영어로 작성된 에세이 입니다. 영화 아바타에서 드러나는 제국주의, 식민주의적 모습에 대한 고찰과 그것을 통해 무엇을 전달하고자 했는지 살펴보는 에세이 이며 교수님께 칭찬을 많이 받은 에세이 입니다. 아바타 영화 분석 과제나 제국주의, 식민주의를 발표해야 하는 분들이 보시면 좋을 것 같습니다.

본문내용
In 2009, a huge 3D blockbuster movie marveled the whole world. James Cameron’s Avatar is an adventure story of an ex-marine. He is sent to a distant planet called Pandora where blue-skinned Navis. There he is given a mission to persuade the Navis to leave their homeland for humans to mine the natural resource called Unoptanum. For carrying out this task, human beings on Pandora developed an Avatar which looks exactly like the Navis. The situation of the movie is like this and it is popular for not only its plot but also for its use of cutting edge visual effects including 3D graphics. It appealed a huge number of moviegoers around the world. However, there is another significant aspect that many people might overlook. It is the hidden colonialism in the story.
