James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle
"Avatar" may have been a little too real for some
fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts
after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty
of the alien world Pandora.
On the fan forum site "Avatar Forums," a topic thread
entitled "Ways to cope with the depression of the dream
of Pandora being intangible," has received more than 1,000
posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to
help them cope. The topic became so popular last month that
forum administrator Philippe Baghdassarian had to create a second
thread so people could continue to post their confused feelings
about the movie.
"I wasn't depressed myself. In fact the movie made me
happy ," Baghdassarian said. "But I can understand
why it made people depressed. The movie was so beautiful and
it showed something we don't have here on Earth. I think people
saw we could be living in a completely different world and that
caused them to be depressed."
A post by a user called Elequin expresses an almost obsessive
relationship with the film.
