Avatar was a very good movie, which relates to a lot that’s going on now. It had a lot of information about what is going on today. When I first watched this movie I thought it was just entertaining. Until Mr. Leh asked us to look at it in the point of view of a student. That’s when I realized it had a big meaning and explained to us the view of natives and what is happening with them. There were two big things the movie related to, they are environment and homelessness. It’s related to what’s going on our environment because in the movie these people are destroying all of their stuff just to get this rock like thing so they can make money. It’s basically the same thing with us and our oil problem. These big corporations are going around and drilling into any and everything they can. They say it’s for us and our needs, and it is. But I believe it’s still more for their benefits, so they can live wealthier and better. And what confuses me, and bothers me the most is who have them the right to go and take the oil from our earth. Who gave it to them, or better yet who even sold it to them? How in the hell did they even get the right to do that? I don’t know the answer to that but I would like to know that. My point of view is that that oil is all of ours. See what oil is, is just dinosaur remains and other things just broken down by millions and millions of years. This is why it shouldn’t have belonged to anyone. It should be left alone if you ask me. Because of all the bad its causing us and our environment.
Don’t these people see what the drilling is doing to us and our precious earth? All this drilling is putting our population in danger. Then to make matters worse is, these people have the power and technology to make a change. Like for instance almost everything we use oil for can be changed for other things that do the same job. If it’s that easy why don’t they just do that you may ask? Well I’ll tell you why, it’s because by doing that they would lose money and won’t stay rich like they are.
Now for the other part the movie related to, which is homelessness. This is similar to the movie by their homes are getting destroyed for that little rock. But what is happening in our society is the drilling of the oil. And just recently there has been a major oil spill in the Gulf of México. And how this relates to the people losing their homes is, the animals are losing their homes. They way that is, is this oil is leaking into their habitat. It’s all going into the ocean where they live. The fish breathe the water, and now that the oil is in the water their taking all that in instead of the fresh water. That’s causing them to die off. It’s also ruining the coral and many other things that live in the ocean. Not only that it is effecting the animals outside of the ocean, like birds. They go to drink the water, but they end up just drinking the oil. Which causes them to die, or forces them to relocate.
These were the ways avatar related to the movie, and I think everyone should look at the bigger meaning of the movie. Because it’s like a warning, if we don’t do something about the oil drilling soon, it will kill all of our wildlife and maybe eventually us.
