记得这部电影上映之时，我们几个人兴致勃勃地去了星美电影院，这是看的第一部3D电影，也是很开阔眼界、发人深省的一部电影。人类总以为自己是世界上最高级最聪明的动物，凭借先进技术，为了自己私利，不顾践踏和摧毁别人家园。人类的自以为是，最终为自己带来了恶果。世界尚有许多事物在我们的认识能力之外，对于未知的事物，我们该保持敬畏的态度，可以去了解、学习、沟通，但不能试图破坏、占有。
电影充满着一种尊重自然的哲学，在奇幻和和谐的潘多拉星球上，万物皆有灵，万物之间皆有联系。杀死恶兽时轻抚并为之祈祷；Neytiri举箭准备射向时，圣树的种子降临，女神爱娃给予启示；通过意念，用心感受，就能与灵物心灵相通；庄严的成人仪式上，所有族人把手搭在一起，形成一个巨大的网；Utraya Mokri是“the tree of voices”，是纳威族祖先的声音，把头发与树枝连接，就能向其诉说愿望；地球人轰炸了纳威人的家园后，族人聚在一起吟诵祈祷；在巨大的悲痛之时，所有族人围着生命树祈祷爱娃帮助。在最后的抗争中，星球上的所有生灵都前来帮忙，共同抗敌…所有这些都像一场盛大的宗教仪式，带着一种虔诚和崇敬的态度。
卡梅隆始终是一个令人肃然起敬的导演。虽然是商业片，他总是用非常严肃的态度对待电影。《阿凡达》的制作历经14年，据说卡梅隆是在“等待技术成熟”。从《泰坦尼克号》到《阿凡达》，几乎每一部他的电影都代表着电影技术的一次进步。如他所言，想象力是一种可以真正改变现实的力量，创作出来剧本之后，再去创造所需的新技术，他乐于这样的挑战。据说，在《阿凡达》里，卡梅隆请来了植物学家、天体物理学家、音乐教授和考古专家分别设计了片中潘多拉星球的植物、大气密度以及一种三声阶的异族音乐。请各个领域的专家进入电影创作过程，这种严谨的创作态度本身已经让人佩服。
曾看过卡梅隆在TED的一个演讲，讲到他从小是个科幻迷，在数学课本上涂画各种外星生物、太空飞船等。他热爱冒险和潜水，在多次深海探索和潜水经历中，看见令人惊奇的生物和景象。他热爱太空科学，并与NASA合作，参与美国太空总署顾问委员会，规划真正的太空任务，参与宇航员训练等。“好奇心是你拥有的最强大的事物，发现新事物，勇于冒险。”这也是为什么卡梅隆的每部电影都有创新和划时代的意义吧。”

I try to understand the deep connection between the people have to the forest. She talks about a network of energy that flows through all living things. She says all energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back.
Now you choose your Ikran. You must feel inside.
Toruk Macto was mighty, he brought theclans together in a time of great sorrow.
Everything is backwards now. like out there is the true world and in here is the dream. It’s hard to believe it’s only been three months. I can barely remember my old life. I don’t know who I am anymore.

This is a place for prayers to be heard. And sometimes answered.
I was a warrior who dreamed he could bring peace. Sooner or later, though, you have to wake up.
The People say Eywa will provide. With no home, no hope. There was only one place they could go.
Outcaster, betrayer,alien. I was in the place the eye does not see.
Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.
The sky people have sent us a message, that they can whatever they want. And no one can stop them. And we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. You tell them Toruk Macto calls to them. And you fly with me. We will show the Sky people that they cannot take whatever they want. And this is our land!
