Avatar: The Way of Water is an enormous success. Once again, James Cameron has demonstrated an ability to connect with audiences.
, or any of the Marvel films — many feature very simplistic plots: Boy teams up with a wizard to save a princess from bad guys; a shark terrorizes a small island community; a boy and girl from different classes fall in love on the doomed Titanic;
dinosaurs run loose on an island; Aliens attack Earth/Earth fights back; superheroes make jokes and fight [insert villain of the week]. There is a time and place for intricate storylines, but less is more when appealing to a general audience eager to kick back and have a good time. Still, you have to resonate on a deeper level with audiences. Visuals and spectacle alone will only carry a film part of the way; there has to be more, which brings us to …What Cameron does better than any other writer/director is create likable characters worth rooting for.
Cameron’s films have always featured not-so-subtle politics. However, they are politics most will agree on. Few would oppose a message about cleaning our oceans or saving whales — a safe, simple statement that doesn’t rock the boat in either direction. Cameron cobbles together a message everyone can get behind, which is refreshing in our current political landscape.
He also wags a finger at greedy Earthlings for trying to colonize Pandora but at least gives them a reason for their actions: Earth fell into decay long ago, you see? Humans need another place to pitch their tent, and Pandora has everything they need. Cue the struggle.
