Procediamo con la decostruzione.
In pillole, pros and cons of Avatar :
- Bring forward new VISION film effects with high-definition 3D , technically focuses on creating a new universe to maximize the potential of this fantastic car. As well as "M " by Fritz Lang [1931] has enhanced the transition to talkies, this film allows us to see better, more thoroughly, and, sometimes, vedere per la prima volta la magia del cinema fantastico. Avatar produce una nuova estetica del cinema, concentrandosi sul bello e sulla sua rappresentazione tramite immagine. - MA , c’è sempre il ma. Essendo un kolossal della forma estetica ed essendosi preoccupato così tanto di quella che è la forma di questa nuova visione, è stato tralasciato molto a livello del contenuto. Avatar è un concentrato di “ già visto e già sentito ” nonostante rilegga il tutto sotto l’occhio tridimensionale del cinema IMAX At the level of script is very poor. It produces no new meaning, revises the previous sense in a new look. Have been cited many films from which he could draw on to Cameron's script Avatar: P ocahontas, Matrix, Atlantis, Aida of the Trees, Ferngully. ( To explore these issues I refer you to link ).
Now, let a little reflection about one of the issues behind the story. Avatar of what struck me even more disturbed at the level of ethics. I omit the story, the context of Pandora , the concept of vision (which I have already treated for short) and the blue alien in order to concentrate on the double, which permeates throughout the film.
a paraplegic boy, or a person with physical limitations and a desire for revenge (something like a science project entrusted to his brother, but after his untimely death is selected our protagonist, so it begins to take shape already a comparison "and a duplicity ) is facing the possibility of solving all problems through a virtual interface that carries his" soul "(meaning Cartesian of res cogitans ) in un perfetto corpo alieno.
L’evasione dal corpo naturale per il raggiungimento di una perfezione artificiale. L’abbandono della propria situazione fattuale per una (ir)realtà virtuale .
All’interno del contesto “Avatar” (ossia, ancora una volta, Pandora e alieni blu) il discorso trova le sue motivazioni nelle limitazioni fisiche del protagonista e nella storia d’amore su cui si basa la pellicola ( Titanic anyone? ), ma, considerando in maniera più attenta le caratteristiche di questa nuova realtà aliena salta all’occhio il primo elemento che potrebbe, appunto, portare all’alienazione of the protagonist.
I was documenting the origin of the term " Avatar," which for me has always had
the contemporary validity of "virtual double" in the RPG, and found some interesting news.
According to the original etymology of the word avatar is the image represented the god incarnate, this meaning is derived from the Hindu tradition and is used to define the key figures in religion as incarnations of the god Vishnu : Krishna Rama . It particularly stressed the fact that the Hindu concept the world comes very close to that of the civilization of Na ' you where every single element is connected to a universal whole through a spiritual network that allows the transfer of information, history and culture of their people over time. A peculiar feature of the avatars of the Indian tradition is their bluish color , the same color of the aliens starred in Cameron .
The term is mainly used today as part of the Internet and role-playing games (online or otherwise) to create a double of himself to be controlled at will. I have to characterize my avatar, scegliendo attributi fisici adatti e tratti peculiari che possono distinguerlo dagli altri avatar. I celebri videogiochi online come “ World of Warcraft ” ne sono una prova: il mio avatar diventa ciò che io non posso essere.
Il problema degli avatar online è un problema serio. La duplice valenza del termine, però non ci permette di sapere con certezza se Cameron voglia parlare della realtà virtuale che, sempre di più prende piede nel nostro mondo, alle volte soppiantandolo completamente (vedi eXistenZ di David Cronenberg [1999]) oppure di questa valenza mysticism and spirituality of a religion animist.
Beyond the physical implications of the protagonist of the film, the choice to make " winning" an avatar in relation to its original factuality is very heavy on the psychological level. This is interpreted as the perfect solution to every problem, a virtual panacea.
Jake Sully has no competence on military matters because of his disability, is depressed, dejected but once conquered his avatar becomes a winner. The progress wins out over nature, paradoxically. How can we remember in the movie Matrix [1999] , non ha importanza se il cibo che mangio è reale o meno, se il sapore di bistecca è veramente quello di una bistecca, mi soddisfa mangiarlo e la stessa irrealtà che mi circonda produce il mio piacere. È veramente un mondo costruito per me, per i miei bisogni . [Video quì ]

Prendo spunto dal film per proporre a voi lettori, come di consueto, l’approfondimento verso una tematica che trascende l’ interpretazione del film in se .
La vita di ognuno di noi si riflette nelle choices we make day after day, those seemingly useless to those essential to our existence. The choice that the protagonist takes at the end of the film is very important, involves issues of bioethics and genetic as Jake, chasing his dream (and attention to the word dream nell'accezione Freudian desire that ) decides to sacrifice his body and his identity is completely flawed and move on Pandora and have everything you always wanted. Perfect body, love and power.
The ideal of perfection ( aesthetic and ) is chased from the film until the total annihilation of nature, is a paradoxical message if we stop, just because the three hours of film did not repeat what was important to the nature and belonging to a people.
Delivering fantastic vision of Cameron in the much less pleasant, the generation of adolescents and adults of our world grappling with Internet and virtual reality such a choice is not the most advisable. For this, I repeat, the problem of the avatars (Three hundred and sixty degrees) is a major problem at the subjective level, involving the individual in the social sphere and psychological training that is indistinguishable from the real-image and that of an artificial though.
If you ever had a choice, what do you choose?
And this, dear readers, is also eugenics.
