The Truth behind what you felt after watching "Avatar"

The "Avatar Effect"

The whole world has watched in awe as this epic 


3D sensation has been causing ripples and echoes in 


every place on earth that you could imagine. Who 


hasn't watched the movie or seen the trailers, 


with "bigscreen adverts" worldwide and lots of 


media buzz. 


At least you have heard of the movie even if you 


have not watched it; it is presently gathering a lot of 


media attention because of the sales that have been 


made from the Box office. It is currently touted as 


the number 2 movie of all time.

But hold on a second........

Can all of you who watched the movie tell me how 


you truly felt after the movie ended or in the course 


of watching....................?

Many of you have not been following the news 


closely enough then!

There have widespread media reports of depression 


and even contemplations of suicides by so many 


people who have watched this "3D Masterpeice" 


that any right thinking person will find it truly 


disturbing!

What you have not been told is the actual number of 


people who have actually engaged in self-harm or 


injuring others as an indirect effect of viewing this 


movie.

YES............................................................

Subconsciously, you've all experienced the 


"AVATAR EFFECT" !

The "Avatar effect" is similar to a combination of 


what you experience when you have withdrawal 


symptoms of an addictive drug in addition to 


feeling the rush effect of the drug the first time you 


ever get exposed to it. Some refer to it as


 "The Avatar Blues".

The Avatar effect is not yet scientifically backed 


by any evidence of what it does subconciously to 


your mind but many movie goers have attested to 


the fact that they are finding it hard to cope

with thier "confused feelings" after watching the 


movie.

So many forums have posts by people looking for 


ways to cope with the dull, lifeless feeling they 


now have from having watched it.

So many forums, blogs and websites talk about an 


avatar effect relating the movie to global 


warming, the effect of the movie on the 


worlds' movie industry and all that stuff but mark 


my words - what you read here is the true meaning 


and implication of the Avatar movie and this is a 


growing threat that is just beginning...........

I will suggest that you do a Google search with the 


search string "Avatar movie + Depression" and 


go through the results.............

If that does not scare you then nothing else will.......!

From the scientific findings of studies on depression, 


it would not be  impossible to assume that the


depression people have felt after viewing Avatar 


occurs in a similar manner to "Classic Depression"  


where, to put it simply, there is a depletion of 


chemicals in the brain (called neurotransmitters- 


SEROTONIN to be exact!) 

such that it affects the ways we sleep, eat and 


behave. The depletion of this neurotransmitter 


affects our feelings and we generally become 


sad, depressed and our behaviour becomes 


altered.

There will be a lot of full-fledged studies into the 


true cause and nature of  this disturbing phenomenon 


to find out how specifically the "Avatar Effect" 


occurs. 


This is just a warning for those who are already 


having symptoms of the after-effects of watching to 


observe thier symptoms and be wary of what they 


feel from time to time.

It would be advisable for all those experiencing any 


symptoms not to be too far away from family or


friends when experiencing these 


feelings or to report to thier doctors immediately till 


more updates about this disturbing phenomenon can 


be provided.
