The Art of Avatar the Way of Water

Product Information

Family is the central concept featured in Avatar: The Way of Water. [49] [50] [51] RogerEbert.com critic Brian Tallerico notes that some of the themes in the film echo themes from earlier films directed by Cameron, including Titanic, Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). For example, the film asks whether you should run and hide from a powerful enemy or fight their evil, similar to the Terminator films. The film also invokes themes of environmentalism and settler colonialism. [52] Comparing the themes of the sequels to the original, Cameron said "It will be a natural extension of all the themes, and the characters, and the spiritual undercurrents. Basically, if you loved the first movie, you're gonna love these movies, and if you hated it, you're probably gonna hate these. If you loved it at the time, and you said later you hated it, you're probably gonna love these". [53] Production Development Director James Cameron in 2010 a b Travis, Ben (July 1, 2022).

[138] [139] But he later disagreed with these rumors and did not think the technology would be there yet. [140] Reilly, Kaitlin (October 4, 2017).

Aware of the danger posed by Spider's knowledge of his whereabouts, Jake and his family exile themselves from the Omatikaya and retreat to Pandora's eastern sea, where the Metkayina clan gives them refuge. There, the family learns the ways of the reef people, Kiri develops a spiritual bond with the sea, and Lo'ak befriends Tsireya, the daughter of Chief Tonowari and his wife Ronal. a b Valdez, Rubi (September 14, 2014).

The detail of non-violence leaves the door wide open for Cameron to indulge in many shows of simplistic environmentalist hectoring, and one of the film’s big and most brazenly manipulative action set pieces involves a mechanised hunting party meting out pain and humiliation on a defenceless Tulkun and her brood. a b c d e f g h Hibberd, James (September 27, 2017).
