In many science fiction novels described the future of television: three-dimensional, the viewer creates the effect of full presence on the ground. Some authors have even described such films in which the viewer can identify with the selected character and feel all that his character feels. Until recently, it was all a fantasy writers, but the film James Cameron's "Avatar" proves once again science fiction imagines, and predicts the future. "Avatar" - this is the first sign the three-dimensional cinema. And let the viewer is still can not feel the emotions the characters, but it has already had the opportunity to see the world through their eyes. Almost - to visit in the world.
The film "Avatar", which was released in late 2009, on the screens of the world, created a furor, and won millions of viewers. Colorful world Panodory - distant planet, full of dangerous predators, colored with beautiful colors, luxurious foreign forests is fascinating. Add to that the amazing civilization that does not develop at a mechanistic way as the earth and live in full communion with nature, and you get a little idea of what a Pandora Cameron. To get a complete picture, you need to see the movie.
The film is set in 2154
. Earth - not a perfect planet on which to live happy and Commonwealth nations
. It is a world full of local wars and conflicts
. However, the Earth develops deep space
. Planet Pandora - one of the farthest outposts of human civilization, a dangerous world, but rather a kind of attractive mineral, which costs prohibitively high, because it can cope with the energy crisis of the Earth
. For this jewel on Pandora working team of scientists and many military
. The main problem is that the rich mineral deposit is located just in the wrong place, which is occupied by a local tribe
. Establish contact with the natives does not work
. Earthlings offer them their modern science and medicine, but they flatly refuse
. The situation is complicated by the fact that the world of Pandora is hostile to man, a stranger, even the air itself: three seconds without a mask - paralysis, thirty seconds - certain death
.
In order to communicate with the natives of Pandora on an equal footing, earth scientists create avatars - specific clones based on DNA pandoriantsev and earthlings. Managed by the operator of the avatar by combining nervous systems, and the operator does become Text, whose body is completely adapted to the planet Pandora. That's just not everyone can manage such a clone, but only one whose DNA was used to create it. One of the operators was to be avatars Dr. Sally, a scholar who has studied the biology of other planets. But he was killed on the eve of departure to Pandora, and make an offer to fly his twin brother Jake - because they have the same genome, Jake, too, can manage Text.
Jake Sully is not very suitable at first glance, to such a mission. He is not a scientist and a former Marine. During one of the local wars Jake was injured as a result of which his paralyzed legs. But project managers are not willing to lose money invested in the creation of an avatar, and for Jake to Pandora flight even more attractive - as an avatar he will be able to walk.
On Pandora, Jake caught between two fires: on the one hand the military, to which he is still himself classifies ("Marines former do not happen") want it to be a spy in the camp of the "enemy", and got information that will help destroy the stubborn tribe of "savages", did not admit to the rich deposits of minerals; on the other - scientists who sincerely wish to learn unusual world of Pandora
. Of course, in the beginning, Jake is in the camp of the military, and delivers the information required
. But then there is a third party - the indigenous inhabitants of Pandora
. As a result of the extraordinary coincidence Jake Sully, a former Marine, tied a trusting relationship with a tribe
. Moreover, even taking it to the tribe, and he falls in love with a charming Neytiri, the daughter of the leader, and she loves it
. From that moment everything changes
. Jake finally goes to the side of the indigenous inhabitants of Pandora, moreover, he begins to consider this strange planet their home
. And ready to defend newfound family
.
Greed earthlings wins of reason and humanity, and war bombarded stubborn tribe bombs. Jake manages to unite the tribes pandoriantsev, and they are fighting for their land. The planet itself helps them - a unique relationship that exists between all living on Pandora, ensures that earthlings attack wild animals, and upset the invaders, driving them from their land.
And Jake manages to find a way to finally go into the body of the avatar and become a real pandoriantsem.
Here's a story. But is not it fascinating. When you put on glasses and plunge into the magical world of Pandora, the storyline becomes secondary. The main thing - the feeling of presence. You yourself are you running through the jungle to escape the angry pack of dangerous predators, climbing on the floating mountains, conquer tahorga ... The world of Pandora becomes the moving images on the screen, and most of this reality.
By the way, shooting "Avatar" in the empty hangar, which built wooden plane Howard Hughes "Hercules". And no fragrant, marvelous beauty of the jungle in the hangar did not build, even as the scenery. All the beauty cheering on the screen is the result of the studio of Peter Jackson's Weta Digital.
"Avatar" is in theaters in 3D-version, and in the usual form. And this a second option did not look very recommended - are immediately apparent shortcomings of the plot, moreover, its secondary, if not tertiary. While the world of Pandora watching glasses, somehow not so far as to seek out "fleas", but if you remove these wonderful, "pink" priborchiki how everything changes.
In August, 2009 (after the release of the first trailer of "Avatar"), it was reported that Fathom Studios is assessing the possible legal sanctions and intends to present to the creators of "Avatar," a claim of plagiarism. It turns out, according to management studio video of "Avatar" is almost completely repeats the video three-dimensional cartoon "Delgo," which was released in rent in 2008. The plot of "Delgo" is based on the confrontation races reasonable turtles and butterflies. Incidentally, the cartoon was completely a disaster: with a budget of $ 40 million., Managed to earn only $ 690 thousand.
Also, the theft scenario recently said Boris Strugatsky, who believes that "Avatar" copied from the cycle of his novels "Noon Universe". Incidentally, Boris Natanovich film was not looking. Nevertheless, the fact is that in the "World of noon" and "Avatar" present rakopauki and tahorgi, jungle natives (though the natives Strugatsky resemble dogs, natives Cameron - cats), as well as the main character falling Aboriginal people and becoming a member of their tribe.
It seems that Boris Strugatsky was not offended at the fact of "the world of plagiarism," and that no one said "thank you." And, indeed, that the novels of Burroughs used as a starting material, Cameron mentioned, but what about the "World of noon" did not say anything.
But the real "Avatar" is the story almost complete copy of another work - the animated film "Pocahontas" (Disney, 1998, directed by Eric Goldberg).
Available there and there and there - a young man belonging to a "higher" culture, to the mechanistic civilization
. And also - the daughter of the leader of the tribe of "savages", to which the young person is experiencing romantic feelings
. Tribe "savages" and "Avatar" and "Pocahontas" living in full communion with nature
. In "Avatar" with waterfall jumping protagonist in "Pocahontas" - character
. In "Pocahontas," the main character is the bride of the future leader of the tribe, but gives his heart to the white stranger from afar, "Avatar" - too
. And unsuccessful suitors in both films even have a resemblance! And just try to destroy the uninvited stranger, and take away your favorite place in encroaching on tribal
. By the way, even Grandmother Willow from "Pocahontas" is present in the "Avatar"! A sacred tree, worshiped pandoriantsy, which live on the souls of their ancestors - just copy Grandmother Willow
. One difference - Grandmother Willow branches with fireflies flies, and from the branches of the sacred tree of the Aboriginal Pandora - tiny glowing jellyfish (seeds of the tree)
. White aliens in "Pocahontas" looking for gold in "Avatar" - a mysterious but very expensive mineral
.
Of course, there are differences. For example, the main character of "Avatar" is not true friends. But its place perfectly fills botanist Grace. The leader of a tribe of "Pocahontas" remains alive as a result of all the twists and turns of the plot, as in "Avatar" this character dies (which is justified - he's got to make room for Jake Sully). A little bit different and landscapes - just enough to make it clear that Pandora still not in America.
Another plot twist borrowed from the cartoon "The Ant Bully» (Warner Bros., directed by John A.Devis, 2006). Boy Lucas, reduced to ant size (Jake Sully, increased to three meters tall Aboriginal), falls into the anthill (in aboriginal tribe), where the beauty-ant (beauty-Aboriginal) is given 3 days (3 months) to rehabilitate the "enemy of the people" and teach him to love wildlife.
A magnificent find Cameron - communication inhabitants of Pandora with nature, their unity, allows you to feel the emotion of each other (each pandoriantsa has a special body with a brush, and when the brushes are connected, and the hairs are intertwined, there is the same link) - is nothing like ? Look, this is a scene from "The Matrix"!
So do not shoot glasses and watch "Avatar" in the normal version, and you can see a lot.
Still, the creators of "Avatar" to be thanked, and the film certainly go down in history. No, not because of wretched story, nadergat pieces from various works. But - because of the bulkiness 3D. That sense of presence in the world of Pandora immortalize "Avatar" .Now many movie studios are thinking about transferring their highest-grossing films in the "state of the volume." They say that soon there will be "Star Wars" in 3D version, as well as many other films, the audience favorite. Thus, the "Avatar" - only the first step. Or first attempt.
