I get irritated with the comparisons to other movies. Avatar is/was special. There is a clear message with Avatar that resonated with people. The fact people suffered depression after, to me feels like grief. At one time we were connected to the earth as the Na’vi are to Pandora in the movie. They are mourning the loss of the connection. I even felt it afterwards. Now that Avatar 2 is out, I teared up when I saw the world on the screen. I whispered, “Hello, Pandora. I’ve missed you.” This is an awesome analysis of the story here.

This video needs millions of views. I'm tired of idiots bashing Avatar for being a trash movie because they're too brain dead and simple-minded to process the true meaning to this movie. All they see is "Heepr deherp, EnDgAmE BeTtEr mOvIe HURP DHURFP"

One of the moments in this video that made me feel most emotional was the one when you said that while we are living our normal, boring, monotonous lives, people up there are living true freedom. It really made me think a lot about how much better life can be on other planets. We struggle to fit in, we're always worried about waking up at 6 AM to go to work or to school, spending half a day with people we don't like, following rules we don't agree with and living in an environment that is slowly taking our freedom away from us. While we do all that, maybe, just maybe, somewhere up there in Space, on a Planet very far away, intelligent life forms just like us enjoy life at a completely different level. Not worried about made up concepts like money, taxes, religion and politics, living life as it was given to them by nature, not having to pay for existing. And again, just maybe, some intelligent life form in Space, on a different planet, has its mind connected to a giant flying animal, riding it freely in the blue sky, wind flowing through their hair-like structures, never worrying about falling down, never worrying about having to fit in with others, never worrying about made up concepts ... Just living ...

Before this video, I hadn't quite thought about how Jake's memories of Earth and everything could have been communicated to Neytiri, and to Eywa as well, through the connection. I figure in Jake's case, he would have held back a lot, since he was hiding his secret mission and everything, but with Grace, she would have given everything when she transcended, so yeah... Eywa knew the plan.

I love Avatar since I first watched it in 2009 after my scoliosis surgery, for me everything in the movie was memorable, from well-executed story to beautiful visuals and beautiful music. I like Jake Sully as the protagonist because he is kinda like me and I love the Na'vi and Neytiri. I'm a xenophile so pleasant aliens like the Na'vi are my favorites. Since the extended version of Avatar was released (and before the extended version) I've rewatched the movie every year at least once. This movie really does show current damage of humanity and perhaps that is why many don't like the movie, people don't seem to like truth and change. As far as I am concerned, I prefer existence where values of the Na'vi are mixed with advanced space-faring technology in a harmonious mix. This movie sure made an impact on me, "no cultural impact" me arse!

Your heart is exposed to the true potential of human experience and then when the movie is over you have to go back to the “real” world, where everyone is selfish and deceitful, work is rigid and repetitive, and it feels like everything is holding you back from a meaningful existence.

Eh, it's a mixed bag. There's a reason why people evolve and choose to change their behavior. I mean, even today some ingenious native tribes in Papua for example have really weird rituals, that I'm not going to discuss here, but you can read about it, which shows you that depravity and insanity is not reserved for civilized world only. Hunter gatherer societies all had strange rituals and practices, they had sacrifices, human sacrifices too; they died of diseases, so they fucked a lot and had many children so at least three of them would survive. They fought for resources, hell, even the native Americans regularly fought each other for resources and whatever reason and they lived exactly like the Na'vi. It's not the pretty picture as some people would make you believe it was. Granted, in "Avatar" the natives are very dignified and noble and we don't get to see their negative side, so it's easy to like them, but yeah, if you are able to stab an animal with a pointy stick and if you are ready to slash the throat of your enemy, like Tsu'tey was about to do, you must think why does he even know how to do that. The Na'vi surely fought each other at times.

Honestly whether or not hunter-gatherism or industrialism are better has to do with what you personally value. If you value the preservation of wildlife, egalitarian societies, and a maximum amount of leisure time, obviously hunter-gatherism is better. If you value getting to Mars, industrialism will seem better. Although it needs to be said that the destruction left behind by industrialism will ultimately benefit a privileged minority at the expense of all other lifeforms.

When I first saw Avatar in the theater, I was in complete and utter awe. I became a changed person. It had such a deep impact on me, and I felt so utterly depressed afterwards... It was like the only happiness I could experience was when I was immersed in the deep, endless jungles of Pandora, so I kept going to see it. Over and over and over again, just to experience a few hours of perfection and beauty and, in the end, the justice of finally protecting it. The movie meant everything to me, it was as if I was seeing my own personal beliefs painted on the screen before my eyes, and for all the world to see as well. I have heard every critique and complaint you can think of about this movie since then, and I have learned to stop bringing up the film at all around others because I'll undoubtedly get someone making some snarky "blue monkey" comment. But to be honest, it only reinforces in my mind what I've always felt about people. We humans are stupid and blind. I honestly don't think there is any hope for us. I wish there was with every fiber of my being, but I am so tired of being disappointed.

I just get emotional when someone looks down upon us. They are poor by heart!

Avatar may not have the best script or the most original story, but it is one of my favourites due to the message, the beautiful world and Na'vi culture. Watching this film is what initially woke me up and made me want to do all in my power to take care of my home planet.

Being originally born in Africa and fro the Bantu tribe, I relocated to the US for studies and later stayed but one thing struck me when I got here; The abject selfishness and greed amongst Americans, the absolute disregard for the earth and disconnection between people. Where i'm from the word "homeless" doesnt exist because everyone has a family and family takes care of family no matter the cost. I have seen families tell a member "We love you" as he was put in handcuffs and taken to jail after sentencing for minor traffic infractions and because he didnt have $1000 to pay the accumulated fines. Even with over 10 family members there, none of them thought they could come up with the money and free the kid right there and then. I left the court house that day and was unable to sleep. In my mind, I kept seeing them hug him one after the other and it occured to me how different my people are from Americans and their lifestyle. We are a lost people here and our greed is and will kill us all.

I was recently discussing with my husband how my southern grandmother felt it her responsibility to educate me about our history dealing with not only prejudice but systemic racism, after all 1960 was not that long ago and 1865 was less than 100 years prior to that. During slavery, enslaved people we’re encouraged to betray one another on behalf of their owners. Fathers were beaten for trying to protect their children, husbands killed for trying to protect their wives. Families actively destroyed by selling members away from one another. For HUNDREDS OF YEARS. And it is expected that all the damage done should be corrected by those who have been wronged and their descendants in a hostile environment in a short amount of time, while smiling. OK.

@American Born One of the criticisms is that the story of the movie is simplistic and easy to follow, so I wonder why you were confused?

I also simpely LOVED Avatar and I cannot understand all the hate. This story has been told before yes, but a story that is being told ten times with good quality isn't a bad story, and maybe James Cameron wanted to say that this is what's going to happen if we find intelligent life out in space, maybe it's the fact that it is a well and true story that people will like considering they have liked it before. Think of movie remakes, why do we remake movies? It is so that we can show stories again, maybe with updated effects, maybe with better writing or maybe because the acting standard has been upped from what it was previously. Look at Ben-Hur, movie from 1925 was a silent film, the -59 film was a bigger production because the movie industry grew and we could have sound, now we are remaking it again. Why? Maybe because there aren't many great epics anymore at the caliber of Lawrence of Arabia, with possibly the last one being LOTR trilogy. Avatar told an old story with new technology so we could enjoy the same story we always did enjoy only with more spectacle, nothing wrong with that, if telling a story over again is so looked down upon, how on earth do we continue to adapt book after book after book instead of just writing new stories for our movies?

The Drinker gave Cameron credit for what he was trying to do and could have done, but he criticizes the movie we got for exploiting a lot of recycled storylines and worn out tropes without daring to do what it could have done. The reference to so many deleted scenes in this review more or less proves Drinker's point that the movie could have been far more than what it was as-presented back in '09.

This movie felt like Re-MEMBERING a forgotten past for me. I am happy to know that others felt this so deeply as well. My heart KNOWS that soon humans will be restored to the TRUE WORLD. 🙏🏽

When I saw Avatar in the theatres, which was my first 3D movie, I saw heaven. I thought I was in that movie with Jake, exploring Pandora in all its beauty and awe. Really hats off to tons of creativity and efforts put into this movie. This movie set such a high benchmark for visual effects that it would still feel fresh after another decade. I can see this movie a 100 times and still not get bored. This video reveals something more the movie wanted to say to its audience. Great work!

Avatar is masterpiece , thank you for defend this movie

now let me just say that, i've been having the feeling that somebody else had got what i got from this movie...finally after a little bit of searching .......i found it... a video so PERFECTLY explained and sought through... tbh with you i didn't expect anybody to even get down this deep my guy.....this was truly amazing and well understood...nothing u had said throughout this whole video confused me......not by one bit AND i TOTALLY am tankful for how u broke down your reasoning for certain words u said...over all...well done..well done.

Seeing these scenes over, and feeling the emotions over again that they stirred in me like when I first watched this movie, I feel a yearn for death in the way you spoke of. But, it stems not from seeing a world that I could never inhabit, but rather comes from a stabbing, debilitating pain that I am a human like in the movie, which is running clearly to a path of immense self-destruction at the hands of greed and complacency. I feel like part of one of the teeth that turn one of the gears that accelerate a machine that will continue to destroy our planet with consumption and inhumane motives. I don't want to live to see more destruction by the hands of my species. I would rather die than take and take and lead the world to being minutely lost to an unrecoverable cycle of wasted energy on garbage that will pile up and pile up into mountains that permanently scar our land long before it will ever return to an organic state. things feel as bleak as ever in the big picture of civilization. To selfishly turn a blind eye to it in hopes of finding some fleeting enjoyment in our own physical existence amidst a clear downward trend of Good in the world, I feel just as responsible as the powerful elite who direct the assimilation Sorry for rambling

What a powerful comment this is. You are not alone in feeling this way. It is certainly a helpless, hopeless, and depressing feeling you get when you leave the movie theater after experiencing Avatar. I have a theory that many viewers who watched this movie did NOT like that feeling, and instead of looking inward, they became defensive. That's why there is so much strange hatred for this film.

I REALLY needed this; I'm crying, I'm happy, I'm depressed, and I'm ready to kick ass spiritually.

"Halted our evolution as a species" THAT ONE HIT DIFFERENTLY!

I remember watching Avatar when I was young, but I didn't enjoy it back then cuz I didn't understand the themes. As I grew older, I started falling in love with the philosophies of the movie (also pissed that those deleted scenes weren't even included) but I didn't actually feel depressed but enjoyed the thought that humanity, or life on Earth in general will evolve probably the same with that of Pandora or close to that.

My biggest issue with the movie is that the symbolism was incredibly blatant, and didn't offer anything besides showing you what the "other side" would be like. I suppose if the current state of the world depresses the hell out of you, seeing that other side realized might get to you, but ideas and symbolism don't make a movie good.

The video was good until he mentioned the psychedelic drug and that it let us travel to another universe and see other reality, there is no such thing and the drug it's just making the brain neurons go with firing electrical impulses. It's bad for mental and physical health. And in Avatar there are no such things as souls, this movie has a scientific base and everything we see on it could evolve or has already evolved, though maybe not exactly similar, in another place of the universe.

You gave me a new appreciation for this seemingly hokey and arguably slightly problematic (depending on the lens you use to view it) film. What looked like a Mighty Whitey story was actually a very deliberate "Fuck you" to our society. Who better to choose as someone to enlighten than someone from the very group that helped spread it so much (yes, I'm aware we're not the only ones, but don't act like we're innocent)?

That is awesome my friend, I am glad that you took the time to watch this and for seeing what I am trying to do :)

This video is extremely well made. I myself watched avatar when it came out, I was 7 years old. For some reason ive always just "liked" avatar and I always watched in when i was younger but ofc i didnt understand these messages then. Now i am turning 18 in 1 week and i watched the movie again like 3 to 4 times over a period of a week, i was just mindblown. I instantly saw the movie for what it really is and it was beautiful. Over the period of 3 years ive undergone what you would call an "awakening". I have watched countless of videos and done research and been reading books about everything of what we as a species have become and what we actually are. I am certain the whole "universe" is a conscious being or some kind of awareness. Humanity has been lost for a very long time and this plane of existence has been either corrupted by lower vibrational entities feeding on our energy or something because we have been manipulated on profound and deep level. We have been so disconnected from reality and nature that most people today would have to take a lifetime for them to wake up and come to realise of what we are. What i think is most interesting though is in the last couples of years. Spirituality and everything associated with it has been increasing it seems. Something is definitely happening, there seems to be more and more people waking up. In just my friend circle alone me and my friends can talk about things that would have been called delusions or insanity by ordinary people not knowing anything about this stuff. Its really interesting to see someone making a video about this because it was literally on point about everything i felt about this movie.

This is pure poetry. Your video analysis is insightful and sublimely perceptive at a whole new level. I literally downloaded your video and will treat it as a podcast during my commute. Pandora gave me serious post Avatar depression, and I didn’t know why until you put these analysis into words. I was existentially depressed 13 year ago because stepping out of those theatres the contrast of all my humanist goals like getting into a prestigious school, winning my next promotion, or being liked by a group of people PALES in comparison to the meaning and depth of the Na’Vis lives. I felt silly and almost dumb - for caring about things and processes that have such shallow meaning. I realized how much my own Ego directed my decisions, rather than doing things or working on solving problems that actually bring value to the natural world. I am a full adult by Avatar 2, but the sequel release came at a perfect time in my life as I’m distancing myself farther from my own Ego, and intentionally choosing life paths that lead me closer to preservation and bringing immense communal value rather than individual enrichment. 🎉 My favorite quote “The Na’vi are an alternate version of humanity.” Adding to your words: The Na’vi are the version of humanity we could be, but corrupted ourselves when hyper efficiency and gluttonous capitalism took over naturalism and collectivism. Out there love is real. Out there freedom is real. Out there life is real.

While I disagree with some aspects of your argument, this video is utterly amazing. I've watched avatar multiple times throughout my life and I still found new things to appreciate about it here, concepts that I've been thinking about and wrestled with a lot throughout my life were brought to attention in this movie and this analysis and it was honestly just awe inspiring.

You really made me reflect on how we've lived and conquered as a species, and it really is disgusting and horrid to think about how we treat what was gifted to us by nature. Also what really intrigued me was your explanation on the universe existing as a vast inter-connected network; that concept almost gave me an entirely new way of viewing life and death because it was just that convincing. Very-well explained and makes me curious about what truly happens in the afterlife. Are we reborn? Or do our souls return to the "source" and become one with the universe? I guess we'll never know until we experience it for ourselves. Again, truly beautiful analysis on just how complex this masterpiece of a movie is👍.

For all the years I’ve been on KZread I have never left a comment until now. This video is incredible. I saw Avatar when I was very young, but I recently stumbled upon the DVD in an old collection. I decided to put it in the player and I have found a much deeper appreciation for this movie. The symbolism and deeper plot have taken on a new meaning for me. I was looking to see if someone else thought similarly to me and I left with so much more from this video. Such a fantastic analysis not only of Avatar, but of the themes presented. I especially connected with your thoughts about the deep love bond that can exist between two Na’vi. I believe that sex warps our perception of love. It’s very beautiful to believe that the Na’vi could achieve complete understanding of another. I live in a generation rampant with hook-up culture. I used to agree and participate in that hedonistic lifestyle, but realized that the pleasures are temporary. A loving relationship with another brings true happiness, which is a reward unto itself. I also find it poetic that Jake opens his eyes in the first and last scenes of movie. Symbolic of his paradigm shift.

JT, sorry I took so long to get back to you. But, all I can say is I am grateful that this video was in the right place and at the right time for you! I am glad to know that you --, a member of the new generation -- are aware of the nature of reality. Our society's corruption and the state of the planet. I can assure you that a paradigm shift is ensuing. And, that we will live to see the day that this system changes. A paradigm shift into neohumanism ;)

In case it went over anyone's head, like mine when I saw this in the theater, the destruction of hometree is very much a representation of 9/11 being carried out by the american empire. Cameron, as a canadian, has a different perspective than an american filmmaker would have, and I believe the point being made is that we do 9/11 level atrocities to the rest of the world every single day.

This was so beautiful to watch, but I want to offer some different perspectives. - I feel the author is painting this picture like we did not evolve in connection with the Earth, and so now we cannot, it is too late, and all hope is lost, and how unfortunate we cannot connect like the Na'vi can. Whilst humans do not have fancy hair that can connect 'directly' with creatures and plants, we are still connected. Ask anyone who owns a cat or dog knows, it's almost like we can read each other's minds sometimes, and just a gaze with the eyes we know what is being said even if we do not speak the same language. And in my culture, instead of hair we will go outside and place our bare feet on the soil, that is our connection with the Earth, and dig our toes in a bit, and feel the pulse of the Earth. If you are still enough, you will feel it. There is no 'humans could have connected but instead we chose disconnection and now we are lost', there is only pretending we are lost. We are never lost, you cannot possibly be lost. You are made up of Earth materials, so how could you be disconnected from Earth if you are literally 100% made of Earth? If our Earth becomes like Earth in Avatar, all nature destroyed and mass air pollution and famine and disease rampant, all that means is we strayed immensely far from our connection, that's all. I'm not trying to make light of it, it's not a light matter, lives are lost due to our disconnect, but I am saying anything we create we can un-create, and the bigger the creation, the bigger the un-creation, so it's a matter of time, but we can, we always can, there is always a 2nd chance. Not easy, but simple. Again, never lost, never disconnected, only degrees of seperation. - I majorly disagree with the point that the masses are ignorant, materialistic, shallow sex-havers instead of genuine lovers, etc. I think that's an outdated viewpoint as of the 2000's. I see tons of evidence people care all around the world. For every greedy CEO you can point to, I believe there's a Bill Gates, someone who's dedicating his wealth to tackling major humanitarian challenges. And do no underestimate the will and actions of the everyday people. Re-usable grocery bags, getting rid of straws, electric cars, growing our own food in the backyard, van life, solar energy, veganism, minimalism, reclaiming of spirituality instead of religion, popularity in research and understanding of Ayahuasca, even just the fact that Avatar made such a huge box office killing, if you ask me people are waking up all over the world at an alarming rate. And to those who say 'it's not enough' or 'that small effort doesn't count', a tree always starts as a sprout, have gratitude for the growing sprout, protect it, nurture it, these things take time, you cannot go from seed to tree. Yes our past is bloody and quite materially driven, but every day is a new day, and with it a new choice, and I think people are sick of the same old same old death war and meaningless consumerism. I really like the point about Eywa hearing Jake's call and sending the fauna to attack the machines, because guess what, I can assure you if humans really were that evil on this Earth, Mother Earth would mount an autoimmune defense against us too. This is why I'm personally not worried about the 'collective level of evil' amongst humans and instead I'm just focused on living my own best life, because if we ever truly tipped too much in the wrong direction, Mother Earth will gently correct us, or, if need be, boot us completely. Here's what I was taught. Mother Earth has given birth to many children, humans of all different bodies and talents, and also other fauna and flora. We are made of her, so we cannot possibly be disconnected from her. She loves us unconditionally as a mother loves her child unconditionally. She cries when we are in pain, she looks on in disappointment when we dig up parts of her body to convert into useless items, and she gets angry when her children kill each other pointlessly. But she is always there, supporting us, cheering us on, wanting the best for us. If you ever want to feel the Original Mother, go outside and put your bare feet on the soil. Then climb a tree and feel the bark. Put your feet in the sand. In the water. And wiggle your toes each time. Ditch shoes whenever you can because they encourage disconnect. You are never an orphan, she is always there. If you are lonely, seek her out. Ask her to give you a sign, and be open to what happens. Earth, like Pandora, is magical, but we just have to be open enough to receiving its magic, and we don't need to be a tribal person or have fancy hair to receive.

When hippies get angry love, peace and true freedom radiate outwards to make positive progress..

I watched Avatar yesterday for the first time without knowing much about it and I was trembling throughout the movie. It brought me back to my Ayahuasca experience, where I was invited to see myself as a cell of a massive organism, as well as so many other aspects that were emphasized in this video (the white light/tunnel, different layers of reality, connection to an absolute intelligence/nature etc). I remember being so happy the next morning after receiving the gift of knowing that this "magical world" does exist. Pandora does exist.

Also, the "it has no memes" is just plain stupid and shallow. they measure a movie's success by amount of memes it has? LMAO Memes is an indication that a movie is not serious and just for entertainment only. *AVATAR is known for its serious themes like wars, environmentalism, spirituality, colonialism etc which clearly can't make any memes out of it unlike Superhero movies which are for KIDS can literally make thousands of memes* These TOXIC MCU KIDS are just too shallow for a Movie like Avatar.

The problem is that each person has a reference frame that's based on their experiences and understanding of reality... they filter any foreign idea through this reference frame and this is why they cannot see the significance of what you're trying to tell them.

@@TheAngryHippie So true, I use three people's work as a taster to see if people are open to further exploration of these topics. You can remove this reply if you want.

It's such a shame, that the real meaning of the movie, the message, is supressed with negative criticism. Most of those, who review this movie are probably "blinded" in way that they only see the CG magic and the incredible man hours that went into this. They don't get the symbolism, don't appreciate the subtle details. And the devil is in the details as they say... They just see this as "another empty love story", but in reality, it redefined everything, personally as well. And finally someone, who reflected on the score as well. And the score is, how shall I put it... FUCKING AWESOME. It's a story by itself. Horner really should have won an Oscar for this. He deserves it. When I came out of theater I felt i was punched in the face. I was speechless. I have never cried in front of a movie screen before. And as someone, who is into CG... This movie destroys EVERYTHING. I mean the thing is animated to the smallest detail... The small tracers in the battle scene, and the fluid simulation in the scene when Jake jumps off a cliff into a waterfall, godddam that fluid simulation is perfect. And let's not forget this was in 09'... I just can't imagine the man hours that went into this. Man, you did an excellent job in ripping the movie apart, you did a truly deep, comprehensive review. Thank you.

Depression is real, frustration is overwhelming when you realize we can't reverse all the damage done to the planet and to ourselves.

We cannot reverse it, but we can change the course of the future and perhaps in doing so, heal the trauma of the human race

so i was feeling semi depressed for years since watching this movie for the first time 10 years ago, of course we all wish that we could be a part of the world, namely an avatar in the tribe able to connect to nature mentally and physically but also how amazing it must be to also go through that journey, and I must say this is the most well made and truly informative analysis I have ever witnessed. I was checking the time remaining of this 49 minute video and felt the same sort of sadness when it was getting close to finished just like I was sad when Avatar ended. Thank you so... sooo much for your efforts as this video is truly inspiring and was exactly what I was looking for as a follow up to not only explain the film over again but experience it over again as you went through each part with the scenes I remember vividly. Truly a work of art both this film and this hour of excellent explanations on the exact emotions I was feeling to myself but unsure if anyone else had this deep of emotions towards it because I never hear many people in my own life rewatching and explaining this film together down to perfection like this.
