AVATAR: MORE THAN JUST A MOVIE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many films and books describe human evil, aggression and desire of possession opposed by love, inner beauty, harmony and self-sacrifice. In real life, we face the same too often. In many of us wars, violence, political games, lies, and egoistic user lifestyles evoke a desire to hide, to escape to an unreal life, where one can turn to another person and get a second chance. James Cameron\u2019s \u201cAvatar\u201d\u00a0(2009) is a famous and successful movie that deals with the mentioned issues. The action is taking place in not a far (for a human civilization) future, unfortunately, not very happy for the Earth and its inhabitants. Humans of the depleted Earth badly need resources to support their existence. They found a valuable gas on Pandora, but its atmosphere is poisonous for them. To explore a new planet scientists use \u201cavatars,\u201d hybrids, operated by genetically matched humans, which look like Pandora\u2019s Na\u2019vi aborigines. The Na\u2019vi live in an absolute harmony with nature and will fight for their sacred land to the last. Unfortunately, humans always take what they want and somebody\u2019s sacredness can\u2019t stop them, they \u201ccome like rain that never ends,\u201d unless they are stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spiritual and Religious Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jake Sully, a paraplegic former marine gets a chance to join a group of scientists who explore Pandora\u2019s biosphere. He spends three months in his avatar. This time is given to Jake to persuade the Na\u2019vi to move from their colony, so that the Earth representatives could start yielding the gas. Jake has his own egoistic interest in the mission, as he was promised to get enough money to recover his legs. But soon Jake changes his mind.\u00a0As an avatar he receives not only healthy legs and strength, he finds love, freedom and what\u2019s the most important\u00a0himself. \u201cEverything is backwards now. Like out there is the true world, and here is the dream.\u201d This new world gave him a second chance, a second life and the purpose in life, \u201cworth fighting for\u201d. Jake\u2019s transformation speaks for the film\u2019s high spirituality, which is clearly read between lines. Cameron\u2019s message is to make us understand that the true power lies in creation, which is impossible without a strong spirit; violence can lead to destruction only. So, the \u201cAvatar\u201d\u00a0has a close connection to religion. An Irish columnist David Quinn, describes it as not a profound movie, in its own superficial way it deals with profound things \u2014\u00a0indeed, the profoundest thing of all: religion (2010).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Political Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A spiritual and religious matter is opposed by political themes. It\u2019s easy to notice that the The Resources Development Administration (RDA) representatives are prototypes of modern governmental authorities, who often solve problems with weapons. They recognize no defiance, no respect and no pity. They declare somebody an enemy, fight, and take whatever they want. The RDA struggle against the Na\u2019vi resembles conquests of aborigines and their lands by modern people, which took place in the past, and are happening now in the form of war conflicts. Cameron chooses this allegory as an attempt to open our eyes to what is going on around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Environmental Message<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One more issue involved is people and environment. The film director created a realistic model of what possibly can wait for us in future. Earth without forests, fresh water, natural resources can become a real result of human deeds today. Cameron plays with contrasts, opposing a desolate Earth to a rich, awesome and generous Na\u2019vi land. He sends us an environmental message. In one of his interviews, Cameron points out that the \u201cAvatar\u201d\u00a0is\u00a0an environment film . . . It has these things that we all need to be thinking about. It maps to real issues in our world right now . . . What the negative impact of that is going to be to all of us everywhere. It\u2019s how we all lose (2010).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are all humans and must remain humans whatever happens. We are alive and inseparable of nature, no matter how hard we try not to seem such. The secret of happy life, without wars and violence, and anthropogenic disasters is quite simple. It\u2019s harmony. Harmony with environment, each other, and first of all with oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Works Cited<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Avatar.<\/em> Directed by Cameron James, performances by Sam Worthington, Zoe?
