托福阅读：Avatar and the sacred feminine（1）

　　前段时间，《阿凡达》热播，一票难求，它不仅开辟了电影3D技术的新天地，也带给了人们划时代的视听感受，唯美的丛林大树夜景.跨越一切的爱情, 以及感动的最后一搏,像是原始社会和科技时代的大战. 可怜那些无辜无力却勇敢的潘多拉星球的蓝人们. 人类的贪婪自私与自大妄为在影片里暴露无遗.好在结尾给我们一个欢喜的场景。

　　Tears flow as I watch the untold story of many people. Pain melts into ocean's blood running through my cheeks, liquid salt cleansing my soul. Sadness comes unannounced. Embracing me, it sits in my heart. Seeing this film rings a bell, a story repeating itself on another planet. Avatar is a film of mythical and epic proportions imbued with symbolism. It uncovers ancient truth shining through the mist of delusion. It is hard to digest for some, to see our own insanity mirrored, blocking our experience of life as a powerful current of interconnectedness flowing through every being.

　　This is not just the Na'vi story, this is every indigenous story on mother Earth, with their natural wisdom and connection to nature ridiculed, demonized, and oppressed. The Vatican has, in response to this film, warned everyone against seeing divinity in nature. We have heard this before and are still feeling the devastating effects of such narrow minded thinking. Those deeply rooted in the firm grip of logocentric discourse don't tire from mocking feelings of reverence, awe and magic found by communing with nature.
