In one of the central scenes Avatar, James Cameron, Jack Sully (Sam Worthington) looks with surprise at the world around him. Travel in a spaceship around the soaring mountains of the fictional world of Pandora and the scenery couldn’t be more amazing. “You should have seen your face,” pilot Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) says with satisfaction.
But she also has an expression of deep joy. The beauty that surrounds them is wild, unexplored and total.. A snapshot of the impossible landscape that unfolds around the heroes in all their might.
It is likely that the theatrical re-release Avatar have a similar effect on the public. The blue landscapes of Pandora, with their abundance of unknown fauna and flora, are still formidable cinematic locations.
Even for an audience accustomed to all sorts of special effects and rethinking reality thanks to digital technology. Despite thirteen years of release, Avatar continues to be an important milestone in Hollywood history.
From the blinding skies of Pandora
Not only thanks to its visual section, the accuracy of which is even more infamous, but also to its script, which is characterized by exceptional spirituality. A pop culture classic designed to unite generations of fans. Avatar it is a rarity. In addition to its merits as a high-end manufacturing and commercial product, it is also a journey through ideas that are still innovative.
Most of them, atypical for science fiction, adventure and action movies depth. Based on the well-known idea of a person assimilating a foreign culture as his own, the love that Pandora awakens in Sally is quite symbolic.
One that deepens perception nature as a living being capable of containing all the abstractions of the transcendent. Much more, which includes a version of personality in the midst of a deep connection with the intangible.
Avatarmore than just a commercial comeback
The one that was the highest-grossing film in history for ten years has undeniable value as a feature film. At the same time, it is an emotional journey through the narrative, which raises questions that are relevant today more than ever.
From colonialism and ecology, to connection with the invisible and the perception of the spiritual as a common thread. Avatar he was ahead of his time and took the first step towards the genre of cinematic work with a kind of allegorical weight..
Pandora, an untouched world, wild and dazzling, has emerged from special effects to immerse yourself in human nature. The future that Cameron shows is so similar to the pessimistic one that he explored in aliens — leaves the Earth as a painful memory.
“You can see what they’ve done to our world and what they want to do with it,” says Jack Sully, trying to connect with Eywa, the Na’vi’s ruling deity. It’s not hard to imagine a dystopian future that hails from a colony of humans eager to explore a prosperous planet.
Cinematic Lesson of Visual and Narrative
“It’s money, it all comes down to money, and that’s what we’re here for,” says Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), trying to explain his intentions on Pandora. “No matter how we hide it, we are looking for riches.” Cameron who could turn an environmental epic Avataravoids it in a preaching and moralistic work because of its simplicity.
Neither men nor women who look at the hostile planet of floating mountains through glass, nor those who dare to penetrate inside it, know what they will find. “This is the cutest and most toxic ecosystem you will ever encounter,” Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) explains to the tense crowd. “Everyone around you will want to kill you one way or another.”
But in fact, Pandora is much more than its aggressive atmosphere or its unknown natives. Cameron created a mythology based on every fact and circumstance surrounding his world.. In the same way, it supports all decisions of the beings inhabiting it. When Jack Sully, assimilated into Na’vi culture, kills an animal out of compassion, Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) looks up to him with respect. “You’re ready,” she says softly. Suddenly, a cruel planet that can kill with a single breath of air becomes a challenge. And also in a multicolored and radiant landscape of subtle tenderness. AT Avatarnature becomes a shelter and a home.
Avatar again in the cinema as an amazing show
Nothing Avatarit’s coincidental, and it took Cameron 13 years to replicate the sinister connection between the technique and the subject he wants to show. The director makes it clear that even in this return to theaters, there is a lot of celebration. Revival includes ten minutes Avatar: the path of waterlong-awaited sequel to the originaland the sequence is striking in its subtlety.
This is not a Hollywood-style reimagining—a louder, bigger, or more complex concept—but an improvement on where it came from. Now, instead of soaring mountains, it is a sea of extraordinary blue that stretches into a magical moment that the camera sublimates out of tenderness. The little scene shows something obvious.
Cameron once again managed to make his film an allegory that includes many others. Also, a great view of the world that is connected to something big and pure. Without a doubt, the greatest merit of the production is that it returns to the screens to impress an entirely new audience.
