Reading

Read the text. Then do Exercise 1.

In 1998, director James Cameron won the Oscar for Best Picture for the film ‘Titanic’. Fifteen

years later, he is sure to be a contender again for a number of awards. His latest film, ‘Avatar’,

has been in theatres for a month now and the public response to this brilliant fantasy has been

overwhelming.

There are a number of reasons responsible for the popularity of this film. James Cameron has

developed a plot that is an allegory to the problems we have today, such as fighting wars and

damaging the environment for money. The film tries to give viewers the message that we have a

responsibility to respect nature and the relationship it has with us and other animals. He does this

by combining a story of romance and adventure. He has created a beautiful fantasy world using

the latest in 3D technology.

The movie takes place in the year 2154 on the planet of Pandora. Humans on Pandora are trying

to take material they need from the planet to save the environment on Earth. To do this, they

need to communicate with the Na’vi who live on Pandora. The Na’vi are 3 metres tall with blue

skin and have a special relationship with the environment they live in. Dr. Grace Augustine

(played by Sigourney Weaver) creates what is called an ‘Avatar’ to help the humans gain the

trust of the Na’vi. Avatars look exactly like the Na’vi and are controlled by a human mind. She

wants to form a peaceful relationship with them before the human soldiers come in and destroy

their land. Joining Grace’s team is Sully (played by Sam Worthington), a soldier who cannot

walk and is in a wheelchair.

As an Avatar, Sully can walk and run, as he is no longer handicapped. When he is on Pandora,

he comes into contact with Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana), a princess of the Na'vi tribe. At first

she is very suspicious of this soldier but then she decides to teach him about her culture and the

world she lives in. From the start, Sully reports back to the soldiers but, as time passes, he finds

himself torn between the two worlds.

The humans lose patience with Dr. Augustine and her methods and, eventually, decide to attack

the Na’vi people who are trying to protect their planet. Sully, then, has to make a decision. Is he

a soldier or is he now a Na’vi? He chooses the latter and together with Neytiri and the other

Na’vi he fights for the planet of Pandora, against the human soldiers.

Avatar is the most expensive film ever made, reaching a budget of close to 400,000,000 euro!

Most of the film budget has gone to the special effects in the movie and the result is absolutely

amazing. The alien world of Pandora, the creatures that live there and the Na’vi are all stunning

to look at. WETA Digital, which also worked on the highly successful ‘The Lord of the Rings’

trilogy, has brought the planet of Pandora and the Na’vi to life using 3D technology and the most

advanced special effects to date.

Of course, the film is not only about the special effects, since one cannot deny the fact that the

cast does a great job as well. Sam Worthington is very convincing and I am sure we will see him

in many more films in the future. As usual, Sigourney Weaver is superb. Stephen Lang, who

plays the Colonel, is a character you will love to hate as he leads the soldiers into Pandora. We

never see Zoe Saldana, but we do hear her. She is the amazing voice of Neytiri, the Na’vi

princess. Neytiri is a CGI character, meaning that she is not real but computer-animated.
