There is a great conflict at work: The Way of Water, and it’s not that human beings and the blue alien cat-people called Navi, nor that detest the world’s large-flare eradication of the humanity who wants to communicate with the planet Pandora and those who want to tear it apart to exploit its resources. The two battles are important parties of the story. Both father and son are involved, and also the different modes of life of the Navi clans. People are enslaved as they try to navigate between their immediate desires and the future’s best-for-kind nature.
But there’s a conflict that ties all those threads thematically and conceptually together. As far as most of them, the story is as abstract as the obvious battles that can be seen with words and guns. But it happens in a number of ways through the three-plus-hour story. It was not yet emphasized at the end of the film, when directors James Cameron and his co-writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver bring it into the forefront. What really ties the film with the storylines is the tension between respecting the past and letting go.

The first one to evoke this idea was central to the story. Eventually, the human marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) was left with a wounded man, but he didn’t return to his body, temporarily. He is turned into a avatar form, a Navi body created with Tom’s twin brother DNA. In a moment when Tom dies, she must tell his brother goodbye. Jake is connected to the local Navi and finds peace and happiness on the planet Pandora, but in reality, he questions his loyalty and allows him to keep his sense of duty from the planet and the workers and decry his military service and human connections to become a full Pandoran. His conscience about what he is doing to Pandora takes on the stage. But it seems obvious that his decision to let go of the past and embrace his future as Navi eventually feels fulfilled and final.
The water system makes the relationship between old and future much easier. First there is Jake, who was hunted by his former employers who were obsessed with killing him putting his Navi companion Neytiri at risk and his children and those who protect them. The movie has left Jake willingly left his humanity behind. But, in the next movie, it will haunt him because of his past and the way it haunts him. But more than any character in this story is confident in his connection to the past he’s convinced that he’s trying to escape from it. This connection between his personal life and his Navi life arises in more subtle ways. One example of what is going on in his family like a small military unit under his command and whose hand he gives them orders and is expecting his children to Sir, and the enlightening for their education on morals and protocols, to the point where a relative finally complains that they are not his family, not his squad.
The theme is much more clearly expressed with the subject of his direct foe, Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang), a cloned version of Neytiri, who was killed in the first avatar. Original Quaritch gruffly informs his clone offspring using his recorded video message. The surviving man is Clone Quaritch, who has its personality and almost all of his memories, clearly struggles with the idea in the whole story. He is stunned by the remains of his original human body and obsessed with revenge. He crushes his old self’s skull in a flashy public statement for his own squad, making them seem like his former body is attached, but spends the whole film on behalf of the original Quaritchs son, Spider-threatened champion.
The connection between Clone Quaritch and Spider is the most visible expression of past versus future themes The way of water. Spider is a human child who wants to be Navi so badly that he paints his body with Navi stripes and hisses like a wet cat when he is angry or angry at himself when he insists that he has no connection with Clone Quaritch. And clone fathers should not beholden to their son and pretend they aren’t. But their partners are at war with each other over their ties and refuse to fight their better judgment and sell their own future for their own security and goodwill. Neither of them can fully let go of the past they never had together or the connection between them.
The theme and ideas are varied and varied. When Neytiri learns she has to abandon her people to protect her children, she irritates and speaks about the impossibility of abandoning her traditions and extended family so that she can begin a new life elsewhere. Her adopted daughter Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) is mysterious, and spends the movie teningling off the claims of her mother’s life and pondering it in private. After the past is catching on to Kiri and already he communicates with him. Loak (Britain Dalton), Jake and Neytiris troubled son, is so burdened by the way he feels he has failed Jake, that he can refuse to take care of it and take care of his own life, and as a model boy gives up what he thinks Jake wants to. But these supposed mistakes gnaw at him until he doesn’t move in his own direction, he doesn’t get anything but backwards.
And when Loak finds a new partner to enjoy, tykun, a sane Pandora whale and was alone with his past and unable to see his future. The Tulkun, Payakan, is an exile from his people whose evil motive has left him guilty and lonely. The Navis perception of him is so clear that they cannot understand who he is. Only what they think of him is that the story tells them about him. Payakan is spoiled by the time he made out his plans. The Navi can’t let it go, so they let it ruin his future.
Making up with conflict and being faced with isn’t the most common theme for any story that contains complex characters and characters. It’s a very real idea since the author and its captain should navigate our own story while trying to find a way to get there. But it is especially notable in the sense that many of these characters are in denial about who they were, who they are, or what they want. And so many people penned the movie from the beginning: making decisions and actions, and then either doubting it, or backing down, or just still taking the time out to make choice. Clone Quaritch is the most visible face of this theme. With his constant constant Im not really your father, unless I am, unless I don’t care unless I don’t do it. Spider is close second, reflecting his fathers internal debate.

All the way of the waters characters fight the same internal battle, and it seems to be a particularly appropriate top-level theme for a film that’s explicitly about moving from the past to the future, and turning from a closed or open-ended story to an open-ended story. It is quite clear that the Avatar films follow the footsteps of a lot of other films, bringing history from the original generation to the younger generation. This idea has been a cultural obsession for much longer-form American storytelling for more than a decade. From the Marvels to the original Ghostbusters to the third Star Wars trilogy, the old ones are in the new world of origin. As with the plans to buy three avatars and possibly one of those two-and-one avatars, the amount of money in the box office seems to be expanding exponentially, and the fact that they are stepping down and letting their children run the show shows. (What Spider works in that works is whether hell morphs into the shows Kylo Ren by aping the villain or by trying to turn his father into the light side of the Force, like Luke Skywalker).
That’s enough for the moment The way of the water emphasized the need to accept change, either because it means letting go of the past or embracing them and finding a way forward which respects them. The movie doesn’t have any clear message, that asks people to abandon their personal story or to embrace it with fullness. Different characters progress in different ways, depending on what they wish to keep on with a most of the best to be complete. That means that it’s okay for many to accept difficult family ties. For some people, that means letting them go.
And in the final scenes, the men let go of people they loved but found a sort of temporary peace with their grief, oblong with the idea of connecting all the main characters. When Jake voiced the interview, he’d talk about how Eywa, the ghost of Pandora, remembers all of her kids and is really lost. There are a funeral and a ceremony where the bodies of the deceased are returned to Pandora.
But while it’s sad and solemn, the authors set out the message that the present is always there as long as we do remember who we loved. Jake captures Eywas memories reliving and finds solace in a sense of the dead. He can’t escape what happened, but he must take care of things in order to be mindful. And while avatar 3 will surely return to him by trying to leave his past behind and Quaritch tries to keep him from going to death, they all took steps to resolve their inner struggles to get through. Characters in avatar 2. Choose different messages from their story and struggle with them differently with a different level of success. But every single one tries to advance and that is a new focus for the film more than the other one on screen.
