Thirteen years have passed since the premiere of "Avatar", and the world-renowned sequel "Avatar: The Way of Water" (hereinafter referred to as "Avatar 2") is finally going to meet the audience, and the film is currently scheduled to be released in North America on December 16 this year.
"Avatar 2" is still directed by "Card God" James Cameron, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, as well as Kate Winslet, Michelle Yeoh, David Hullis, Vin Diesel and other big-name stars to help, the plot takes place five years after the story line of the previous work, the calm of the planet Pandora is once again disrupted by the humans who came to mine, and the former disabled soldier Jack has become the patriarch of the Na'vi tribe, uniting his family to start a new homeland defense war.
In the past two days, the length of "Avatar 2" has also caused heated discussions, according to a number of foreign ticket sales websites, the length of "Avatar 2" is 190 minutes, more than 3 hours, and before director Cameron made a domineering response to the length of the film.
We can first take a look at the comparison, the first part of "Avatar" is 162 minutes long, and the sequel is obviously nearly half an hour longer than the previous one.
But look back at Cameron's other classic "Titanic", a film released in 1997, which is 194 minutes long, which is even 4 minutes longer than "Avatar 2".
Therefore, the 3-hour film is not the first time for director Cameron, and it does not affect the film to become a classic in film history.
Previously, Cameron talked about the length of the film of "Avatar 2" in an interview with the media, and he responded domineeringly:
I don't want to hear anyone complain about the length of time, after all, they can sit down and brush for eight hours after watching a show. I can write about this, such as this long and bitter three-hour movie... It's like saying, can you give me a break? I've seen my kids sit down and watch a five-hour series in a row. ”
For Cameron's response, some netizens think that watching TV at home can rest at any time, or do something else, but watching a movie in the cinema requires 3 hours of concentration, and the situation is still somewhat different.
Some netizens feel that watching a good movie for 3 hours will not feel long at all, and the time will pass quickly.
There are also fans who ridicule that before "Avengers 4" was also watched in the cinema for almost 3 hours, "Avatar 2" is not a matter at this time, and with the special effects of "Avatar", this series must go to the cinema to watch.
Indeed, a good director's ability to accurately control the rhythm of the plot, the three-hour movie will only make the audience feel that time has passed "om", and they still feel that they are still unfinished, and they will not feel "like sitting on pins and needles" at all, and "card god" also has the confidence to respond like this.
Do you think movies of more than three hours are long? Will you go to the cinema?
