Avatar film and its main plot themes

By: Gabriel Watson

Avatar is spoken about everywhere. It is in nine nominations for the Oscar 2010 and is very likely to get a few awards. Avatar is a 2009 US science fiction film scripted and directed by famous film director James Cameron, with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang starring.
The word Avatar comes from Indian mythology. It is "god's visit to Earth to fix smth that is broken". Vishnu, one of the 3 gods who shield creation, visits Earth regularly. According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu is dark-blue in colour. Having been possibly inspired by Hindu mythology, Cameron has also decided to paint the aliens blue.
Set in the year 2154 on an alien planet called Pandora placed the Alpha Centauri star system, Avatar movie tells the eternal story of gluttony, immaturity and the ferocity resulting from ignorance.
The plot revolves around a soldier - Jack - who is sent to Pandora the planet located in the Alpha Centauri star system in order to help The Corporation intending to mine and export unobtainium - a precious mineral. The Na'vi are the alien sentient humonoid civilisation that thrives on the planet. They are a part of a vast symbiotic living system that includes plants and animals which are connected by a biological communication network. The Corporation intends to mine the planet and the Na'vi fight for their motherland. The quick expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of the local tribe.
While on a mission, Jake is taken in by the Na'vi and explores their culture, language and habitat. Natirii, the female Na'vi he meets in the forest, helps him through this journey.
Avatars are biological creations made from human and alien DNA. They are controlled by a human whose DNA they were made from. The soldier takes control of an avatar that is made from his brother's DNA.
AVATAR is an idealistic film showing an ideal world. The end of the film is particularly poignant. The visual effects are breath-taking. Being a skillful film maker, Cameron has created one of the most thought-out and consistent movies. The movie is really worth viewing.
