For the film review of Avatar, we need to briefly introduce the director, protagonist, plot, animation, music and so on.

James Cameron's Avatar takes place on a planet called Pandora, where American companies and their military mercenaries set up bases to mine an extremely precious mineral called unobtanium. The context excavated by this film is simply unbelievable. This is a new way of perception-wearing 3d glasses on your face will give you a pleasant feeling, but it will soon give way to surprise. The global high will not last long. The closer the story is to the clumsy fable of colonialists invading the Vietnamese jungle outside the Milky Way, the more the charm disappears. However, most of the time, you will be stunned by the beauty of a seemingly complete spectacle. Actually, the special effects have been cancelled because the whole thing is so special.

The movie Avatar directed by James Cameron tells a story about Pandora, where American companies and their mercenaries set up bases to mine a precious mineral element called unobtanium. The film is full of amazing and incredible special effects. This is a brand-new sensory experience-wearing 3D glasses, the realistic scene makes you feel relaxed at first, but it is quickly replaced by surprises. The magnificent cosmic scene didn't fascinate the audience for a long time. With the deepening of the story, you feel more and more that this is a Vietnam war outside the galaxy, and the heavy implication makes the initial excitement fade away. However, most of the time, you will be immersed in a spectacular scene, which is an impeccable reality. It can be said that this movie has no special effects, because the whole movie is a big special effect.

Cameron didn't invent the word "Avatar", although everything else in this movie seems to have been invented by him. With the help of thousands of colleagues around our planet. In Indian mythology, the incarnation is a god who came to earth in human form. In computer terms, it is an icon, representing a person in virtual reality or cyberspace. In the movie, this is an artificial body controlled remotely-not by some hand-held remote controllers, but by brain waves generated by humans, who are the drivers of the body.

Although everything in the film seems to come from Cameron's imagination (and of course the joint efforts of thousands of filmmakers on our planet), the word "Avatar" was not created by him. In Indian mythology, Avatar is a god who came to the world in human form. Avatar is also a computer term, which refers to the interactive presentation of a person in virtual reality. In this movie, "Avatar" refers to a synthesis that can be controlled remotely-not by some manual controllers, but by human brain waves. This person's thoughts and ideas drive the body's activities.

If this sounds like technical nonsense in the description, it is dazzling in the implementation. The main future pilot, or rather, the animator of the future spirit, is a former marine, Jack Sally (sam worthington), who was injured in the battle and had to sit in a wheelchair. He is part of a science project hosted by a tough guy named Grace Augustine. She was played by sigourney weaver. The plan has begun to explore Pandora, whose atmosphere is toxic to people on earth, and uses avatars with recombinant DNA-some human and some alien-to build according to the main species of the planet; They are very tall, very blue, as slim as giacometti and as agile as superman. The film provides several lyrical passages, but the best one belongs to Jack. It was the first time he lived in his avatar and found that his new legs could carry his soft new body through some of the most spectacular scenery on earth.

This sounds like a boring technology, but it is dazzling on the screen. The driver of that body-or the soul of that body-is a retired marine Jack? Sally (Jack Sally, Sam? Worthington sam worthington). He was injured in the previous battle and had to sit in a wheelchair. Jack took part in a scientific research project, which was led by a man named Grace? Grace Augustine (Signie? Weaver sigourney weaver) is a strong woman. The project began to explore Pandora, but the air of this planet is toxic to human beings, so we can only use Avatar synthesized by human DNA and alien DNA. The body of Avatar clones Pandora's mainstream race, a tall blue humanoid creature with elegant lines and superhuman agility in the works of Swiss surrealist sculptor Giacomette. There are several touching scenes in the movie, the most beautiful of which is Jack. When he first controlled Avatar, he found that his new legs could carry this brisk new body through the most magnificent rivers and mountains of Pandora.

The description of the scene will not destroy the experience of the 3d process (which saves the usual eye-catching skills), nor will it destroy the seamless integration of live action, motion capture, animation, computer-generated images and any other mixed technologies-perhaps witchcraft or black magic. (I haven't seen the IMAX version; That's for my next time. ) Some flora are reminiscent of the Great Barrier Reef without water (air jellyfish, a coral-colored conical plant, spirals down to almost zero when touched), or Pandora's floating mountains represent a tribute to Japanese animator Miyazaki Hayao. As for the fauna, they are not only diverse-gorgeous dragons, six-legged steeds, huge war horses with heads like battering rams, and nature with blue teeth and claws-but also have their own convincing lives, unlike the delightful exotic creations of Moss Aisley Bar in Star Wars.

No matter how to describe it in words, it is not as brilliant and magnificent as the 3D image. 3D images don't need the usual visual skills to attract the audience's attention. All kinds of special effects-realism, motion capture, animation effects, virtual character making and the seamless integration of various technical elements are simply witchcraft or black magic. I haven't seen the IMAX version yet. This is my next movie plan. ) Some plant landscapes in the film are like the Great Barrier Reef without water (jellyfish flying in the air will rotate when touched by their hands, almost turning into nihilistic coral cones), and Pandora's floating mountains seem to pay tribute to Japanese animator Miyazaki Hayao. Pandora's animal population is extremely rich, including dazzling dragons, six-legged horses, heavy animals with blue teeth and claws and big hammers. And these animals have their own living habits as if they really exist, unlike Moss in the movie Star Wars? Moss Aisley Bar, full of grotesque funny alien creatures.

Then there are the aborigines. The French name for aborigines is appropriate, because Pandora reminds people of zhina, which existed before France launched a doomed war against aborigines, and Vietnam, which was the battlefield of American troops. They are called Na 'vi people, and it may be a slander to describe them as human beings, because unlike most Americans in movies, they fear their own planet and live in harmony with their surroundings. The most beautiful of the Na 'vi-at least the most star-like-is a female warrior named Neytiri. As most people on our planet already know from propaganda, Jack fell in love with her in a huge and complicated way.

And the natives of Pandora. The word indigene comes from French, so it is appropriate to use it here, because Pandora is like zhina Peninsula before the national independence movement was suppressed by the French armed forces, or Vietnam, which became the battlefield of American soldiers. The aborigines here are called Na 'vi, and it may be demeaning to say that they are humanoid creatures, because they don't protect their planet and live in harmony with nature like most Americans in the film. The most beautiful of the Na 'vi people, or at least the most potential star, is a female warrior named Neytiri. Everyone on earth knows through all kinds of publicity that Jack fell in love with her at first sight, which is complicated and inexplicable.

It's mainly because zoe saldana's Neytiri is so charming-sky blue skin, lemon eyes, wasp waist, long tail, anvil nose, swaying ears (believe me, it's all tempting), and she growls wildly at the height of the battle. But it's complicated because Jack works in secret on both sides of the jungle. He fell in love with Neytiri and quickly accepted the values of her people. (Yes, there is indirect evidence that Cameron knows Dances With Wolves, as well as Tarzan, Green Mansions, Frankenstein, Princess Mononoke and South Pacific. ) At the same time, Jack is spying for the discerning military commander Colonel Miles Quaritch. Stephen lang proved that a broad and cartoonish performance can also be a good performance. The evil colonel promised the former marine a program that would restore the function of his paralyzed legs. In exchange, he would provide information to help them drive the Na 'vi people away from their sacred land, which happened to be the only place where they could get unobtainium.

Is this about Zoe? Salda plays Neytiri with a variety of amorous feelings-sky-blue skin, lemon-like eyes, wasp-like waist, long tail, diamond-like nose, twisted ears (believe me, these are charming), and fierce roar during the fight. It is complicated because Jack is an underground worker who walks in Infernal Affairs. He fell in love with Neytiri and quickly accepted the values of her people. Yes, there is indirect evidence that director Cameron has seen films such as Dancing with Wolves, Tarzan of the Apes, Green House, Frankenstein, Ghost Princess, South Pacific, Spartacus and Top Gun. At the same time, jack is working for a discerning commander, mills? Colonel Miles Quaritch is spying on information. (Stephen playing the role? Stephen lang proved that cartoon performances in a broad sense can also show superb acting skills. The evil colonel promised Jack that he could cure his paralyzed legs as long as he found information that could drive the Nami out of his holy land. The holy land of the Na 'vi people happens to be the only place where the rare mineral element unobtainium is produced.

This is not a reflection on Mr. Worthington or Ms. Salda. Both of them have left a deep impression-but how do you evaluate the performance of this high-tech hybrid? -Their cross-species love story is not as hot as Leonardo DiCaprio and kate winslet hugging each other on the deck of the Titanic storm. Teenage girls won't come back to watch this movie six times or more unless they have a rogue gene that can wiggle their ears. But Avatar changed the relationship between the audience and the screen characters. The actor has always been body double; In the virtual reality of movies, they always represent our hopes and fears. However, during most of this movie, they have been transformed into a new kind of vague entertainment idols by technology-not quasi-human residents in The Wizard of Oz, nor overgrown puppets in The Polar Express, but fantasy figures who live in a world that we can't touch.

I don't want to comment on the acting skills of worthington and Salda. Both of them are impressive, but how to judge the acting skills that combine various high technologies? The alien love story between two people lacks Leonardo da Vinci? DiCaprio and Kate? Winslet's passion of snuggling in the wind on the front deck of Titanic, teenage girls won't relive this movie over and over again, unless it's Nami with twisted ears. However, Avatar changed the interaction between the audience and the screen characters. Actors have always been some form of incarnation, feeling hope and fear for us in the illusory world of movies. However, in this film, the actors are transformed into a group of brand-new and vague entertainment symbols by high technology. They are neither anthropomorphic characters in The Wizard of Oz, nor enlarged glove dolls in Polar Express, but fantasy characters that exist in the virtual world but are almost real.

When the Na 'vi people were first attacked by the American army, the fantasy quotient of Avatar was hit hard for the first time. Cameron spent a large part of his films telling dark, moralistic and horrible Vietnam War memories, using napalm, agent orange and helicopter gunships (one of which was named Valkyrie in Helmet Tip in Apocalypse Now). No matter how people look at the politics of this anti-war part, two things can be said for sure: it aroused a surge of adrenaline (which is another matter for our species), and when it was over, it felt.

The first visual impact of the psychedelic nature of Avatar on the audience began with the first shot of an American soldier in Nami. Director Cameron used a lot of space in the film to show the dark, horrible and meaningful war scenes, which reminded people of the Vietnam War. There are napalm and agent orange chemicals in the film, as well as indiscriminate shooting by helicopter gunships (there is a helicopter named Valkyri, inspired by the classic scene of the protagonist in "Apocalypse Now" shooting and bombing ammunition at Vietnamese positions continuously under Wagner's "Valkyries" song). No matter what the audience thinks of this part with strong anti-war thoughts, two things are certain: first, the scene is exciting (as for what this reflects on our race, I won't discuss it here), and second, it gives people a feeling of relief after the scene.

Other narrative problems intrude. Although Avatar is politically correct for the kindness of the Na 'vi people, it falls into a terrible barbaric ceremony, accompanied by the drums in the jungle, which seems to be nothing wrong in the first film King Kong. Although Weaver's performance is wonderful, it is not clear what her role is doing as an incarnation, nor what the Na 'vi people think of her. However, it is clear that Cameron's unique perspective has raised the stakes for film entertainment and given us a unique travel book. I don't want to live on Pandora, mainly because of the bad air there, but I'm glad I went there.

There are also some problems in the narrative of the film. Although Avatar positively shaped the justice and nobility of the Na 'vi people, it made them indulge in wild sacrificial ceremonies, and jungle drum music ran through it. It seems more appropriate to put this scene in the first movie "King Kong". Weaver plays an avatar in the movie. Although her acting is a bright spot, I don't know what this role is or what the Na 'vi people think of her. But there is no doubt that Cameron's unique perspective adds more entertainment value to the film and brings unparalleled travel-like feelings to the audience. I don't want to live on Pandora, mainly because the air there is not good, but I feel like I'm there through a movie, which is still very good.
