3 Themes Of Avatar

The film is not only able to show the way humanity has lost contact with nature but also how much they appreciate and want it back in their society.

The topics I will be explaining are depicted in the movie avatar that we have studied this year. Like Tragedy of the commons, Carbon footprints, Populations, and Food chains/food webs. Tragedy of the commons in the movie is the avatars are getting around pandora to get a special item and there are creatures that are trying to take them down. But the avatars have to try to defend themselves in order the survive. Carbon footprints in Pandora does not exist.The food chains/food web in Pandora are the Na’vis, thanators, and leonopteryxs.

My theme was fear. Fear is constantly involved with everyone everyday.It can be from having a fear of heights or fear of failing a test. Fear impacts in society because everyone fears of something.For example, one of the biggest fears in this world currently is the presidency of Donald Trump. Many people of the United States especially immigrants fear that Donald Trump isn’t going to treat them fairly. The immigrants show how scared they are and how their lives are about to change because of Donald Trump. They show their fears throughout social media, the news, and even in public protest. They fear of the outcome of Donald Trump. Fear has contributed in this world through many occasions and people have learned how to deal with it.

do think there are two that stand out. These two themes are survival and cooperation.

It encourages human beings to see themselves as part of the ecological system and to be one with nature. It questions the hierarchies of empires and of the human and natural world itself, suggesting that we must learn to love and transcend with the natural world, instead of seeking domination over it.

Avatar is a blockbuster film from 2009 and one of my most favorite Sci-fi films of all time. The film was directed by James Cameron, who is known for directing films like Titanic (1997), Aliens (1986), and the Terminator (1984), all of which helped shape the film industry into what it is today. Although at the time, there was a recession and people were trying to save money, this movie became the highest grossing film in at the time. The movie provided stunning 3D technology unlike any other movie and this was one of the reasons that made people want to go watch the film. From visual effects to the camera angles, James Cameron directed this movie to make the audience feel like they are in the movie. Although the film looked amazing, there were messages and themes inside the film that made it such a success. The film provoked discussions about various messages and themes embedded inside the film, such as terrorism, Imperialism, religious connections, and connections to current world. Such messages can be clearly seen throughout the plot of the movie.

The ecosystem perspective can be defined as using a person’s family, social conditions, living situations, and even culture to help intervene and impact there life in a positive way. The subject that I want to focus on is the movie Precious. This movie is based the story of a sixteen year old girl Claireece Jones. She was continually raped by her biological father and has birthed two children fathered by him. This movie goes through the struggle to raise her daughter, (who suffers from down syndrome), and make her life better. She has trouble overcoming the struggles of her daily life, such as poverty and the neglectfulness of her parents. In an environment that is nothing but struggles and socioeconomic downfalls, she wants to overcome it all. She has help from a teacher and a social worker who really want to help her change her life for the better.

While analyzing Avatar, it’s safe to say that there isn’t one main theme, but plenty. One main theme of Avatar is the flow of energy and the beauty of nature. “She said all energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back,” (Cameron, 2009). Another huge theme in Avatar is the battle between Mother Nature and humans. “Our Great Mother does not take sides. She protects only the balance of life,” (Cameron, 2009). This quote is said by the Na’vi character Neytiri when Jake tries to ask Mother Nature to help him in his battle against the humans. In the end, Mother Nature does end up taking a stand and fighting for the preservation of life. Issues like corporations destroying nature for profit, the lack of respect for living creatures, and the failed policies of "military diplomacy" that the USA continues to pursue are just a few of the other themes behind Avatar. It would be ridiculous to say that the deep, meaningful themes from Avatar are just a copy of the weak, childish message from Pocahontas.

The show I’ll be using to depict various unit topics throughout this course will be Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward. The show originally began where twelve- year-old Finn battles evil in the Land of Ooo. Assisted by his magical dog, Jake, Finn roams the Land of Ooo righting wrongs and battling evil. Usually that evil comes in the form of the Ice King, who is in search of a wife. He's decided he should wed Princess Bubblegum, though she doesn't want to marry him.

In addition to the spiritual vision, parallels between Gaia and Eywa exist in the ecofeminist environmental vision of natural harmony. Within this segment of ecofeminism, the focus departs from the religious and settles on a utopian vision of global interconnection. Like Pandora, Earth is viewed as a one enormous ecosystem, where all life is linked to each other. Humans are no exception despite the blind ignorance that keeps us from our role within Gaia, Earth’s self-regulating biosphere. Unlike most human beings, the Na’vi recognize the importance of natural harmony on Pandora.

In the 21st century, movies present a platform for ideas and themes to be conveyed through a screen. Themes of change, environmental crisis, love, and death are all only a few of the most common themes that circulate through the Hollywood film industry. According to Annalee Newitz in her essay “When Will White People Stop Making Movies Like Avatar?”, a recurring theme she’s noticed is the theme of white guilt. In her essay, Newitz depicts the movie Avatar as nothing more than a colorful rehash of this (apparently) common white guilt scenario. This is where the main white protagonist leaves the oppressive (white) side to join the oppressed native side upon seeing the error of his ways. Some Americans, including Newitz, believe that movies

Avatar is the one of many films that address the major environmental issues of today’s world, one which happens to be about sustainability. The film foreshadows the reality of the Earth by 2154. In particular, Avatar demonstrates the results of overusing natural resources and thus forcing humans to continue to destroy other areas of nature for sources of energy. Since there is no longer energy on Earth, the only option is to seek out energy from a natural habitat where indigenous Na’vis have been living for years. In addition, since there is no energy, Earth is not able to sustain organic life or rich produce. Furthermore, the place is called Pandora and contains an atmosphere that is toxic to humans forcing them to wear masks. There are no megacities or urban environments here, only raw, organic nature that is preserved and cared for after the Na’vi. Here, sustainability is successful because the people recognize the aesthetic justification. Above all, the Na’vi also refuse to partake in deathly acts which reserves the limited amount of energy that they have. Avatar also touch bases with the moral justification aspect where the Na’ vi humans discern that their mission is to aid the environment to persist contributing to the success of sustainability on Pandora for future generations. The respect and gratitude that the Na’vi have for nature contrasts greatly with the way humans have respect towards nature. As time passes, the development of energy is limited and is valuable

These themes that are portrayed, include materialism, the corruption of dreams and idealism, which all come under the larger theme of searching for human fulfilment.

In my opinion, there were many common themes displayed in the video. The themes varied. They were deeper than how they appeared. Some of the themes that were discussed in the video dealt with; the perception of Individuals, Tradition, Building up characteristics and the

This film demonstrates the conflict between man vs nature. Another perspective that is seen is symbolic internationalism. The destruction of the Home Tree in Avatar could be related to a terrorist attack in the
