"Avatar: The Way of Water": James Cameron flips the script. Here is how
"Avatar: The Way of Water", James Cameron’s epic drama, is on its way to becoming a blockbuster. The film's shock elements capture the audience's imagination, much along the lines of Spielberg's movies like Jaws and Jurassic Park, among others.

Man, the eternal exploiter of nature
The director Cameron is a protectionist at heart and has talked about the beauty of our oceans and the fragility of our ecosystems, which are mostly unprotected from human exploitation. However, in Avatar, the man is the villain, with nature as the hero.Pandora’s whale-like creatures (tulkuns) contain a substance in their brains that can delay human aging. As usual, a group of people gets into the business of killing tulkuns for substantial monetary gains. The focus shifts to the story of a lone Tulikun taking up the fight against the exploiters, joined by a few human friends.
