Reflection on the movie “Avatar”

         Love conquers all. No matter how hard and how long it may be, it will attain its final destiny in the end – an ideal destiny.

        In the movie “”Avatar”, I find it interesting. It represents love in different aspects of human nature. Love of culture, love of nature, love to opposite sex, love to the Divine and even love for oneself, which leads to selfishness are sources and significant events that made the movie very thrilling and exciting. It depicts of how human person or considered as sky people in the movie reacted and motivated if immoral motives of certain creature (living creature) in existence. It appears in the movie the story line of how unjustly oppressed nature and other living beings, with their vested interest, they tried to degrade and destruct environment just only for material wealth. But nature herself did not let the bad motives and evil ones to conquer their world. So in response, they synergized, fight for their life without ceasing against the oppressor and offered their lives for the future of their world.

        Another concept of the movie that really struck my senses to react was the concept of body and soul. It is not a mundane scenario for it reflects a peculiar event that may happen to human. It depicts the dualism of body and soul. They are different entity or reality. The body is the prime matter and the soul is the substantial form. Both of them has an essence and in existence.

        In the movie, it seems that the body can be controlled. With the use of a medium or a machine, the transformation or transfer of one soul to another object is possible. When the soul is out of the original body, it implies that the consciousness disappears and goes to another object. It relates that the soul is the consciousness. The body without soul is like in the serenity of sleep. It seems that the body is an object of reality while the soul is the primary agent or doer of it. It is unfathomable to get in full grasp the real existence of soul. Even the way we think, decide or do something will greatly connect to our soul. Our consciousness, desires, interests and fears will the same. There were many philosophers and virtuous individual who tried to transcend man’s perspective of soul but it seems to be eternal and difficult to understand. The focal point worthy to ponder is how we live our life morally with the guidance of our beliefs of soul.
