FREE FOR ALL
I watched the movie Avatar today and I could not help realizing so many comparisons to the Pocahontas story. Even the main character's initials are the same Jake Sulley and John Smith. Both stories are about a guy who is not apart of the girl he likes' tribe. The tribe is also very suspicious of the newcomer and they do not know if they can trust him. Eventually the man learns more about the girl's culture and realizes their benefits. The humankind and the blue people do not get along and the white man and the indians did not get along. The movie has really great affects and I think it is pretty artistic. I really liked their life tree and the new technology they used to make the movie. One of the major themes is the cliche do not judge a book by its cover. I think they could have done a more creative jobs with the names, I think the name Pandora was a little obvious. Avatars actually exist in today world, online avatars. It is crazy to think how far we have come with our new technology.
