YO ~ In 1968, Cameron was 14 years old. He saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the first time, and since then he has really fallen in love with movies. To be precise, they are science fiction movies.
Cameron, who embraced dreams and ambitions, was in stark contrast to the backward film industry. He could only work as a truck driver first. In this way, the time came to 1977. "Star Wars" made Cameron feel that the era of movie science fiction and special effects is truly real. Arrived, so I decided to go to Hollywood , go to water.
Cameron really loves water and the ocean, perhaps because water is formless, or because the ocean is mysterious and unfathomable. In short, Be water.
about water can be traced back to Cameron's twists and turns in 1981's "Piranha 2: Breeding", to 1989's "Abyss", and "Titanic". He even drove the deep sea probe himself The submarine spent 90 minutes diving into the deepest Mariana Trench on the earth, and then came to "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" to be talked about today.
At the beginning of 2010, "Avatar", which was defined as changing the future film pattern, was released. Time has proved that "Avatar", as one of the greatest films of the 21st century, has indeed truly changed the audience's viewing habits, and has affected the shooting front-end and An upgraded iteration of the cinema backend.
The audience realized that the original movie can still be watched this way. Cameron has become a card god.
After thirteen years, reality seems to have played a joke on us again. The raging epidemic has caused unprecedented impact on all walks of life around the world, and theaters are naturally not immune. Although there have been several outbreaks of the epidemic in recent years, but about The film technology industry and the hot man who keeps creating myths, everyone has focused their attention on "Avatar 2: The Way of Water".
Everyone is waiting to see, can this movie rewrite the trajectory of the movie again?
No spoilers Comments
As the sequel "The Way of Water" to take over the mantle of the film history giant "Avatar" and continue to swim forward, the film took 3 hours to let us leave the earth again, dreaming back to the place full of wonders and Pandora star with treacherous and mysterious power.
However, what is interesting is that Pandora seems to have become a time freeze of the interstellar travel effect during these 13 years. The earth is developing, but the peaceful surface of Pandora is facing the challenge of the earth.
In the past 13 years, the development of movies on the earth has not been lacklustre. During this period, the superhero genre dominated the big screen, showing us all kinds of whimsical ideas of special effects, science fiction and magic, and feeding the imagination of the audience. .
And the narrative of the film is also combined with the rapid development of the film industry, and commercial blockbusters are constantly innovating, such as " Inception ", "The Fantasy Drifting of Boy PI", "Prometheus", "Mad Max 4", " Blade Runner 2049", "Creed", "Dune" and so on.
The advent of these blockbusters has made the audience raise their expectations for this "Avatar" sequel "The Way of Water" that has been going on for six years and six years.
Maybe probably, this is why everyone has had such a heated discussion after watching "The Way of Water", and the current film evaluation is ups and downs.
The time background of "Way of Water" happened more than ten years after "Avatar 1".
In "Avatar 1", Jack led the Na'vi people to repel the human attack, guard the Pandora star homeland, and send humans back to the earth. Only a small number of scientists and humans who stood with the Na'vi people can stay in Pandora Xing continued to live, and Jack finally passed the holy tree Eva, abandoned his human body, successfully transferred his consciousness to Avatar, and officially became a Na'vi.
During this period, Jack and Natilie lived a shameless married life and gave birth to a litter of cubs. Having biological children is not enough, JackThey also adopted Dr. Grace's daughter Qi Li (Ji Li), and the human orphan "Spider" who grew up eating Baijia rice . This big family lives happily.
But the good times don't last long, whether the brightest star in the night sky is a human can hear clearly, the worries and concerns in the heart of Jack who is looking up.
What should come will always come, it’s not that we don’t report, the time has not come, human beings are making a comeback, this time it’s not mining, but colonization.
Humanity’s greater invasion and control of Pandora has become inevitable, and Colonel Miles, who had died in the previous movie, turned into a cloned Avatar and came to find Jack to settle accounts. Jack had no choice but to choose Take refuge in the coral tribes far away in the oceanic islands.
So the story of a game of cat and mouse begins.
Undoubtedly, although 13 years have passed, in the context of the so-called ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, Cameron is still very good at special effects, using the constantly innovative film industry technology to show us the power of Pandora. Everything is impossible. The previous video has already talked about the technical aspect. If you are interested, you can go and watch it. Since
was released in 2010, 3D and blockbuster movies have been bundled together for a few years. There is no 3D without blockbuster movies. However, after the controversy of " Bourne Shadow 3", the use of 3D technology has gradually returned to rationality, but so Over the years, there are only a handful of movies that can truly be called true 3D movies.
" Avatar 2" has once again proved the dominance of 3D immersion. Clearly see the traces of the years.
In the jungle scene, "Avatar 2" added a lot of dust particles. According to the distance, the fine dust can make the audience perceive the depth of the screen space, thus making Pandora more real and credible .
If you have watched the previous work "Avatar 1" carefully, you really have to pick a small problem, that is, the movement of pure CG animals still lacks a sense of weight. For example, some scenes of the black panther walking seem a little light.
But "Avatar 2" strengthens these physical logics. For example, when Jack and the others ride the dragon monster and land on the beach, you can see the weight of the pure CG dragon monster's claws sunken into the sand.
Not to mention the perfect fusion of water as a medium and sea creatures such as Na'vi, Yilu, Qingyi, Tukun, etc., you don't know which water is real and which water is made by CG.
Those sea creatures and seabed plants , when they appear, they seem to exist, and in the architectural design of the Coral Tribe, Cameron also added difficulty to himself, so that the Na'vi people are not in the flat land Instead of walking on the ground, a layer of elastic fabric is laid, allowing the character to walk on it like a spring bed, which further adds a lot of challenges to the motion capture.
As for the core part of "Way of Water", the underwater filming is even more unprecedented. The underwater performances and body movements of the characters do not rely on hanging wires, nor do they use wind power or equipment to let the actors fly into the air, but the actors really hold their breath A performance done in water.
also uses small bubbles and tiny plankton in the water to reflect the deep immersion and sense of reality in the water space.
It is from these tiny details that Pandora has completely widened the gap with the current mainstream special effects blockbusters. There is a joke that "Avatar was actually shot by Cameron with the main creative team on Pandora". The highest praise for the visual effects and beauty of Avatar 2.
Of course no movie is perfect, even in terms of special effects technology, I can see Avatar 2 at framesRate can't fool people's eyes.
When Cameron filmed "Avatar 2", most of them were shot with high frame rate and . You can see that most of them are not all, so there may be inconsistencies in the frame rate of the whole film.
If people’s eyes have been watching the habit of high frame rate, and then suddenly return to 24 frames per second, they will obviously feel the difference, and even some pictures feel that there are frame drops or stuck frames, and some pictures I feel There is an acceleration.
At first, I thought it was a problem with the equipment of the theater I was watching, but after I watched it three times in different theaters, I thought it was not a problem with the equipment, maybe it was caused by the inability to synchronize the frame rate of the film.
If you ask me if it is worth buying a ticket to watch "Avatar 2", then I will tell you that "Avatar 2" is the most exquisite and beautiful work in audio-visual presentation in recent years. Choose a theater with the largest screen and go to Enter and experience the imaginative and colorful world of Pandora.
BUT, on the basis of almost perfect special effects, the discussion on the story level of "Avatar 2" is not so friendly. As the sequel of "Avatar 1", "The Way of Water" must also be used to compare with the previous work on the story level for comparison.
and as a phenomenal blockbuster that Kashen has made everyone wait for so long, the audience's expectations and demands will naturally be raised by more than 100 million points.
Next is the comment on the story level of "Avatar 2".
still wants to declare that "Avatar 2" is definitely not a bad movie in my eyes. It has flaws and deficiencies, but it deserves to be seen by more people. Even in the story, there are expressions of sincerity and love .
If you want to see the arguments about this movie’s sarcasm and ridicule, or you have read countless movies and feel that "Avatar 2" is useless, and "Dune" is also a big bad movie, then you don’t have to watch my next one Spoiler review.
OK, the buff is stacked, let's start. There will be a few spoilers, please read with caution.
Spoiler comments on the story level
"Avatar 2" has an old school traditional classic three-act narrative structure, with Cameron's self-understanding of family, and implanted a lot of Disneyland color filters, and also comes with race, Issues such as environmental protection, friendship, love, humanitarianism, , love for animals, political metaphors, revenge and atonement, etc., have opened up the seemingly more complicated Pandora world for us.
Although the whole movie is three hours long, it only uses the most basic three-act structure to tell the story. I think the jungle scene in the first act of
and the decisive battle in the third act are very good. In terms of narrative, emergencies and lead to a greater crisis, and the characters’ motivations are closely related to the plot.
The difficulty of the three-act classic narrative structure is that the second act, which takes up almost two-thirds of the film’s duration, is extremely challenging for the audience’s patience, but the advantage of the three-act structure is that the second act can slowly advance the plot, shaping the Full and believable characters, bringing shocking emotional impact to the third act.
However, in order to satisfy the sensory stimulation of audiences who are more and more receptive to new things, mainstream movies now need to complete a more complex narrative mode of four acts and five acts, and create more climax reversals to satisfy the audience.
Simply put, whether it is four-act five-act, it is a subdivision of the classic three-act script structure. The only difference is that four-act five-act will definitely have an obvious climax and event disclosure in the middle of the film to complete the film. reverse.
When we go back to "The Way of Water", we can find that the turning point in the middle of the second act of the film is not too obvious, and it is even difficult to define where the climax and key of the second act is. Perhaps Qili connects with the sacred tree on the seabed The convulsions of the mystery can also be humans hunting Tukun to reveal new energy, but no matter how you judge it, it lacks strong dramatic tension, and it fails to achieve a key turning point in the main plot.
do not compare with other works, Take the previous work "Avatar 1" as an example. "Avatar 1" is also a classic three-act scene, but on the basis that the theater version is only 162 minutes long, the second act of the film ended early, home tree Two-thirds of the film was bombed, Jack entered a trough, and then rode a phantom to lead the Na'vi to fight, and the film entered the wonderful third act decisive battle.
On the other hand, "Avatar 2" is three hours long, and the length alone is a test for the audience, and the second act is still immersed in the detour of the way of water be water, and the third act is long overdue.
But still the same sentence, the advantage of this is that you can have enough time to enrich and shape the many main new characters in the film. This is also the reason why I talked about the complex plot of the film in the dynamic chat before. It is not that the main story is complicated, but It is the relationship between the characters in the film that paves the way for more details in the series after Avatar, making full preparations for "Avatar 3", and even 4 and 5.
However, just judging from the plots of the second act of the film, it seems a bit deviated from the main plot, and I even suspected that " conspiracy theory " is whether Disney has to put in some in order to build a new park. What about the beautiful underwater landscape that can't promote the plot? Just kidding, I love Disneyland and I love Duffy.
That is still compared with "Avatar 1". When we appreciate the charming jungle of Pandora, the plot is still tied to the advancement of the main narrative.
This kind of contrast also makes the first act of "Avatar 2" contrast with the second act. In the first act of the jungle scene, the setting of the story background, the triggering event, and the first time Miles and Jack In terms of confrontation, the rhythm control and atmosphere rendering, as well as the scene scheduling of the action scenes, can be called the wonderful return of the sequel of "Avatar"!
Wait until Jack chooses to go to the Coral Tribe with his family for the sake of his family and tribe, the film enters the second act. However, he chose a more "water way" family route, which greatly narrowed the pattern of the Avatar series.
Maybe this is why after comparing 2 and 1, everyone feels that the story content of "Avatar 2" is more low-age audience. The fundamental reason is that the film structure of "Avatar 2" shrinks. The struggle turned into a personal conflict between Miles and Jack, focusing on family affection.
But this is also what I saw Cameron dare to challenge and make a difference in content. The accumulation of the plot of the first and second acts and the causal relationship between the characters created the explosion of emotional power in the third act. This kind of emotion Like the special effects, it is sincere and delicate. The
film boldly does not use characters to promote the plot, but uses a lot of trivial things to show as many aspects of the characters as possible.
Take my simple experience of watching it three times so far. I thought that knowing the plot and the ending, the more times I watch it, the emotional power of the third act will weaken. Seeing more character relationships and details, the weight of family affection is superimposed, which makes the scene of Nat Yam in the third act more touching to me.
Even though I predicted the fate of my eldest son Nat Yam in the first trailer in May, when I actually saw that scene coming, I still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Emotions like this will still reverberate in my mind after the film is over. The last thing left in "Avatar 2" is the courage and determination regained after the lament of Jack's family.
In fact, the whole "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" took three hours to film the line: Children are our weakness and our armor.
I think the movie has done a good job interpreting this line.
Of course, this cannot be a reasonable excuse for the procrastination of some parts of the second act of "Avatar 2".The big turning point happened in the middle of the film, the third act was advanced, and the pattern of the fourth act was upgraded to the same as the first one, strengthening the contradiction between the Na'vi people and humans. Will this make the 3-hour rhythm more exciting? It also makes everyone look forward to the greater and deeper confrontation between the Na'vi people and humans in "Avatar 3".
But if I do this, I also know that Nat Yam’s final ending will have less impact on the audience than the current movie in terms of emotional outbursts, and it will even appear to make the setting of this character more formulaic. The middle section turns and turns.
As we all know, we can still see "Avatar 3", so the elevation and opposition in the pattern of "Avatar 2" may be placed in Avatar 3 instead of 2.
Alright, after talking about the plot structure of the movie, let’s dig into the details of the narrative and character relationships along the story level.
Many big partners may not be very clear about "plot" and "narrative". I don't quite agree with the so-called "Avatar 2 plot is old-fashioned, vulgar, and bad". You must know that the more classic movies in the past, the more concise and clear the story can be summarized, and it is easy to understand.
But behind these clear stories, excellent "narrative skills" are needed to support them. We all say that Nolan's movies are very brain-burning. In fact, it is not the complexity of the stories, but the "narrative skills" that dominate.
If Nolan's first "Follow" and " Memento " were filmed according to the chronological order of the plot, then Nolan would never be favored and appreciated by the producers, and there would be no more mind-boggling movies later.
My screenwriting teacher once told me that if you compare "story plot" to a piece of beautiful paper or rough stone, then "narrative skills" are the scissors or hammers you use to create stories, and you need to use these tools to polish your Let the audience see a piece of flat paper finally cut into a paper-cut artwork, and a piece of rough stone transformed into a sculpture.
So behind the scenes of an excellent movie, whether it is a high-concept or moving plot, it needs to be completed through brilliant "narrative skills". Going back to the so-called "old-fashioned plot" in "Avatar 2", it may be possible to use "narrative skills that are too old Set" is more appropriate to describe.
The next thing I think about the narrative skills of "Avatar 2" is what I think can be done better.
First of all, the foreshadowing of the characters, Jack was worried about the boss and the second child at the beginning, the first scene of the Na’vi people guerrilla war against humans, , the eldest son was injured, and Jack even said “I thought I would lose him "It's not a good thing for the audience who are already familiar with the routine to set the flag too early for such a line.
Next, there are a lot of familiar narrative settings. The last one is Jack riding a horse, and this one is Loach riding Illu.
The last film is Natily and Jack I SEE YOU, this one is Loach and Sheria I SEE YOU. Speaking of Sheria as a Na’vi, why do I think she looks quite good-looking in the film? Going on, is there anyone like me.
In the previous film, Jack encountered a black panther, and this time Roark encountered a big shark attack. In short, these "self-tributes", occasionally one is okay, too many will reduce the freshness of watching movies.
What’s more, there are too many characters. Even though the 6 characters of Jack’s family can be seen to have made a lot of choices, it still seems that some important characters still have more to say, such as Qi Li, who failed to show her mystery in key scenes, and It was because Qi Li was a rebellious child like Roark.
In fact, it is good to create a rebellious child. Every child should have a different typical personality, which may appear more three-dimensional and rich in terms of growth issues.
and the spiderAs for the role, his roles are really too few, and his acting skills are also very average. The role of spider has multiple and complicated identities, and I think it is very worth digging.
The spider was abandoned since childhood, and grew up in the human research laboratory of the Na'vi tribe. Like a stray cat, it grew up on the rice, feces and urine of the whole village. As a human spider, it was cared for by scientists and learned to be fluent On the other hand, they play with the cubs of Jack's family, thinking that they are Neville people. Spider and Qili also have a lot of ambiguous feelings, but one of them is a human species, and the other is Neville. species.
plus the fact that the spider knows who his father is, such multiple identities can actually create a strong dramatic tension in the spider, but the spider has not been able to play well in the film for a long time. In the end, I made an easter egg for everyone, and there was a subtle father-son relationship between Spider and Miles.
I look forward to a better performance of the character Spider in "Avatar 3".
Next is the issue of hostages. Maybe I want to express that Colonel Miles still has a little humanity. I will talk about this in detail later, but Miles repeatedly took hostages to attack Jack twice. Is the plot design a bit lazy? The first time Miles threatened Jack with a hostage, Tu Kun suddenly appeared and caused chaos.
But the second time he took hostages again, Miles knew that Jack had already boarded the boat for a sneak attack, so he hurriedly shouted to Jack to emphasize that there was a hostage, and asked Jack to die obediently, but directly played defensive counterattack, and it was very late It was not until later that Miles remembered that he had a hostage in his hands. This logic was not very smooth.
The bigger bug I think is the Na'vi people of the coral tribe who suddenly disappeared. Half of them disappeared, and there was no one to explain where they went. You must know that the daughter of the coral leader on the ship was still there, they just... Gone.
I know it's going to be up to the Jacks to fight Miles in the end, but... at least it would be nice to have an account.
Then there is the human side. The bridgehead colony is in full swing, the whaling ships are built like dumplings, and humans are devouring the resources of Pandora like a virus. They are effectively combined, otherwise the pattern can be improved a lot.
However, we can also see that these intensified contradictions should be realized in "Avatar 3".
talked so much, I also understand that the sequel of a successful movie is very difficult to challenge, not to mention that this is the sequel of "Avatar", this is Cameron's movie that continues to create movie miracles, so As long as there are flaws in "Avatar 2", the audience will magnify these shortcomings, just because we expect and hope that "Avatar 2" will really look good.
A friend asked me before, do you think "Avatar 2" will be more successful than "Avatar 1", my answer at the time was definitely, impossible, because "Avatar" was too successful!
Now that I have finished watching the movie, I will still say that "Avatar 2" will not be as successful as "Avatar 1", but I like this "Avatar 2" and the movie did not disappoint me.
And, isn’t there still “Avatar 3”, maybe many details and content will be better exploded in “Avatar 3”, maybe when watching “Avatar 2 and 3” together, there will be 1+1>2 Let's watch the movie effect.
In addition, it is said, it is only said that the Cameron cut version of "Avatar 2" is 9 hours, can you bear it? If this is true, then I can understand why the film has many fragmented dark scenes, Then flashed the screen again, and used very hard editing to complete the switching of chapters, perhaps because a lot of plots disappeared in the middle.
But 9 hours is an exaggeration, and it is even said that the special effects have been rendered for 9 hours, which is outrageous. Is there nowhere to spend the money? I guess the so-called 9 hours may include"Avatar 3", as mentioned earlier, the two films were filmed back to back.
One more thing, Cameron said in previous interviews, if the box office of "Avatar 2" is not good, the Avatar series will stop at making a trilogy, and the third part is the final chapter, so this means the third part There could be several endings.
If the box office of 2 is good, then 3 will use the follow-up ending, if the box office of 2 is not good, then 3 will directly use the ending ending.
Analysis of Brain Hole Questions and Answers
Okay, let's talk about the unsolved mysteries in "Avatar 2" in the form of Q&A.
Question 1: Who is Qili's father?
will give the answer first. I think Qili's father is most likely Eva.
Who is Eva? ! Eva may be the commander-in-chief of Pandora, a mysterious and intelligent life form that balances the ecology of the planet.
In "Avatar 1", we have already experienced Eva's ability, mobilizing the animals in the jungle to fight against humans, and in "Avatar 2", the dragon monster continued to defend on the Hallelujah Mountain, and human fighters drove in will be annihilated.
The jungle sacred tree and the seabed sacred tree are Eva's transit base stations.
was shot by Grace in the last film. Everyone wanted to pass through the holy tree and transform Grace’s consciousness into the avatar body, but it failed, but it didn’t fail completely. Grace said before she died, I saw Eva, and then the screen There are images of transitions seen from her perspective.
So Grace's consciousness had a connection and fusion with Eva.
As for the Avatar’s body, we can see from the beginning of “The Way of Water” that Jack and the others put the Avatar’s body into the cultivation cabin, which shows a problem. The Avatar’s body may still have a heartbeat, breathing, or some kind of life The characteristics of signs, so it was put into the cultivation cabin.
And then a miracle happened, Grace's avatar became pregnant and gave birth to Qili.
It can be seen from Qili's various non-searching actions in the film that Qili may be one of Eva's descendants.
How do you understand "one of the descendants", judging from the current two Avatars, perhaps the animals and plants on Pandora are all descendants of Eva, including the Na'vi people, because all the animals and plants on Pandora can use braided tentacles Connect and communicate.
just said that Qi Li, as a descendant of Avatar developed by human beings, belongs to the variant of variants, so the energy is mutated.
Because Grace was seriously injured at the time, Eva was unable to recover, but it did not do nothing. Eva made Grace's avatar pregnant, and in this way, Grace's life was extended in another way.
This is why Qili looks a little melancholy in the film, because Pandora is being invaded and destroyed by humans, and Qili can feel Eva's feelings.
BUT, I can't say too much.
If the film predicts our prediction, then maybe Grace did some mysterious experiments on her avatar when she was alive, these experiments led to her pregnancy, and she even found a Na’vi to spend the time with her. A good night may lead to pregnancy.
But in this case, it is difficult to explain why Qi Li can command animals and plants in the film. So no matter what, Qili and Eva must have a strong connection.
Question 2: Why does Qili twitch when she links to the sacred tree in the sea?
We can see that the holy tree in the sea seems to be more powerful than the holy tree in the jungle. If the holy tree in the jungle can hear the voice of the dead, then the holy tree in the sea can restore the picture for you, and produce some illusions, and the dead to communicate.
This source of inspiration can be seen in "Solaris", which is very interesting.
Kiri is in fantasySeeing Grace in the elephant, when Qi Li asked who her father was, Grace frightened and disappeared, which seemed to be a taboo topic, after which Qi Li convulsed and fell into a coma.
At present, there are not many clues to explain why this is. If I bite the bullet and think hard, because Grace was doing transformation in the jungle and then became pregnant, so Qili might be the son of Eva in the jungle, but in the water, maybe The "system" still needs to be upgraded to be compatible.
Question 3: Is Eva a man?
Eva I think there should be no distinction between men and women, Eva is Eva, Eva is the mysterious existence that created Pandora's life and maintained Pandora's ecological balance.
Question 4: Why didn’t the Tukun group fight against humans in the final battle? The leader of the coral tribe in the
video explained that many years ago, Tu Kun killed each other in order to fight for territory, but in exchange for more killings, so Tu Kun has since become aloof from the world for the sake of peace, staying away from killing and violence.
So even if the mother of Tu Kunqun was killed, the other Tu Kun would not resist.
In addition to the Broken Arm Tukun coming out to help, it is also because Roark is a good friend.
Question 5: Why does the second child, Roark, have five fingers? I have analyzed the
preview analysis, it is random, the eldest Nat Yam and the third child Touk follow their mother, they have no eyebrows on four fingers, the second follow their father and have eyebrows on five fingers, they look like Avatar.
Maybe because this is the "Avatar" series, so Roark, as a more orthodox descendant of Avatar, looks like Avatar. The contradictions and conflicts among the Na'vi people, but to be honest, the film doesn't describe this issue too deeply.
Question 6: Will Natily actually kill the spider?
At that time, Miles caught Qili as a hostage, but Natily also caught the spider and threatened to exchange the child for the child. Natily almost did it, but Miles admitted it.
so, this is an open-ended puzzle. As Natili who just lost her son, she has seen the anger of revenge in her eyes. Felt Natiri would really have gotten at spiders then.
Because we can see how much she hates humans by looking back at what happened to Natilie. Natilie’s sister was shot to death by soldiers, humans destroyed her home tree, and her father died in the chaos , and now humans forced their family to leave the jungle and leave the tribe, and asked her husband to resign from the position of leader. As the leader's wife, Natiri became a refugee overnight, and had to move to a coral tribe with nowhere to go. living in seclusion.
Now that the eldest son, Natyam, is also dead, all factors combined, the anger has swallowed Natily.
In the comics, the spider was adopted by Jack's family, and he didn't know who his father was, but only knew that his mother was a helicopter soldier. This already made Natily very upset. In the comics, Natily scolded a lot because of the spider's mistakes He, and rises to spider mother is human soldier or something.
The movie has modified the setting of the spider. The spider is just playing very close to the children of Jack’s family, and the spider is the son of Miles. I predicted that Miles and the spider are father-son relationship at the time. Say it won't be so bloody, it's true.
Then this changed setting makes it easier for Natily to do it.
Question 7: Will Miles kill the hostage child?
Some people will say, is Miles so soft-hearted? Children dare not kill? He is the big villain!
In fact, the film's portrayal of Miles has a foreshadowing. As a human soldier, Miles's interests are all for the interests of mankind, but he also has his own moral bottom line and emotional softness.
When Miles went to blackmail the Na'vi people of other coral tribes, he didn't kill the villagers in the end, but burned the house, and when he took the hostage for the first time, he pointed a gun at Loak , is the oldest male among several hostages. When
took hostages for the second time, he also chose Qili from Qili and Tuke.
As for Myers’ son Spider, strictly speaking, he is not the biological son of the Avatar Miles, but even so, when Miles saw the spider being tortured to extract a confession, he still fished out the spider himself bring.
So judging from these various details, Miles is not completely a heinous villain, but Miles really hates Jack very much. He himself said that Jack's eldest son does not need to die, all he wants is Jack life.
In summary, it can explain that Miles took Jack’s child as a hostage. In fact, in the end, Miles may not actually kill Jack’s child, I think.
Then why does Miles hate Jack so much, because Miles is a soldier, Jack is also a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders and be loyal. As far as Miles is Jack's boss, Miles once trusted Jack so much, but Jack, as a soldier, betrayed Miles, the army, and even human beings. Miles felt that it was unforgivable.
Of course, from the perspective of the Na'vi people, I provoked you on Pandora, and even blew up my home tree, right?
The relationships and conflicts of interests between these characters are very complicated. Personal conflicts and hatred can also be sublimated to a larger scale. It is a pity that "Avatar 2" did not go deep into the representation of Miles and Jack. Interest groups, what a pity, what a pity.
Question 8: Was Miles cloned just to avenge Jack?
has already talked about the shrinkage of the layout of "Avatar 2" is too small, so that the final decisive battle is a kind of duel between Miles and Jack's personal hatred, and the bridgehead at the beginning is just an embellishment without going deep.
In fact, General Bridgehead mentioned at the beginning that during the process of human colonization, they encountered obstacles from the Neville guerrillas led by Jack. The first action scene of the film shows Jack’s beatings and robberies. Jack is a serious threat to human beings. , must be removed.
So this is the reason why Miles was cloned out. What he wanted was a human avatar army to wipe out the Neville guerrilla squad led by Jack.
Miles' mission throughout the movie, both public and private, is to kill Jack in order to completely destroy the Neville guerrillas led by Jack. If
really said that he wanted to avenge himself, it might be more personal for Miles to kill Natily, after all, Natily was the one who really killed him.
But at this time, you should say, Jack is tired of the war, and his family hid in the Coral Tribe, why is Miles chasing him so hard, can't he just let Jack go?
There are two reasons here. The first is that Miles doesn’t know that Jack is no longer fighting. After all, Jack won’t send a text message to Miles saying that I’m counseled.
The second is that in the eyes of humans and Miles, Jack must die, because the territory of humans will expand and expand. No one can guarantee that Jack will not make a comeback one day. The key is to get rid of hidden dangers.
That's why we can see Miles looking for Jack's revenge all the way, and Jack must die. This is actually an instruction task given to Miles by the human army.
I really hope that there is a director's cut version that can tell Miles' motives more clearly, and then it would be better to enlarge and stretch the pattern.
Question 9: Jack's family left and left their own tribe, isn't it afraid that the tribe will be in danger?
It is mentioned at the beginning of the film that Jack's jungle tribe settled in Hallelujah Mountain, and humans can't find it or enter it. Because there is a dragon demon guarding it, humans will be surrounded and beaten if they get close.
But if Jack is always around, humans may use a greater price andUse force to find Jack, and as Jack is the leader, if something happens to Jack, the Na'vi people of the tribe will definitely join the battle, and it is inevitable that there will be heavy casualties.
So Jack, who was tired of the war, chose to leave to divert the attention of humans. This method was also successful. The humans in Jack's original tribe did not have the energy to continue to harass and invade.
After all, this is Pandora, and human army reserves are limited.
Question 10: How will the Avatar series develop afterward?
The subtitle of "Avatar 3" is: The Bearer, the name is really elegant.
Perhaps what the seed bearer is talking about is Qi Li, Qi Li is the seed of Eva, and it is a new beginning for the evolution of Pandora.
The time background of "Avatar 3" may be followed by 2. Qili's energy is getting stronger and stronger, and she plays a big role in fighting against humans. The relationship between her and the spider will further deepen and become more contradictory.
Spider may have his own avatar.
At present, the box office of "Avatar 2" is not as good as expected. If so, we can only face the reality. "Avatar 3" may be the final chapter. The decisive battle between the Na'vi people and humans should be placed on the bridgehead. Another explanation for the
seed carrier is that from the perspective of human beings, human beings may have discovered the ultimate mystery of Pandora, that is, the seeds of Eva, which can save the earth's environment.
The subtitle of "Avatar 4" is "Knight of Tukun". In "Avatar 2", we can see Loak enter Tukun's stomach to connect, and then see Tukun's memory.
Tukun has two braids outside his body, but I don’t know if they can be connected. Anyway, judging from the title, the fourth part should be able to ride Tukun. Tukun broke the taboo and joined the battle.
If Tukun corresponds to the Phantom of the Sky, then the one who can become the knight of Tukun may be Roark. After all, Jack is too old, and the second part also gives enough hints that Roark and Tukun are not related. generally.
Maybe at that time, Roark and Siria got married, and Roark could still ride the Tukun, so Loark naturally became the leader of the Coral Tribe.
The subtitle of "Avatar 5" is "Pursuing Eva". There is no doubt that all the mysteries will be revealed in the fifth part. Perhaps by this time, human beings have fully grasped the mysteries of Pandora and want to put them on the earth. Save the ecology and life of the earth, and there are good and evil sides in human beings, so the fifth part is not just the struggle between the Na'vi people and human beings.
is the pattern between Pandora and the earth. If it can be photographed, it may be a cosmic level vision like Star Wars.
So back to the beginning, Cameron entered Hollywood because of "Star Wars". The Avatar series is also Cameron's ambition to create a sci-fi godfather series. Good
