Avatar Trailer

Avatar, a film that has been 12 years in the making since director James Cameron’s last opus, Titanic, stars Hollywood heart-throb Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, a paraplegic former Marine. Jake is recruited to travel to a fantasy world called Pandora in order to save Earth’s energy crisis. But he has to do this by becoming an “avatar”, a computer-generated blue species that can walk, run, jump, swim, climb; all things Jake can’t otherwise do. He has to save the world, in order to do this he simply cannot be disabled.

the number of film starring character with a disability has shown that Hollywood is ready to tackle the issues but the roles still being wrongly cast and stereotyped. Disability in some movies are suppose to be sympathetic and other are to show or explain what might have caused this, e.g slumdog millionaire where they show a blind man, the condition might have caused and they show what is like to be that person, who is shown begging sensitive g in an underpass. the short scene is to explain a cultural practice in certain parts of India and is done in a respectful, way so no one will get hurt.
