    National Geographic recently spoke with Cameron from New Zealand about the science and technology of The Way of Water. What inspired these creatures, and how did Cameron and his team bring them to life? Read the article to find out: on.natgeo.com/3VWciu5

      Menceritakan suku bajo , sama ada tradisi berburu paus di scene pas jake sama suku laut berburu paus,itukan tradisi di halmahera,,sedangkan cerita avatar aja menceritakan invasi orang western melakukan kolonialisme dlu, yg awalnya niat hanya berdagang trus malah melakukan kolonialism dan exploitasi pengambilan SDA di negri2 seluruh dunia,di avatar 1 menceritakan kek kolonialism western terhadap afrika dan indian amerika dan asean, sedangakan kita orang indonesia jaman dlu jg masih mengkeramatkan pohon2 yg di anggap sakral dan suci,
