Sorry, but I can't connect to a character that is barely written at all. Zoe did her best with an underwritten cardboard character, but in the end that's not enough to make any kind of meaningful emotional connection. I have no issues with Cameron in general, he has directed some of my all time favorite films. I don't even have major issues with this film. I liked it! I'm just trying to get people to cool it with the hyperbole, and start examining the movie using analytical and critical thought. That's a discussion. Just rehashing the same ejaculatory "It was so emotional!" or "It ROCKED!" or "Best movie experience EVER!" type statements does not make for fruitful discussion. And no offense, but it also doesn't help that most of the people who are foaming at the mouth gaga over this film most likely haven't seen enough films or know enough about movies (and I'm talking films of all kinds, not just your typical mainstream films that everyone has seen) to have any kind of meaningful perspective on the film itself. They have their opinions, but they're not coming from a background that involves an in depth and wide ranging engagement with film. That's fine, but it does not make for very meaningful or worthwhile discussion.
