"Men are admitted to the kingdom of heaven, not because they can restrain their passions, or have no passions, but because they can cultivate their understanding." According to the English poet William Blake, the reason why people The emblem of being a human being is not affection, obedience or obligation, but love and understanding, which is the source of all happiness; and the origin of all misfortune is what Chengzhou Zuoren said: only because the heart is the form, forgetting the way, Finally wrapped in ego, into a lonely situation. On the background of "Avatar", there are always two planets hanging: the happy "Pandora" and the unfortunate Earth in the future time and space.
In ancient Greek mythology, "Pandora" is a combination of "all gifts" and "all disaster spreaders". In this artificially named "Pandora" planet, human beings who have destroyed the earth have found hope: this planet is filled with the wealth that human beings can only dream of, a small piece of "unobtainable" ore is worth 20 million US dollars; At the same time, disasters were also found: "Outdoors without the assistance of a breathing mask, you will die in five seconds; if you are shot by the bow and arrow of the Na'vi, a native tribe on the planet, you will die in five seconds." Just as the human security forces on the planet Pandora The commander Colonel Stephen said: "If there is hell in the world, Pandora is more hell than human hell." But danger naturally cannot block the allure of wealth, and scientists have also been able to spend huge sums of money to use human and human beings. The DNA hybrid of the Na'vi breeds an Avatar nearly 3 meters tall in order to survive and mine minerals on the planet Pandora. And, as if to verify how dangerous Pandora is, Jack's neuron-controlled avatar was singled out in the first scientific expedition, and thus opened the "Pandora's box" to us: beautiful but man-eating flowers , a monster with enough ferocious appearance also has enough frightening attack power...
But whether it is "wealth" or "danger", this is a human perspective. In the eyes of the Na'vi people, in the eyes of humans, the "unobtainable" deposits that are priceless, they sleep under their pillows because this is where their home is; and the monsters are all powerful because their territory is affected by This is just like an interesting story of Su Dongpo and Foyin: those who have a Buddha in their hearts are all Buddhas; those whose hearts are filled with dung are dung. The only unclean thing in the world is the thought of believing uncleanness."
Therefore, people often like to set a trap for themselves, and the more they feel that they are civilized, the more they will be ridiculed by civilization, because the perspective of "people-centered" is incomplete and self-righteous. There is a Jewish proverb: "When human beings think God laughs." In contrast, the Na'vi, regarded by humans as a primitive and savage tribe, treated all life on the planet as brothers, even when they were shot for survival. They will thank them for their food and hold their chests in prayer - this is not hypocrisy, but they believe in the Virgin "Eva" who maintains the "balance of all things" in their hearts. The Na'vi people were able to provide mankind with a primitive thinking of "animity": everything is connected through "Aiwa", they can also communicate with each other through "tentacles", and all conflicts can be eliminated in ashes. When it calms down, the ripples like a water flower will be as quiet as a mirror. The Na'vi people who have this mirror in their hearts are like the "supreme people" that Zhuangzi admires most, and they understand everything: the intentions of the perfect people are like a mirror, they will not be rejected, and they should not hide, so they can conquer things without hurting them.
Jack slowly understood and integrated into the lake of the Na'vi people, and after being convinced, he slowly began to transform from "Earthman" to "Navi Man". "I don't understand that he is saving himself and saving mankind at the same time. Two different civilizations eventually led to the Armageddon, the world's extremely pure hearts and extremely indulgent hearts tangled together. Jack became the "Savior" in the minds of the Na'vi people as the Phantom Knight, and finally died like Jesus and was resurrected in the form of Avatar. The episode of his stay with Neville Princess Niteri also seems to be saying: understanding is the third part of love. If you understand people and things, you are likely to fall in love with this person and this thing.
Jack, who was killed by the earthlings, did not say like Jesus was dying, "Forgive them, they don't know anything", because he, who used to be the earthlings, understood and forgave the "sins" of the earthlings, and finally drove the earthlings out. Walking seems to be for them to remember the way. Director Cameron also told us in an interview not to indulge our self-confidence as a "spirit of all things", saying: "My film has a broad metaphor, but it is not political. I am In this way, we want to make people think about how to make our nature better. We live in a very powerful, gun-toting, high-tech era, and we also have brains. So, from time to time, we Inadvertently destroying the earth. But this is not desirable, I should find new ways to develop in harmony with nature, modern civilization technology is not bad, but we should control the momentum of this dependence on technology.”
