one tasty cocktail
Nausicaa and Castle in the sky are my 2 most favorite movies ever! :)
