Avatar

I saw Avatar when it first came out in 2009 and remember my dad commenting on how it touched on LDS ideologies. Rewatching it now I was able to better able to understand a few of those themes present in the film. The idea of an other world where we occupy perfect bodies is not a foreign idea to us. Jake Sully received a "perfected" body that took the form of his avatar so that he could have full control over his body. The idea of the earth being a spirit is not something that we focus on in the Church but I do think it is reminiscent of how the earth was created for us. Burton touches on deeper LDS ideas that are not easily noticed like the easier ideas mentioned. Like the idea of experiencing things on both sides of the veil. The avatar allows this to be plausible.
