Eywa heard you, even though she has never taken sides before, White Man.

One scene that we have not talked about in class that I would like to mention is the scene that comes to be because Jake Sulley prayed to Eywa for help. While praying, Neytiri approaches Jake and tells him how Eywa does not take sides. She explains to Jake that Eywa is there to preserve and balance life. Neytiri truly has no hope that Eywa would change her ways in order to ensure the safety and survival of her people. Jake, the "White Messiah," think different otherwise he would not have been praying to Eywa in the first place.

Later on in the movie when it seems like all hope is lost for the Na'vi, a heard of Hammerheadtitanothere comes out of nowhere and without any Na'vi leader. It seems the creatures are acting on their own accord, or rather they are being lead with the hand of Eywa. Neytiri realizes what is happening and shouts of joy come from her lips, "Eywa has heard you!" Her disbelief is clear in not only her voice, but also her body and face. The way she stands and holds her arrow lets the audience know she is not backing down from this fight. The scene causes you to feel hope like never before. Neytiri shouts resound within us if we are completely lost within the world of Pandora. 

This scene combined with the knowledge of the previous scene that I described, choreographs your emotions to feel exactly what Neytiri is feeling, despair and then pride and hope beyond anything you have felt before. Not only do the angles of the video play a huge part in contributing to the "dance" of feelings but also the audio in the background. Much of the audience, I'm assuming, has scene countless movies, our body knows how to be a "part" of a movie. When the lights go off and the screen graces us with that first beam of light, we become a part of whatever reality is created on the big squarish box in the corner. We give our emotions up to the creators of this reality, we allow them to twist and turn our emotions with music, colors, words; every detail is important. We are able to feel the same feelings as Neytiri and Jake because we feel, as Jake feels, that we have become one of the Na'vi. The Na'vi are our people too now and we want them to win this war more than anything. The bridges we make by seeing ourselves in this reality only build the relationship stronger, just as if we were plugging our own, in Robin's words, "USB cord" into Pandora hearing and feeling our history. 

I found these scenes to also play along with the "White Messiah." Neytiri told Jake that it was almost rude to be asking Eywa for such help, but oh looky there! Eywa answers the unaskable because it was asked of by Jake.
