Avatar : The Spiritual Leader Of The Omaticaya Clan

Thesis: In my examination to identify leaders that characterized the attributes that represent pioneering, energizing, deliberate, resolute, commanding, affirming, and inclusive dimensions of leadership, I have chosen Nefertiti, Cleopatra VII, and Hatshepsut of Egypt.

They worship Eywa, a Great Mother Goddess, who was describe as a “network of energy that flows through all living things” (Cameron, 2009). Everything that is apart of their land is apart of Eywa, and this is the pantheistic view, that “God and the universe are equal” (Phillips et al., 2008). The Na’vi believed that all living things are connected and that at death, one’s soul is joined with Eywa. Neytiri says to Jake that “all energy is only borrowed and one day you have to give it back” (Cameron, 2009). Interestingly, towards the end of the movie, Jake Sully the hero, prays to the Na’vi god and declares that humans had not been good stewards over their land by stating, “There’s no green there” (Cameron, 2009).

It's not meant for human life. Only for the Na’vis and predators. The air is toxic and is denser than earth's atmosphere. It is only 18% carbon dioxide in pandora.

“I guess that’s the thing about a hero’s journey. You might not start out as a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change, which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes you, whether or not you know it, and whether or not you want it to,” (Kami Garcia). The movie Avatar, released in 2009 and directed by James Cameron, is an example of a main plot and a subplot carried by the hero’s journey and has many examples of other archetypes. Avatar is about Jake Sully, an ex-marine, who takes over his dead brother’s place on a scientific mission to a planet called Pandora. Their goal is to collect a natural resource, Unobtanium, and bring it back to Earth. A clan of Na’vi’, human-like creatures, called the Omaticaya, live in a tree right on top of the main source of the Unobtanium. Jake Sully’s task is to enter an “avatar” body disguised as a Na’vi’ and learn as much as he can about their kind and what the humans have to do to relocate their clan. Eventually, the Omaticaya assimilate Jake into their clan and teach him their ways, not knowing that he is one of the “sky people”, or humans. As the plot of Avatar moves on, Jake begins to change his opinions on the Navi, the idea of nature, and which side he should fight for with help of

Avatar is a live action film about a human colony that has been established on a distant planet called Pandora. The humans are going after an uncommon mineral that could settle an ecological crisis that is affecting planet Earth. However, their plans

The film “Avatar” written and directed by, James Cameron, is a great way to show how Joseph Campbell’s hero cycle works. It seems to best represent the very old tradition that so many tales, young and old, have displayed. If we take a close look at Avatar, we can see how James Cameron has used the hero cycle. The characters in the story play a big role in the hero cycle. The protagonist, Jake, the mother goddess, Ewya, the mentor, Dr.Grace, the protector, Neytiri, and the antagonist, Colonel Quaritch, are some of the most important characters in Avatar.

The movie Avatar is a box office hit that was released in 2009, directed by James Cameron. The film is based around an ex-marine who became after a paraplegic after an unexplained wound. He takes up his brother role in a Avatar program on the distant pnet pandora after her brother's death. He is expects to take on the role of becoming a Na'vi and becoming involved with the people learning their culture, becoming close and apart of their tight clan. Specifically the Omaticaya tribe (Blue Flute Clan). Throughout the film the it becomes increasingly obvious that the Omaticaya people have a strong sense of spiritually within their clan.

In contrast of the Aeneid’s gods, there is a divine spirit in the film “Avatar”, where the primary numen is the sacred "tree of souls" called Eywa. The tribe of Na'vi – a humanoid species inhabiting Pandora, worship to Eywa, their “mother”. In a counterweight of the Greek goddess, Eywa is concerned not with the well-being of the Na'vi, but the deity that keeps the ecosystem of Pandora in perfect

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 movie Avatar was directed by Canadian James Cameron, the renowned director of Titanic, and was released in 2009. In addition to holding the record for the highest worldwide earnings in the box office, the movie has won three Oscars. However, the Na’vi, the natives of the planet Pandora, are comparable to the Aboriginals. This is evident through the similarities in culture and religion, the attitude of those who came to their land, and the events that took place.

In James Cameron’s films they all found a major success with the science diction action theme. Avatar is a perfect example of how the worlds blend perfectly for an acceptable amount of time. The real world, according to the Na’vi people of Pandora is visualized as a peaceful setting that can be compared to a church. In Avatar, there is a tree that symbolizes their perfect equilibrium. "Who's Eywa?

On another note, because of its close relationship with people and their culture, religion is one sensitive subject that, when challenged, can catalyze full on war, as shown in Cameron’s Avatar. The film takes place in a faraway planet inhabited by a people called the Na’vi. The Na’vi have strong belief in Eywa, their mother goddess. When humans come to colonize the planet, known as Pandora, and take its resources, the Na’vi turn to Eywa to protect them. The Na’vi pray to her and ask her to protect their lands, their goddess, and the jungle. The humans look at this unfaltering faith and laugh. They believe their religionless structure and industrialism is superior. Morton Deutsch, the E.L. Thorndike Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Education

The food chain on Pandora is interesting seeing as how the smartest inhabitants on the planet are simply surviving. They are not at the top of the food chains with all the bigger predators on the planet. The movie shows the food chain indirectly having herbivores and their predators. It doesn't show what they eat necessarily but it shows off the balance of creatures with several of them obviously being predators and others being prey.

Greek mythology, a wide variety of stories concerning of Greek gods and divinities, has introduced an extensive amount of myths that have bewildered the minds of all for numerous generations. One myth in particular has made itself known more so than any others, with its theme reappearing countless times in poems, lite novels, and art. Pandora, the supposedly first woman, has left an everlasting impact on society through her imaginative story and mystifying conclusion.

Movies create realities. As life tells the stories of each, each moulds the reality which he/she believes in. Movies are like these stories of life, but recorded within the bandwidth of camera to capture a perspective. Also, movies are applied to reality, are the reflection of the world, or are the doorsteps of escaping reality – fantasy. As of what James Cameron’s Avatar, this movie reflected the three statements above this sentence. Avatar is a critical acclaimed hit when it released, spanning dollars after dollars of sales and revenue. The question remains, what is the story of this movie? As for these statements about Avatar, this blog would try to answer some key aspects of the film through the set questions given by lecturer – though not all questions will be answered.
