| AVATAR is one of the most popular Internet searches today. It is in nine nominations for the Oscar 2010 and is very likely to get several awards. Avatar is a 2009 US science fiction film written and directed by prolific film director James Cameron, with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang playing the lead roles. The term Avatar has its origins in Hindu mythology. It means "god's visit to Earth to fix smth that is broken". Being one of the three gods protecting creation, Vishnu visits Earth often. According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu is dark-blue in colour. James Cameron has also decided to make the aliens blue. The film is set in th future (in the year 2154). It touches upon the ever-lasting human vices, such as greed, immaturity and violence arising out of ignorance. The story revolves around a soldier - Jack - who is sent to Pandora the moon situated in the Alpha Centauri star system in order to help The Corporation aiming to mine and export unobtainium - a precious mineral. The Na'vi are the alien sentient humonoid civilization that thrives on the planet. They are a part of a big symbiotic living system that comprises both animals and plants which are connected by a biological communication network. The Corporation intends to mine the moon and the Na'vi fight for their fatherland. The speedy expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of the local tribe. When on a mission, Jake is taken in by the Na'vi and explores their labguage, culture and habitat. He falls in love with a female Na'vi who helps him when he is lost in the forest. Avatars are biological creations made from alien and human DNA. They are controlled by a human from whose DNA they were made. The soldier takes control of an avatar that is made from his brother's DNA. AVATAR draws a rosy picture of an ideal world. The end of the film is particularly poignant. The visual effects are captivating. The alien world Cameron and his team display to the viewer is one of the most carefully thought-out and consistent. The movie is worth watching. |
