Avatar is number one at the box office. As Bina said, it is BIG. Apparently it is too big for some folks. As CNN reports, there is a growing problem with people suffering from "Avatar Depression."
There are even people considering suicide after the movie, because they can't go live with the 10 feet tall blue people.
As one post-Avatar Depression sufferer wrote online, "When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed ... gray. It was like my whole life, everything I've done and worked for, lost its meaning 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."
You can't make this stuff up. One clinic shrink was even quoted as saying the movie is so engaging that after sitting through the 2 and a half hour movie these people are having classic separation anxiety. Other suffers say they have been helped by playing the Avatar video game. The doctor on the other hand says human connections are what suffers should look for instead of suicide. Of course, if they had any real human connections would they be getting depressed over a movie?
