Avatar

As most part of the students may know, Avatar is a sci-fi movie from James Cameron. The plot of the film is splendid, but the message which is transmitted is even more fabulous than it looks like.

The plot happens in a period of our history when we are able to find a new planet inhabited by kinds similar to human. However they have developed all their society based in the environmental respect, they are also adapted to connect and communicate with all kinds of life in the planet. These inhabitants are called 'Na'Vi'

An example of a female Na'vi

Our human is not attracted to the planet(which is called Pandora) by the Na'vi people, they are attracted by the resources which existed in that planet. There was a mineral resources capable of produces 100 times more energy than earth has ever seen before. The problem is: he only way to achieve this specific material is to destroy the Na'vi's place, and that's what they try do, or at least try.

The most interesting aspect of he movie is not the plot per si, but what it can be compared to. The behavior of human people in the film is the same as the most powerful countries nowadays, invading and destroying every single piece of obstacle they reach, not caring about social or religious aspects. Another precious aspect is the name of the planet, Pandora, it makes an allusion to the Greek story of the 'Pandora Box'. It tell a story about a girl who receives a beautiful box which she cannot open. Although she just can't wait anymore and opens it, there contained series of evil things and sins. The planet was just like that for the powerful countries as they tried to reach with greed and selfishness but ended up losing, that may be also the consequence of the U.S.A in the Iraq.
