En esos cuentos de toda la vida no hay tanta simbología, aparte de las explicaciones rebuscadas que quieran darles algunos para buscarle un sentido esotérico. Y tampoco generan depresión ni pensamientos suicidas (tal vez se te escapó este detalle porque se mencionó en el artículo en portugués). Quizás entiendas mejor este:
The Avatar effect: Movie-goers feel depressed and even suicidal at not being able to visit utopian alien planet
By Liz Thomas
A utopian planet inhabited by blue aliens is the ideal setting for a bit of cinematic escapism.
But the world of the sci-fi epic Avatar is so perfect the line between fact and fiction has become somewhat blurred.
Movie-goers have admitted being plagued by depression and suicidal thoughts at not being able to visit the planet Pandora.
Set in the future when Earth's resources have been depleted, director James Cameron's film tells the story of a corporation trying to mine a rare mineral.
The humans clash with the natives - a peace-loving race of 7ft tall, blue-skinned creatures called the Na'vi, who exist in perfect harmony with nature.
Fans have flooded the internet with their confused feelings. On the site Avatar Forums, the topic 'Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible' has more than 1,000 posts.
In a similar forum, one user wrote: 'When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed grey. It just seems so meaningless.
'I still don't really see any reason to keep doing things at all. I live in a dying world.'
On another site, one fan was even more affected, admitting: 'I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora.'
On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Na'vi tribe.
The blockbuster movie - which has already taken more than $1billion at the box office - tells the story of a disabled marine sent on a mission to a planet called Pandora, home to a race of giant blue aliens.
Humans are intent on exploiting the planet for its resources but clash with the native Na'vi, who inhabit their world in perfect harmony with nature.
This fantasy world, with its weird and wonderful plant and animal life, is brought to life using stunning special effects.
The Consumer Electronics Show, which ended in Las Vegas on Sunday, saw the advent of 3D televisions making most of the news.
Many commentators believe that 2010 is the breakthrough year for the technology helped by 3D movies such as Avatar.

Por supuesto que no tiene esos efectos en todos los espectadores, pero está claro que sí está hecha adrede con esa simbología. Al público se le pasará por alto, pero todos elementos demoniacos están ahí. Además, aun sin ver la película, nada más las fotos son como para dar pesadillas.
