Reaction Paper to the movie AVATAR
Parallel statement

I told myself I can pass any test a man can pass.

-Jake Sully

This is how it is. A man no matter in what form he maybe, in this case a Navi, he would still
believe that he is a man. A human person. With its connection to the soul, to the human soul, no
matter how indefinite the soul is, there still a barrier between the two entities. As describe in
other parallel statements. The movie was entirely great, it touches the border that man would
cross just to benefit it. Though the movie was fiction, you cant really help but think, this movie
could be real someday, maybe after 150 years. It shows that the soul is also a controlling factor
in everybody. Jake Sully as a marine, he has a soul of an animal, an animal that is willing to kill,
not soft, not that hard, willing to kill just to live. But he never knew that his soul would change
as he entered the journey of being an avatar. He had a better soul as time went by; he was
changing right before his eyes. His soul was fluctuating itself between an Omaticaya Clan
member and a Human Person from earth. I think that the effects were great. The shadows of the
alien characters, the trees, the mountains and other cool stuff. I really appreciated the effects, and
the perseverance they put in this movie. The best effect was the Navi people, because of the
effects, they really look like true humans, their facial expression, their movements, as if it was
reality. I feel also the love story, which really related to the movie Pocahontas, were there are
foreigners and natives. I believe in the stories of the others, that this movie is really the movie of

the century; I would bow to the makers and the cast of this movie. For ten years of making, it is
really worth watching this movie. I also understand the difficulty they made through to make this
movie worth watching, the sacrifices in order for us to be entertained. And lastly I see the results
of

the

perseverance

of

this

people

and

their

stories.

This is all my reaction to the movie Avatar, and I would that you would also watch this movie of
the century. I assure you that it would be worth watching it. It has everything, love story, action,
and specially the cool effects.
