Film Response to Avatar
Avatar is perhaps one of the most hyped movies of all time. This is because it came into the market when the revolutionary 3 dimension television was entering the world market. Even more hype was drawn to it due its characters in that are lifelike and the special effects that channel through the viewer's mind as the plot unfolds. James Cameron the director places the storyline in a convincing manner fusing the main parts of the movie namely, the plot, the dialogue, the characters, settings and the themes that make it quite a good movie to catch. The storyline basically evolves around a solder in the US army who happens to be paralyzed half of his body. Due to technological advancements a way through which humans could be transformed into hybrid nature called 'avatar' exists. The avatar's mission is to explore outside destinations. The soldier is recruited to be the traveler to a moon known as the Pandora. As events unfold the viewer is taken into a mental rollercoaster of the Pandora land. Beautiful scenery and untamed thick forests with characters having supernatural powers is what greets the viewer. However conflict arises as the plot picks when the main character Jack Sully falls in love not only with the land but also with Neitiri an inhabitant of the Pandora or the Navi. This was against the wishes of the human creators of the main character the avatar. Soon it's discovered that massive resources exist in Pandora and the human greed takes over. It's decided that the Navis are to be moved by force but the power of determination and good eventually triumphs. The plot of Avatar is in my opinion is original as it's characterized by unique features and motion effects that makes it possible for one to be glued on the screen. Its one of the few elements of the movie that makes it recommended to movie audiences to watch. Also, dialogue of the characters is good as it's minimal but very relevant. Cameron has used nonverbal or body language of the

    I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…

    The Avatar Film Analysis

    • 549 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The director/writers of the film wanted to depict just how greedy and controlling developed nations can be towards undeveloped nations. In the real world this is currently happening with the US and UN trying to change cultures and customs in different nations thinking that they’re looking for what’s in their best interest. In the film the humans did the same thing with the Na’vi people, they invaded their planet, cut down their trees, and built structures on their lands. They also thought they could “sophisticate” these people by building them school and teaching them English. The director depicted human greed very accurately, in the movie the US government invaded and attempted to destroy the planet Pandora Unobtanium.…

The corporations often times abuse the power that is given to them.

    Gattaca Movie Responses

    • 857 Words

    1. When it comes to the depiction of genetic engineering in Gattaca, there are multiple outcomes of the scientific procedure that are positive. The first positive outcome of genetic engineering in the movie was that it allows the parents of children to choose how they want their children to be. When having a child, in the first few months, parents do not know the gender or any of the traits, unless they are genetically tested to determine the phenotype of their offspring. With the genetic engineering the movie, Anton’s parents were allowed to pick out exactly what they wanted their son to look like and also what they wanted his genetics to be. Secondly, the genetic engineering would diminish the chances of offspring being born with any diseases, conditions or disorders. Since scientists could take the genetic fault and fix it before the mother was even impregnated, there wouldn’t be any more children with conditions and disorders that affect them their whole lifetime. In the movie, Vincent was born with a condition that affected his heart and caused him to have a very short life expectancy. On the contrary his brother, Anton, since he was genetically engineered, didn’t have any disorders and was almost in perfect genetic and physical condition. Due to the fact that Vincent had a heart condition and his brother did not, his brother was accepted into Gattaca and Vincent was not (as himself). The last pro of genetic engineering shown in the movie was the fact that if a baby was genetically engineered, they could potentially do anything because their genetics would be perfect. The task of finding the correct person for a job would not be an issue anymore because specific people could be genetically engineered to be good for a certain activity or job. This would mean that people that want to do a certain job but don’t have the correct body for it, wouldn’t be deprived the job that they want. Seemingly, Vincent didn’t have the correct genetic…

    Pandora. Within James Cameron’s Avatar, it is a world filled with wildly exotic plants and animals, often with little resemblance to our own world of Earth. It, like Earth, harbors it’s own sentient species, called the Na’vi. However, the Na’vi are a much more primitive race than humans, and do not react well to human technology and disregard to nature. The movie follow Jake Sully, an unfortunately disabled marine who’s twin brother was a leader in the Avatar program, which consisted of transferring human minds into Na’vi bodies, intended to help improve relations with the native Na’vi. However, Jake’s brother is unfortunately murdered in a mugging, but their identical DNA allows Jake to take his place. Jake, while totally untrained for such a task, accepts the job and, in a fit of irony, ends up being the one ‘human’ Na’vi accepted amongst the natives. Through a long series of events that will be reviewed here, he eventually switches sides and leads the Na’vi in driving the humans from Pandora, and transfers into his Avatar body so he can be with his lover. There are two hero’s journeys within Avatar, the first being Jake’s goal of being accepted into the Na’vi’s society, the second with pushing the humans from Pandora.…

    In terms of characters, both Airbender and Korra provide interesting ones. In Airbender, there's Aang, the Avatar who's childish and originally ran away from his duties. And then there's Katara and Sokka, sister and brother respectively. Katara is the motherly, but stubborn girl. While Sokka is the comic relief, though for a comic relief he can be surprisingly smart. Toph, who's introduced much later on, is the tough, messy, noble girl who was heavily underestimated by her parents because she was blind. In Korra, so far the three characters that are the focus is Korra, the headstrong and impulsive Avatar. There's Mako, who's dark and brooding, yet not overly so as he's shown to smile quite a bit. Bolin is the younger brother of Mako, who also acts as the comic relief and ends up being a big sweetie, despite the fact he was described someone who always had a woman by his side. Despite Korra being…
