In regards t...This was indeed a visual masterpiece. In regards to Sully, I think his character also represented the "Wounded Healer" archetype. Through the suffering brought about by his paralysis he was able to transcend his suffering and gain wisdom and sympathy in the process. Therefore, he was able to identify with the plight of the Na'vi and was ultimately able to save them. <br /><br />The etymology of the name Pandora means "all-giving". She is akin to Gaia, the great earth goddess, but with the shift from a matriarchal to a patriarchal world view she devolved from life-giving to death-bringing. However, most people will recall Pandora's Box and not the earlier interpretation of the name so I'm not quite sure what Cameron had in mind when choosing that particular name. My guess is Cameron had the pre-patriarchal idea in mind. <br /><br />By the way, it's wonderful that you commented on the significance of Cameron's name. I never noticed that before!!! One can really have some fun looking at people's names in such a literal sense. Take, for example, Bernard Madoff, he "made off" with billions of dollars through investment fraud.<br /><br />P.S. Chanda Mama is very uplifting.
