The moment I saw the part in Avatar (James Cameron-2009) where it transfers spirit from one body to another (it comes in the climax) .. i see a connection between the ritual in Avatar and Monkey chant shown in Baraka.

Am i the only one believing this ?

Vivek

That's interesting. I didn't

That's interesting.
I didn't make that connection.
I think the money chant is about story telling, and not necessarily about transferring a spirit from one body to another.

Baraka in Pandora...

...totally right! And the thing is, I saw Baraka right after I've seen Avatar. Just a coincidence, but I recognized the scene the minute I saw it.

It is so similar they must have been inspired by it. The original script of Avatar is from the early nineties, and so is Baraka... Or maybe it's just one of those ideas that u "pick" on air?

You are not the only one. I

You are not the only one. I am so late on watching Baracka but I just looked at it and I soon as I saw the men doing it I instantly thought of Avatar. Yet another testament why Avatar is a film to be looked at more deeply.
