In an exclusive interview with rant screen, Flatters explained how Neteyam and his siblings were affected by being refugees. He discusses how this shift can lead to inner turmoil and raises questions about a person’s identity. He also hinted at how they might be accepted in this new Na’vi clan.
Jamie Flatters: It’s extreme when you’re uprooted and everything’s up in the air. Especially as a teenager, it gives you great confusion and you don’t know how to recognize it. Because I feel like a lot of people are growing up and trying to shape their mindset in the world, a lot of their underlying identity lies within the community. Only when Neteyam and young people got along with Metkayina did they feel at home. I think that’s a very interesting message that the film exposes.
Avatar: The Way of Water’s message is deeper than many realize
Avatar: The Road of Water Introducing Neytiri and Jake Sully’s Children: Neteyam (flatters) their eldest son, Kiri, their adopted teenage daughter who has an interesting relationship with Dr. Grace Augustine and Eywa; Lo’ak (Dalton, UK), their second son; and their youngest child, Tuktirey “Tuk” (Trinity Jo-Li Bliss). Sully’s children grew up in the Omaticaya clan led by their parents, but when the RDA returns and targets Jake and Neytiri, their entire world is turned upside down. When they are forced to seek refuge with another Na’vi people, the Metkayina, they must adjust from a world where they are the children of a chief to a world where they are outsiders, refugees.
Identity is another central idea of the film, with Sully’s children struggling to find their place in their new tribe, Neytiri grappling with the loss of her legacy and homeland, and Avatar Na’vi Recombinants tell the story of the embodiment of Na’vi Human Stories. Questions of identity are a very common tragic story when a person loses their homeland, heritage and culture. Avatar: The Road of Water An opportunity to better understand how this affects everyone at Sullys, some of whom may lose their old identities while others thrive in the new environment.
Many people need to leave their homes for their own safety, often because of war, which gives a real story element and is reminiscent of the very alien world of Pandora. Neytiri and Jake in the center Avatar When they fell in love, but now Neytiri and Jake Sully’s story focuses on the difficulties of parenthood, especially when their children are at risk. Sully’s story about the challenges of being a refugee is an interesting and moving setting, especially in Avatar: The Road of Water.
