Avatar – My view

The first review I received about this movie was not that good in fact I was told it is not up to the mark, as it has a very thin wafer line story and all, I would like to tell one thing to that friend, that the story is deep rooted just like Pandora’s big tree. The base of the story is about Nature and its bondness with animal kingdom, and how they (Only humans) messing up with it. The story line reminiscence the movie “BATS -- Don’t mess with Mother Nature”. BATS was no were close to AVATAR, the former is about a biological mess up where as the later is about ecological disturbance, it’s a difference between Nano and Macro technology in naïve terms, but BATS are definitely the ancestors of AVATAR, lacking technology and vision.

Avatar – incarnation of humans as humanoids, to plunder a rare mineral found only in ravishing Pandora. A little bit about Pandora (a distant imaginary moon where lives exist) and the people of Na’vi(humans in Pandora). Pandora reminiscence our Lost world (Earth), where once we had good vegetation, thick woods and ravishing flora and fauna, which is endangered now, because of humans exploitation. Humans in Pandora on other hand resemble our ancestors, who inculcated a spiritual bondness with trees and animals, I call this as spiritual bondness because it cannot be measured or identified with any scientific terms that we are known off, as we lack scientists to rediscover this terms/techniques. I let you know why I mention rediscovering rather inventing.

My friend’s second concern about the movie was, that there is no strong scene/dialogue (with punch), but actually there is one by Jake Sully and that is “I probably talking to a tree, but if you can read my senses, read me, I’m from the planet where there is no GREENS”. How true it is? This empathizing the situation, this one scene tells why Jake favors people of Pandora, than his own race. As per the role, he is from a strong scientific background, which moved his soul from his body to another body which resembles to the people of Pandora, is new Avatar, hence the movie name Avatar. This was made possible thru some advance technology, which resembles a technique mentioned in Atharvana Veda, termed as “Kutuvitu Kudu payuradu”. This was imagined to be re-discovered in 2154 AD.

With our GPS technologies, satellites, cell phones and more sophisticated network we struggle to figure out what’s happening in the other part of the world, where the same is achieved by the people of Pandora through the biological nerves of ecological system (Woods). Human race scientists were in re-discovering, this phenomenon mentioned in “Viruksha Sastra”, which was practiced by our ancestors. The same was scientifically proved by Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, to an extent. Now you know why I call this rediscovering rather inventing.

Movie also reminiscence, our lost instincts, the instinct which a mother lost about her baby’s need, thanks to wireless technologies and remote cameras which has handicapped the motherness, it that not true that we are dependent on some calculating machine to find out answer for this simple thing (256*256)/(16^2) * (4^2)*8*2. Our technology and science has handicapped our senses, handicapped our biological mutation, and we call this as yield of sixth sense, how ignorant we are, where us the rest of the animal kingdom, mutates to become more independent than before, almost all birds can figure out Earthquakes and Tsunami’s well in advance, for which we need satellites and other sophisticated equipments, which is not even 60% accurate as per the Pacific Tsunami station in America, they wonder what kind of inbuilt satellite systems that these birds have, which is not seen in them some 1000 years back. One of the scientist sarcastically told, that rather investing on the satellites and all, we should be investing in understanding the birds language that way we can be more accurate.

Coming back to Avatar, the climax is a war between the inner consciousness of the human and his greediness, a war between an environmentalist and a capitalist. In vedic terms a war between Prathiaksha and Anumana Jnana (Earth) and Saptha Jnana (Pandora). The whole Pandora to me seems to be Hindu Mythological world, probably that’s the reason why I’m able to quote more vedic terms. I’m not sure if this is true, that James Cameron inspired by our Vedas and created this Pandora. If so then Vedas have something in which attracts more people which need to extracted and explored, on the other hand if this is co-incidence, I’m thrilled by Vedas, which depicted our future (may be in another couple of centuries) 1000s and 1000s of years ago.

In short note Avatar is what humans was and wants to be and Pandora is what Earth was and wants to be.
