Avatar: "I See You"

Walking through a dream I see you

My light in darkness breathing hope of new life

Now I live through you and you through me

Enchanted

I pray in my heart that this dream never ends

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your life shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love

You teach me how to see

All that’s beautiful

My senses touch your world I never pictured

Now I give my hope to you

I surrender

I pray in my heart that this world never ends

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life

I offer my love, for you

When my heart was never open

(and my spirit never free)

To the world that you have shown me

But my eyes could not division

All the colors of love and of life ever more

Evermore

(I see me through your eyes)

I see me through your eyes

(Living through life flying high)

Flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

And live through your love

And live through your life

I see you

I see you

It took me awhile to post about Avatar and my opinion on the movie is what's written above. When I first heard the two main characters utter the words, "I See You" to each other, I thought wow how corny can this get? But after awhile it becomes endearing. How often do you see the real person? For those who claim to have found true love, how often could you look into the eyes of your soulmate and actually say, "I See You"?

James Cameron's movie, "Avatar", grossed US1.2 million in the first 3 weeks since it was released, tossing it into the realm of the top 5 movies ever created. Of course, the first is "Titanic". James Cameron is the only director who can claim the title of directing 2 movies that are in the top 5 movies that earned the most of all time.

What do you think made Avatar beloved by many that it caused most to watch it a second time if not through theatre, by illegal means. Some say it's because of the 15 year hype. Some say it's because of the 3-D effects. Some say it's because of the special effects.

But at the end of it all, the movie is a tale of 2 souls entwined. It's a movie about a trying love story that amazed us all because of the different world it was set in. Leona Lewis' song, "I See You" summarises this movie perfectly for me and I hope it does for you as well.
