| Cameron has released his new film - Avatar | | Date Added: February 13, 2010 11:46:23 AM |
| Avatar is among the most popular Internet searches today. It is in 9 nominations for the Oscar 2010 and is likely to win a few awards. Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film scripted and directed by prolific film director James Cameron, with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang playing the leading parts.
The term "avatar" has its origins in Indian mythology. It means "god's visit to Earth to fix smth that is broken". Being one of the three gods who protect creation, Vishnu visits Earth regularly. As Hindu mythology state, Vishnu is dark-blue in color. James Cameron has also decided to make the aliens blue.
The film is set in th future (in the year 2154). It emphasises the ever-lasting human vices: gluttony, immaturity and violence resulting from ignorance.
The plot revolves around a soldier - Jack - who is sent to Pandora the planet located in the Alpha Centauri star system to help The Corporation that wants to mine and export unobtainium - a precious mineral. The Na'vi are the alien arboreal humonoid civilization that thrives on the planet. They are a part of a vast symbiotic living system that comprises plants and animals which are connected by an intricate biological interaction network. The Corporation plans to mine the planet and the Na'vi fight for their homeland. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the existence of the local tribe.
Jack is taken in by the Na'vi and gets acquainted with their labguage, culture and habitat. Natirii, the female Na'vi he meets, helps him through this trip.
Avatars are biological creations - a mixture of human and alien DNA. They are not self-aware and are controlled by a human whose DNA they were made from. The soldier controls an avatar that is made from his brother's DNA.
AVATAR is an idealistic movie demonstrating an ideal world. The ending is particularly moving. The visual effects are spectacular. The alien world Cameron and his highly professional team display to the viewer is one of the most thought-out and consistent. The movie is worth viewing. |
