Biotechnology

In the movie clip “Avatar” there is a group of people that go to a land to do research on a rock that is worth 20 million a kilo but there is a problem. Where the rock is most abundant there are a group of indigenous people who are called “Nambe.” They are threatening the people from getting the rocks and they are on the brink of war if the Nambe people do not relocate. These savages are very hard to kill because their DNA is mixed between the native people and human DNA. So in order to stop them they are making an Avatar similar to the Nambe people. They are going to use the Avatar as a spy to see what is inside the village. The Nambe people will think that the Avatar is one of them and the Avatar will gain the Nambe peoples trust. But what happens if the Nambe people realize that he is not one of them? My personal response to this work is that it was a very smart idea to create a person that is similar to the Nambe people; he can learn what the Nambe people do and maybe get the rocks that they are looking for and bring them back to his people. But wouldn’t this create war if the Nambe people find out that the Avatar isn’t one of them? The people said that they can’t kill the Nambe people by themselves because they are too strong, and they are trying to stay out of war.

The purpose of the movie “Avatar” is for us humans to realize that we are very lucky to be humane and we can do the things that we want to do. We are lucky to be able to be humane and be able to feel pain, loneliness and all of the other emotions. The Nambe people were indestructible and they were like robots, they did not feel anything and could not break, they only had one state of mind. We as humans have everything and we are lucky to be able to have that. The Nambe people were indigenous and were forced to create their own lifestyle in the jungle and then they were invaded by this group of people, their homeland was destroyed and they were on the brink of disaster. We as humans are lucky enough so that we never will have to worry about such a thing happening to us like what happened to the Nambe people. The techniques used to achieve this purpose were the Avatars that the humans made in order for them to look like the Nambe people. There were also the blue colors of the Nambe people to show how different and indigenous that they were and there were sound affects and there was a key shift when the Avatar told the Nambe that he needs her help, you wouldn’t expect this to happen, this added to the action filled clip and raised many questions.

In the movie “Avatar” the Nambe people are not humans, they are indestructible like robots and they are a blue color and they show no emotions which is the total opposite of humans. The Nambe people have a whole different meaning of the word “human.” They believe in fighting and in wars while the humans in the Avatar movie just wanted to get rich by getting the rocks. The Nambe people would not leave their homeland and so violence took place.

Our depictions of the present reveal that the future is going to be much crazier than what we may think. Who would be thinking that their kid be a new kind of species, similar to that of the Nambe people? Imagine if there was a similar species? They would rule the Earth because the humans would not know how to deal with them or control them. They would spread around the globe, each time they would get stronger and stronger as more of them form, and they would rule everything and be the premier power. In the movie “Avatar” they used the language and the images of the Nambe people and their indigenous lifestyle to manipulate our minds and make us believe that there could be a life of people like the Nambe people.
