Abstract

Avatar is a classic old work often discussed from the perspectives of ecological ethics, ecological crisis, environmental pollution and anti-war, etc. Many researchers have paid special attention to the concept of anthropocentrism and the overall concept of ecology in this work. In this paper, the author analyzed the interstellar ethics contained in this movie by comparing Earth with Pandora, Earth people and Na'vi people and through the transformation of the hero's ethical values. Pandora is a utopian spiritual paradise. “Ethics” should not be confined to human society, but should also be extended to non-human creatures and other creatures on other planets, because harmonious coexistence and mutual care are the fundamental means to overcome the harm of anthropocentrism to Earth.
