Simply awesome! I thought at first it was just some cartoonish flick with a feel-good theme but it has impacted me tremendously, much to my surprise. Maybe its because its about living in a hostile place, making enemies, making friends, learning the local tongue, feeling that you have to prove yourself at all times and how you want to go home but want to stay at the same time - things i am going through right now. In general though, I think its about what the writer feels about globalization, the civilizations of old, and even religion. It brings to mind top caliber films like Gattaca, Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, and District 9 (not top-notch, though thought-provoking), Chrono Cross (if you're a gamer, you'd know what im talkin about).
The secluded Na'vi tribe, i thought, is with reference to the Moslems and their prophet Nabi Mohammad. With the Chinese, well, the thought of Avatars playing basketball brings to mind Yao Ming, the tallest NBA player right now, and the red plants that fold up upon contact suggests Asian temples and the pyramids. The warriors of different clans are like Shaolin monks, American indians and Muay Thais. The tattoos and markings, are of the Indians. The dread locks, of course, is associated with black people and the praying of them Home tree people like rockin n' rollin music in the church ministry. And Jake Sully, is you and me - discovering the new world out there.
The new world is called "Pandora" in the movie, an eye-opener, the tip of the iceberg - the new world that is the internet where all races and nations; the past, the present and the future come together.
Haha, i can't get enough of this shit. Just my 2 cents.
