Avatar: The Blue Creatures of Pandora
Avatar. 2009. James Cameron. Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen
Lang, Michelle Rodriguez.
It all opens with the overview of the trees and sky of what it looks like to be, Pandora. Sam
Worthington, who plays Jake Sully a paraplegic marine veteran, wakes up strapped in a bed­like tube with wires all around him. He is put into a tough predicament to fill his twin brother’s shoes, someone who has been preparing for a mission for three years prior. He had a twin brother named Tommy who was a scientist that was involved in a high­level program and was fatally shot before he was to leave to his journey to explore the world of
Pandora for a piece of paper. Jake never thought he would be going to this place but he was offered Tommy’s contract since he has his exact genome, he could take his spot. Pandora from the sky looks just like Earth but it was a place like no other. Jake is about to embark on a new chapter in his life, placing his facemask on and going into the new atmosphere of
Pandora. Jake immediately went into a military briefing lead by Colonel Miles Quaritch played by Stephen Lang. He informed all new personnel of Pandora’s population known as the Na’vi.
The Colonel states they are “hard to kill” and everything out there will try and kill you and the best way to survive is to obey “Pandora rules”. After the briefing Jake goes into the science lab where he meets other members of the avatar Program and this is where they present what it is all about. Jake sees his own avatar for the first time, these avatars are genetically­bred human­Na’vi hybrid that enables the human to link to it and exist as a Na’vi native. We meet Dr. Grace Augustine played by Sigourney Weaver, the program’s science lead. She is upset that Jake is there instead of his brother that studied for the mission for three years. She walks into the

    In the middle of my drawing is the most important part of the whole story of Jake, Reinvented. It is a picture of Jake and Didi being “in love.” This is the main disillusionment of the whole story because Jake is pretending to be something he is not just so that he can finally be with the girl that he has loved since middle school. He finally gets to be with her, but the catch is that she has a boyfriend that is the star football player, Todd. Didi ends up falling for Jake just because he is becoming so popular and she thinks it will make her look better, but the truth is, she will never leave Todd no matter what. IN the picture, Jake is wearing a football jersey that represents his role on the school’s football team. Jake and Didi are both thinking of things…

    In person, Jake appeared to be just one of the guys. Nothing fancy about himself, very humble and charismatic. After listening to Jake speak briefly about his life, family and his pursuit of his innate being, you can tell he’s sincere and dedicated to his craft and family. Jake was also instrumental in terms of being relative due to his Western New York origins. He can relate to Buffalonians and our struggle as a city in a financial crisis, where one side of the city’s future is in question while another side of the city’s future looks lucrative.…

    In Avatar, the crossing of the threshold is the same in both the subplot and plot. After the humans lose the war and leave the planet, Jake makes the decision to transfer from his human body to his avatar form in order to become a true Na’vi. The Na’vi have made Jake sully truly understand nature and have made him realize that he will be truly happy if he becomes a Na’vi. In the beginning of the movie, the kernel promised Jacob that if he succeeded in his journey, the kernel would get jake proper legs and ironically, when jake becomes a true Na’vi, he gets the legs he was promised by the person who became his enemy. While Jake does not cross a physical threshold, he passes a mental threshold and becomes who he was really meant to be and is no longer the person he used to be (literally). Jake has changed his outlooks in life at this point and his priorities have now changed from his old life as he is now Na’vi. This threshold crossing moment makes it easy to understand the change that Jake has gone through throughout the story and is necessary to finish out the plot. The crossing of the threshold wraps up the story in order to give Jake his freedom to live and provides closure to the movie,…

    In the beginning, Jake appears to be totally disconnected and alienated from the natural environment. He can't relax because he is afraid of it and views it as something dangerous that needs to be tamed by humans. When he starts living with the Na'vi and is taught their ways, he has difficulty assimilating. As Neytiri points out in their first encounter, Jake's alienation from nature makes him "ignorant like a child" (Avatar) and unable to appreciate and live in the natural environment. However, he slowly changes and finally becomes part of nature's network. The change starts from the outside and slowly moves to the inside. He first changes on the surface, that is a change of the body, but soon Jake feels an internal confusion. He is not sure in which world he belongs and who he really is. He admits that he can barely remember his old life and that the Na'vi's world seems more authentic. He finally realizes the energy that exists in nature and learns to appreciate every living organism. He admits that he has fallen in love with the forest and with the Na'vi's way of living. He even reaches to the point of fighting against humans to protect Pandora's natural environment and the Na'vi's way of life. Jake is transformed from a contemporary individual…

    Jake controls how well he behaves, using image as a grand part of his motivation. First, the author portrays Jake's worries towards the bumpers of the car before thinking of the other people involved in the accident. After finding out that there is not an 'impressionable' scratch,"he perks up". Then, while talking to Mariana, "he straightened out his less than new but not "unhip" clothes," while he is attempting to straighten out the mess with the car accident. This description of imagery on himself depicts his lack of respect for others and conceit when it came to what is more important according to him.…

    Jake resents the fact that he is so isolated but doesn't want to take the initiative to change his lifestyle. He resents how neglectful he has been of his daughter, Bernice, and resentful that he has never been able to live up to his father's expectations as a child. When Jake brings Bernice along to finally meet her grandfather, she is effortlessly accepted by him. Jake has always tried so hard to be accepted by his father, but all of his attempts had either gone unnoticed like how "the old man hadn't been around when [he was awarded with a] certificate [in Red Cross life-saving]", or when they had failed. He "[has] always resented that about [his father]; his attitude [towards his frailness]". His father had been somewhat understanding, so he showed it through his polite smiles. The emptiness of those smiles had hurt Jake through the years, stripping…
