Colonel Miles gets impatient with the slow progress of the Avatar system and wants to go to war with the Na’vi so he can get the Unobtainium faster.

She sees Jake as an unintelligent, brainless, violence obsessed marine who doesn’t deserve a place in her program. As time progresses, Grace grows fond of Jake, his helpful tendencies and selflessness.
At the start of the film Jake Sully arrived on Pandora searching for a purpose in his life. He states early in the movie saying “all I ever wanted was a single thing worth fighting for”. This shows that he only accepted the job because he wanted to experience something new and have something to live for. Characterisation is represented when he presents himself military style with a
The acting in the film is prominently well. Every character really stands out from another. The protagonists in the movie are George Milton, who is played by Gary Sinise, and Lennie Small, who is played by John Malkovich. George Milton is almost like a big brother to Lennie, he is what you would picture when reading the book, he is also smart, the mastermind to Lennie
Quaritch Jake Sully was finally able to go out on his own into Pandora. Jake didn’t listen to the knowledge that Col. Quaritch told him and it almost got Jake Sully killed. After the speech that Jake received he went out into Pandora. As he was walking around looking at the beautiful nature of Pandora he came across a heard of wild animals unlike he has ever seen before. His first instinct was to kill them, but his partner warned him not to run to stand his ground. After the animals ran away Jake turned around and there it was the beast of the land a tiger. Jake asked his partner what to do and she said, “ run.” After he finally got away night fall came Jake was scared. Animals started attacking him and here to the rescue was the chief of the Na’vi tribes daughter Neytiri. That is when everything changed. Neytiri brought Jake into the tribe and he learned their ways and started to fall in love with Neytiri and everyone else in the tribe. Jake started to forget his mission which was to move the Na’vi off the land instead he warned them that people where coming to destroy their land. He prepared the Na’vi to fight. Jake finally started taking all of his knowledge and the emotions he had and he started doing what he thought he had to do to protect the Na’vi tribe. Pathos started to arise during this time. He was fighting for his people and not the people he thought he was suppose to be fighting with. In the end Jake was fully

In order to explore Pandora, a group of scientists consist of Dr. Grace and Norm Spellman used Na'vi body media named "Avatar", which is genetically created for this exploration.

As Jake zeroes in on his quarry, he finds himself doing things he never thought he’d do. And rather than try a different approach, he embraces his actions and digs in. Any cost is worth rescuing the children, even if it means losing his

Jake and Neytiri did not immediately become lovers. They were strangers first, even enemies. By spending time together, they learn about each other’s personalities and communication styles. Jake soon discovers what it means to be “seen” which is to see the soul of the other. After Jake becomes accepted in the clan, the easier it was to proceed from friendship to a romantic relationship. Their dyadic communication deepened alongside their interpersonal
The cast includes Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, Ivan Dixon and Louis Gossett. The film was remade in 2008 as a television film starring Sean Combs and Phylicia Rashad, but we strongly recommend watching the original film. You can find the original trailer on

First of all, Jake has been through adversity throughout his life, for his service during World War l has resulted him in major injuries that affected the way he runs his life. He often does not speak about the incident, even when he does he is very vague and does not go into detail. This shows that he is a subtle man, and likes
This movie will appeal to mostly male audience because there is a lot of shooting and explosions involved. The romance is non-existent while the dramatic moments are average at best. I can imagine a "sausage fest"
Jake, the film’s protagonist, begins as a “jar head marine” oblivious to his commanders plan to eradicate the Na-vi’s village. Though as the films storyline progresses, Jakes softer side of his personality is introduced. He becomes accepted into the Na’vi and is taught their way of life. We learn that the Na’vi are very much connected with their Mother “Eywa”, and always treat every organism with respect, understanding all consequences. Jake soon realises that the Na’vi are actually very peaceful, the opposite of what he had been told, “Indigenous population of humanoids here called the Na’vi. They’re very fond of arrows dipped in a neurotoxin which can stop you’re heart in one minute. We operate – we live – at a constant threat.”. Jake resists the human’s temptation of greed and becomes one of the Na’vi, helping them and the conservation of their environment at all costs. This is one of the reasons I admire Jake as a character as when he is first introduced in the film he portrays a character that only cares about fighting and earning money, but as the story progresses the audience sees that spending time with the Na’vi has caused Jake to become a better person. This is because they have influenced his thoughts and opinions, teaching him respect and to care for every organism as though it was
It all began in the year of 2154 when a crippled ex-marine named Jake Sully “saved the world”. He takes part in a program invented by scientists which put him on an alien moon called Pandora. Jake is introduced to an Avatar body which is the combination of ½ human body and ½ alien body basically controlled by the scientists who created it. After watching Avatar, for the first time, I realized that this film had different worldviews mixed together. Somewhat confusing to me. I believe there is some Christianity along with Pantheism. Though it was more difficult for me to see the Christianity throughout this movie, Pantheism stood out. What raises questions to me is the Na’vi’s creator, their relationship to each other and a spiritual relationship much higher than them.
Avatar is set in a world called Pandora. The native dominant species called the Na’vi are beings that appear to be primitive to the invading humans that are there to retrieve a mineral called unobtainium. This mineral was found to be an invaluable energy resource to the humans and the humans are willing to do anything to obtain this element. The environment on this planet is toxic to humans and are unable to exist outside of protective environments on this planet. One way that they have found to explore is to inhabit an artificial body of the dominant native species. By doing this, this gives them the opportunity to interact with the natives and to learn their culture. Jake Sully is a paraplegic that is approached by the company that is mining
