Jake's Role In The Movie Avatar
I chose to watch the movie Avatar, because it always seemed like an interesting movie to me that I’ve only seen bits and pieces of, so it was nice to actually watch the whole thing. I’m going to talk about Jake Sully who is played by Sam Worthington, is the hero in the movie. When Jake’s brother is killed in a robbery, he decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora (IMDb). He was able to do this because of the similar features and DNA, being that they are twins. Although Jake is a paraplegic due to a mission when he was serving as a marine, he was still able to complete the mission. I personally think he was great help to the project.
Another important role in the movie was Neytiri, which was played by Zoe Saldana. Neytiri is a navi (alien) that lives on Pandora. She first met Jake when She saved his life when he was being attacked by a pack of viperwolves. After Jake and Neytiri met, she begins to fall in love with him, and eventually Jake joins the Na'vi to help Neytiri and the others save their tribe/village (IMDb). Neytiri is a strong and inspirational woman that isn’t afraid to stand up and take charge when needed.

Grace Augustine played by Sigourney Weaver is a scientist stationed on Pandora that at first seems to have some rough edges but later on through the movie you begin to get to know her and realize how nice of a lady she is. Grace is very passionate about her work. She is in charge of a program which places human 'pilots' in control of Avatars, which are artificially grown bodies generated with both navi and human DNA (IMDb). She tries to seek wealthiness in Pandora from plant instead of mineral, which can be located at the bottom of the home tree. As you can see in the movie she likes plants more than human, which is why she is so good at what she

    In person, Jake appeared to be just one of the guys. Nothing fancy about himself, very humble and charismatic. After listening to Jake speak briefly about his life, family and his pursuit of his innate being, you can tell he’s sincere and dedicated to his craft and family. Jake was also instrumental in terms of being relative due to his Western New York origins. He can relate to Buffalonians and our struggle as a city in a financial crisis, where one side of the city’s future is in question while another side of the city’s future looks lucrative.…

    After the death, reporters rushed to hear words from his family and die-hard fans. One reporter gathered from Jake's mother, "Jake was truly an inspiration to all of us and he will be very missed." "Jake inspired me to be an actor," Jake's brother said sobbing, "and look at me now; I'm worth millions but now I feel like shit." "Jake was the type that motivated his fans and inspired them to live to the fullest,” Jake's manager reported. "He transformed negative people into positive people instantly. Many people don't know, but Jake was also a motivational speaker who wanted to inspire everyone to be happy. And this inspirational speaking was done free for schools and venues around the world. If only his speeches were as much known as his movies, then fans would really know how great of a guy he actually was," Jake’s manager stated. "Jake inspired me on and off the set to just feel better about myself and live fuller," Jake's girlfriend stated.…

    In the beginning, Jake appears to be totally disconnected and alienated from the natural environment. He can't relax because he is afraid of it and views it as something dangerous that needs to be tamed by humans. When he starts living with the Na'vi and is taught their ways, he has difficulty assimilating. As Neytiri points out in their first encounter, Jake's alienation from nature makes him "ignorant like a child" (Avatar) and unable to appreciate and live in the natural environment. However, he slowly changes and finally becomes part of nature's network. The change starts from the outside and slowly moves to the inside. He first changes on the surface, that is a change of the body, but soon Jake feels an internal confusion. He is not sure in which world he belongs and who he really is. He admits that he can barely remember his old life and that the Na'vi's world seems more authentic. He finally realizes the energy that exists in nature and learns to appreciate every living organism. He admits that he has fallen in love with the forest and with the Na'vi's way of living. He even reaches to the point of fighting against humans to protect Pandora's natural environment and the Na'vi's way of life. Jake is transformed from a contemporary individual…

    Jake controls how well he behaves, using image as a grand part of his motivation. First, the author portrays Jake's worries towards the bumpers of the car before thinking of the other people involved in the accident. After finding out that there is not an 'impressionable' scratch,"he perks up". Then, while talking to Mariana, "he straightened out his less than new but not "unhip" clothes," while he is attempting to straighten out the mess with the car accident. This description of imagery on himself depicts his lack of respect for others and conceit when it came to what is more important according to him.…

    Jake resents the fact that he is so isolated but doesn't want to take the initiative to change his lifestyle. He resents how neglectful he has been of his daughter, Bernice, and resentful that he has never been able to live up to his father's expectations as a child. When Jake brings Bernice along to finally meet her grandfather, she is effortlessly accepted by him. Jake has always tried so hard to be accepted by his father, but all of his attempts had either gone unnoticed like how "the old man hadn't been around when [he was awarded with a] certificate [in Red Cross life-saving]", or when they had failed. He "[has] always resented that about [his father]; his attitude [towards his frailness]". His father had been somewhat understanding, so he showed it through his polite smiles. The emptiness of those smiles had hurt Jake through the years, stripping…
