Humanistic perspectives on the movie 󰡔Avatar󰡕 Heechae Park (Sungkyunkwan University) The movie rewrote the history of cinema by recording No.1 at the box office and received various discourse and criticism by experts in different fields. The main plot of the movie is to solve the problem of energy depletion on earth where the Resource Development Association(RDA) plans to collect mineral resource which are only obtainable from the faraway planet Pandora which intern causes conflict with the local natives ‘Na’vi’. The RDA agents finds difficulties in work places due to the poisonous atmosphere so they create a Na’vi avatar to communicate with the Na’vi. This leads to communication between the human ‘Jake Sully’ and Na’vi ‘Neytiri’. The reason this movie was a great success comes first from the breakthrough development in imaging technology and computer graphic(CG) technology. Director Cameron utilizes this technology well and succeeds in making all of his imagination come to life in a great piece of work. Also, the narrative structure related with various eastern philosophies, which interested the asian audience as if the story was their own. 󰡔Avatar󰡕 showed the audience the existence of the ‘avatar me’ in a virtual world, instead of ‘me’ in the real world through a medium symbolized by a ‘link’ and created a unique language of the Na’vi to realize the existence of aliens. Director Cameron said, “The real theme is to look at others with your hearts open” regarding various criticisms on 󰡔Avatar󰡕. This statement by Cameron can be taken as meaning that the communication between humans and others species is imperative, and that to survive in the near future one must learn to coexist with nature. The method of communication by the Na’vi in the movie is based on understanding the harmony and the nature between energies. The bond between humans and animals, plants and all living things on earth, exchange energy with each other, which makes up nature. One can state that all species cannot survive by themselves alone but rather as a part of nature itself. The picture tries to make aware of various conflicts and the solutions that surrounds our daily lives while increasing our awareness of the future.
