I lol’d reading Avatar’s wiki page and Horner saying this is the toughest musical project he’s ever had to do for Cameron….”toughest project ever” must have meant slightly tweaking Titanic’s main theme for Avatar. Regardless I still love the soundtracks for both movies.

I found Avatar to be much closer to being a remake of Ferngully the Last Rainforest. I mean, it even had the bulldozer.

EXACTLY!!!
If you watch Titanic, Jack says “I see you” to mean “I understand who you are” That's exactly what they use it to mean in Avatar as well. It means, “I recognize you. I acknowledge you.” How did the article author not get that?!

I would like to say after a decade, Cameron sets the avatar of our new generation….The visuals in this pieces was ground breaking. He did it with the Terminator series and then Titanic, so one would expect James Cameron to deliver the goods.I love it.

I noticed the parallel between Avatar and Ferngully, too. I really enjoyed this analysis. Spot on, Jeffrey.

The quote “I see you” is from Titanic….Jack says this to Rose on the upper class deck after showing her his drawings… =)

jack tells rose “i see you” in Titanic also! they're looking at his drawings and she says something like “you have a gift, you see people” and then he says “I see you”.

Ha, that's true Henry. I think there is definitely a formula for mega movie success. But it also takes someone skilled enough to mix that formula enough so people don't know what they're watching. Or perhaps these are all just coincidences…

Hmm… Interesting points!

But wait… with such insightfull analysis now it looks so easy for anyone to make similar movie(just following these rules) and major Oscars, critics praise and billions in box-office guaranteed!!!!

Right?!….

When I first heard Leona Lewis' “I See You”, there were parts that reminded me of Celine Dion's “My Heart Will Go On”. What really got me was the following.

In “I See You”, when she sings “I see you through my eyes”, the “I see” sounded very similar in pitch/rhythm to the 1st 2 words from the following phrases of “My Hear Will Go On”: “Near, far, wherever you are”, “Once more, you open the door”, “You're here, there's nothing I fear”

Both stress and elongated those 2 words with an increasing pitch. I was so expecting Leona Lewis to continue with that melody from “My Heart Will Go On”, but it changed after those first 2 notes.
