This scene is very emotional and the actors are great! When watching this, at first I was surprised some of them got tears in their eyes, but the scene is so touching that by the end I got teary eyes myself... 🥺

This is one of my favorite scenes and it’s even better without all the magic of the cgi. As amazing as our main cast did I’m also amazed at just how great the acting of the extras and background Na’vi characters. I find myself watching it a couple times over just to spot and follow those characters. Enjoying watching all these clips after seeing Way of Water, going back to the original movie and what started this decade long obsession.
i always wanted to ask that is the Navi language indeed a real world language just been "borrowed" on Pandora, or was it entirely invented by James and his crew?
Yep. Completely original. I think that there were inspirations from a few different existing languages, but he hired a linguist to help him create it. Can’t remember the guy’s name but there are videos of him holding fan seminars on how to speak it, essentially teaching the basics and stuff.
