Avatar: The Way of Water sets its path
in the cinematographic arena with scenic portrayals of majestic nature,
picturesque places lived in and gone through by various characters of this

various origins. This movie or film caricatures several themes in its rich
embodiment; these are namely: family ties, strong family bonding and virtues,
family unity, protection of one’s cherished habitat and family members, and the
sincerest commitment to maintain the cause of a specie that is filled with
harmonious upbringing.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) is a
continuum of the first Avatar feature from the year 2009.
While keeping proper balance to his capabilities in the world of film-making, and while maintaining his stylish direction abilities at full progressive allure, James Cameron expands on the theme he brought upon in Avatar (2009). This time he expands on its content and message by delivering an above and beyond movie which holds its significances in many terms, namely with the idea of family unity at its centerpiece.
The story of Avatar: The
Way of Water is one segment of life journey of the main character
(protagonist), Jake Sully. This time, he is accompanied by his wife, Neytiri,
his sons, Neteyam and Lo’ak, daughter, Tuk, and adopted daughter, Kiri.
Jake and his family are living a peaceful life while enjoying nature’s
gifts on the planet Pandora. His earlier and past life journey revisits him
when Colonel Miles Quaritch and his troops land on Pandora to search for him.
This search for Jake Sully, an obsession of Colonel Quaritch’s leads to several
destructive events that are being conveyed in Avatar: The Way of Water.
This movie’s highlighting contents are to convey how Jake’s life along with
that of his family members’ are disrupted in a violently unpleasant way. This movie
even marks the many sequel of events that show how Jake and each of his family
members utilize their survival instincts to live up to a cause which they hold
as righteous and important.
When Colonel Quaritch and his team of troops successfully destroy Jake’s
and his whole entire Na’vi people’s inland habitat, these latter search for an
alternative location to find themselves safely secured for living and residing on a permanent basis. In so
seeking, they pledge a request for shelter, protection and place to dwell from Tonowari (role played by Cliff Curtis), the King of the Waterworld. After
thorough considerations and after having to go through a consumed decisive
point, Tonowari accepts to host the Na’vi people. This is being done on grounds
of pure good faiths and sympathy for these known peaceful creatures.
Knowing that his target has not been annihilated and that he is
consciously aware of Jake Sully’s being still alive, Colonel Quaritch carries
on with his search and eventually tracks the Waterworld people to convincingly
comb through these people’s habitat and partially destroy it. Jake Sully’s
peaceful self is struck by an unprecedented moral attribute that leads him to
fight back and show an act of forceful defense against Colonel Quaritch’s
troops.
Avatar: The Way of Water is thus the
journey related to this fight for survival against Colonel Quaritch on the part
of the Na’vi people and that of the Waterworld people of planet Pandora.
James Cameron is exceptionally wonderful in the direction role of Avatar: The Way of Water. He makes such magnificent usages of technology. His own masterminded self to equip Avatar: The Way of Water with a strict mark in the cinematographic legend profile, would categorize his directory worth of being truly outstanding and above beyond the norms of directors. Avatar: The Way of Water is one of the movies that are must-sees.
