Avatar is a movie about a future world. Please analyze this movie from critical perspectives.

The shotcomings of the Avatar

Although Avatar is a very good movie It still has many shotage . Avatar’s political shortcomings

Avatar challenged U.S. imperialism in a way that no other blockbuster film has! It was more than a little ironic to watch National Guard advertisements before a film that ended with the audience cheering on a struggle of an indigenous people against U.S. Imperialism.

James Cameron could have made the invaders some generic country, but he chose to politicize it in a contemporary way, forcing us to think of current justifications for U.S. wars and occupations. So I certainly don't think we should dismiss Avatar as "so much unreconstructed Orientalism," in the words of Nagesh Rao ("Anti-imperialism in 3-D").

Nevertheless, we should not be uncritical of its political shortcomings--centrally, the "going native" tradition that Rao (and other reviewers) discuss. In Rao's words, "the fantasy of 'going native' often ends with the white man not only assimilating into the 'native' culture, but emerging as their leader in their quest for

salvation or liberation from some oppressive force or circumstance."

I would have had no problem with Jake merely joining the resistance. But why did Cameron write the plot (in a "going native" tradition) so that Sully replaces the fallen chief to become the leader? The natives literally bow down before him. He becomes their spiritual leader while barely believing the religion himself.

He also becomes their political leader. He gives speeches to the Na'vi, suggesting that they should go to other clans to ask for assistance, after he becomes the person to fly/conquer a larger-than-life bird that nobody else has.

This situation is similar to the idea of an American GIs siding with the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War and joining the resistance. After a few months, NLF leader Ho Chi Minh dies, this soldier replaces Ho Chi Minh as the leader of the NLF, giving speeches in English to reunite and inspire an otherwise fractured and disoriented resistance.

While American soldiers certainly did openly identify with the Vietnamese resistance, the idea of one becoming the leader of this struggle is patently absurd. Cameron decided to write the film in a way so that this would happen, in an unfortunate tradition.

The film could just as easily been written so that Americans

were participants in the struggle of the Na'vi, with critical insight into U.S. operations, without someone replacing the chief to become the new leader. Why did Cameron write the movie this way? It's a problem, and while the film is great politically on many, many levels, this central plot line falls within the tradition Rao identifies, albeit within the context of movie that is otherwise politically very good.

However, we cannot deny this major problem with the film. And, frankly, we have to sympathize with people who have seen one too many "white savior" movies. Otherwise, we cede the ground to people like David Brooks, who has written a review about Avatar entitled "The Messiah Complex" to point out this flaw in an attempt to dismiss the movie and by association anti-imperialism in general.

Why can we say the English Patient is a romantic movie? This is one of the most romantic films ever made and is filled with the joy and peril of appreciate and war. It shows that while war may produce logistical lines that can not be crossed, the heart has no boundaries. Anyone who has ever experienced a esteem of such emotional intensity and physical longing that worship and need became one will understand the esteem affair of Katherine and Almasy.

Cinematographer John Seale has given this film a grace and beauty seldom seen on film. A haunting net rotund of mystery and romance from Gabriel Yard accompany scenes never to be forgotten, and will not be described here in case you have not yet seen them. Director Anthony Minghella explores the mystery of the desert, and the heart, which according to the “The Histories” by Herodotus, a book the English patient clings to, is an organ of fire.

If there is but one ounce of romance in your soul, you will cherish “The English Patient.” It is a well charted and romantic procedure of the human heart, as wide and treacherous as the unending desert. This will be one of your accepted films once you examine it. I promise.

Haunting and beautiful, Ondaatje's award-winning novel tells

the story of four war-damaged souls living in an Italian monastery at the end of WWII, and the love story between two of them, the nurse Hana, and the severely burned unnamed English patient. Unforgettably unique.

The English Patient can rightly be compared to the films of David Lean, whose sweeping epics such as 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Bridge on the River Kwai must have inspired the director Anthony Minghella. The film is beautifully photographed, and like 'Lawrence', is set in Northern Africa, but during the second world war. The story is complex, but it boils down to a forbidden love between an opinionated and often difficult archeologist played by Ralph Fiennes and a married woman played by Kristin Scott Thomas.

The film makes clear that true love and passion, even with dreaded consequences, can make life worth living, or worth dying for. If you're a romantic at heart, and can appreciate a film without the standard happy endings and simple moral codes, you may find that 'The English Patient' speaks directly to you.
