Research Paper On Avatar

The movie Avatar was directed by Canadian James Cameron, the renowned director of Titanic, and was released in 2009. In addition to holding the record for the highest worldwide earnings in the box office, the movie has won three Oscars. However, the Na’vi, the natives of the planet Pandora, are comparable to the Aboriginals. This is evident through the similarities in culture and religion, the attitude of those who came to their land, and the events that took place.

Avatar required 10 years to complete and was a visually stunning. A film with visionary technology, graphics, and film techniques. Director James Cameron developed and pioneered many of these techniques while creating this film, and propelled motion capture technology and film to a new level.

In the year 2009, James Cameron wrote and directed one of the most remarkable films I have ever seen ‘Avatar’. This science-fiction saga has a story line that is engaging and captivating for its audience. Avatar took place on a moon called Pandora. Humans discovered very valuable natural resources on Pandora and did whatever it took to obtain what they needed from Pandora. The people of Pandora are Na’vi’s, a 10 foot tall, blue-skinned humanoid alien group that lived in the rainforest or Pandora. The Humans found a way to interact with the Na’vi’s by artificial yet organic avatars that were controlled with a human mind and conscience. Jake Sully, a paraplegic marine who was given the task to manipulate the Na’vi’s into leaving their home. Sully entered

“I guess that’s the thing about a hero’s journey. You might not start out as a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change, which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes you, whether or not you know it, and whether or not you want it to,” (Kami Garcia). The movie Avatar, released in 2009 and directed by James Cameron, is an example of a main plot and a subplot carried by the hero’s journey and has many examples of other archetypes. Avatar is about Jake Sully, an ex-marine, who takes over his dead brother’s place on a scientific mission to a planet called Pandora. Their goal is to collect a natural resource, Unobtanium, and bring it back to Earth. A clan of Na’vi’, human-like creatures, called the Omaticaya, live in a tree right on top of the main source of the Unobtanium. Jake Sully’s task is to enter an “avatar” body disguised as a Na’vi’ and learn as much as he can about their kind and what the humans have to do to relocate their clan. Eventually, the Omaticaya assimilate Jake into their clan and teach him their ways, not knowing that he is one of the “sky people”, or humans. As the plot of Avatar moves on, Jake begins to change his opinions on the Navi, the idea of nature, and which side he should fight for with help of

Avatar is a blockbuster film from 2009 and one of my most favorite Sci-fi films of all time. The film was directed by James Cameron, who is known for directing films like Titanic (1997), Aliens (1986), and the Terminator (1984), all of which helped shape the film industry into what it is today. Although at the time, there was a recession and people were trying to save money, this movie became the highest grossing film in at the time. The movie provided stunning 3D technology unlike any other movie and this was one of the reasons that made people want to go watch the film. From visual effects to the camera angles, James Cameron directed this movie to make the audience feel like they are in the movie. Although the film looked amazing, there were messages and themes inside the film that made it such a success. The film provoked discussions about various messages and themes embedded inside the film, such as terrorism, Imperialism, religious connections, and connections to current world. Such messages can be clearly seen throughout the plot of the movie.

This is almost the exact indistinguishable form and Sci-Fi story to District 9. There is no excuse for District 9’s originality as Alien Nation was released in 1989. With regard to Avatar, it has no relatable science fiction

I didn’t realize that John Cazale was dying of bone cancer during the film and was in a relationship with Meryl Streep. Even though the movie studio wanted to fire and replace him to avoid risking the film being ruined, the cast fought to keep him on. Every minute of filming represents thousands, if not millions of dollars for studios. A lot of people don’t realize how many people are on set and being paid any time the camera rolls — anywhere from production assistants to wardrobe to makeup to script supervisors to background artists to security and on and on. When filming happens, even though it is an art, it is also a business.

When you think of invented languages you probably think of languages like Tolkien's Elvish and Dwarvish, David J. Peterson’s Dothraki or Dark Elvish, or Marc Okrand, James Doohan, and Jon Povill Klingon. These languages always make the TV shows, movies, or books much better. It always shows you that the creators want to make their projects enjoyable for their audience. Having a language with rules always makes their product better in the end.

When James Cameron finishes a movie, he always leaves something for people to talk about. He did it in 1997 with his movie Titanic, which was the first film to reach the billion dollar mark, with an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion dollars. This film was the highest-grossing film of all time, until the year 2009. This time Cameron’s movie Avatar surpassed Titanic by over a billion, making it the first film to gross more than $2 billion dollars and leaving audiences begging for more. Yes, breaking records and leading by example is what Cameron does, but his purpose for Avatar was much greater than that. Cameron uses the plot of Avatar to send a thematic message that we are destroying our sacred grounds, our nature, without caring that we are harming the environment and also ourselves in the process and we are not aware of the valuable wealth it possesses.

I believe Gigi Hadid is fashion leader for today’s youth. She is well known model who has collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger on a new fashion line, Tommy x Gigi. Gigi has many fans that follow the Tommy x Gigi line. She inspires fans with her style and her fans always want to know what she is wearing. In 2016, Elle.com described her fashion inspiration as “the Gigi Hadid Effect, or her power to put on pretty much anything and make the rest of the world covet it”.

One thing that I find interesting about Transfiguration is that over many years wizards and witches have been performing and teaching it for many generations. I'm mostly intrigued by conjuration because I believe it's amazing to create something out of thin air just using magic. I also think that transformation is another amazing subject in Transfiguration. In the future I plan on working in Hogwarts teaching either Herbology to teach children like Neville Longbottom persevere or teach Defense Against the Dark Arts to help future generations win a battle against someone like you-know-who, if someone like that were to come along. I find it interesting that you can change something's form, but not it's purpose. Transfiguration is altering the
