James Horner's Avatar Theme Remarkably Reminiscent Of Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On".
The scores of both Avatar and Titanic reveal one of the most unusual parallels between Cameron's films. For good reason, James Horner's epic Titanic score is well-known; Celine Dion's performance of his hallmark theme song, "My Heart Will Go On," is still an all-time masterwork of pop music. Given this, it's not particularly shocking that both Avatar's scores—also written by Horner—also draw on "My Heart Will Go On." Using the same frequency and like time, part of Avatar's score incorporates the notes of the song "near... far..." portion.
Given that Jurassic Park provided Avatar's sound effects, it makes logical that Cameron's blockbuster also paid respect to Horner's past work. After almost flawless replication of "near... far," Avatar's score generally follows Titanic's theme song with a similar descending phrase, hence the comparison between the two works of music is inevitable. Horner had a hand in both pieces of music, hence the similarities make logical in thematic terms even though otherwise. As said above, Cameron's films are more like each other than they first seem, and both Avatar films have love stories reflecting aspects of Titanic's famous fatal affair.
Titanic-Esque Score for Avatar Works for Both Movies
The plot of Titanic centers on Jack and Rose's love tale as the couple falls in love on the eponymous ship despite their disparate socioeconomic levels. Likewise, although Neytiri is a Na'vi and he is a human, Avatar sees Jake fall for her; Tsireya of Avatar: The Way of Water falls in love with Jake's son Lo'ak in the sequel despite their distinct clans. The piece of music fits both love stories and the Titanic score since the motifs of the Avatar movie and "My Heart With Go On" share a profoundly emotional, romantic, ethereal development.

James Cameron repeated one iconic Titanic moment in both Avatar movies.
Unbelievably as it sounds, James Cameron's Avatar films took a strange bit from his earlier hit Titanic. Though James Cameron's films vary greatly in terms of subject, tone, and concept, there are a few repeating ideas that run across his work. Though they seem quite different, The Terminator and Titanic challenge viewers to consider whether ethical limits should apply to the results of human scientific advancements. Likewise, despite their variations, the third act of Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water both involve long, intense action scenes when the heroes try to flee a sinking ship.
It should not be too shocking however to see that the Avatar films also take ideas from past Cameron productions. Though the finale of the original film has turned Ripley's Aliens confrontation on its head with Quaritch and Neytiri's last struggle, with the human in the mech suit as the villain and the alien mother acting as the heroine, this connection may come up again in the forthcoming Avatar movies. Likewise, while with the aliens presented as heroes this time around, much of The Way of Water's Tulkun hunt plotline reflected Aliens. One element of Cameron's 1997 film, though, jumped into the Avatar series.
James Cameron's 5-Movie Saga's Middle Chapter will be Avatar 3, but what does the Third Avatar Movie Have In Store for Na'vi and Pandora?
Though many of the spectators and critics have appreciated the past two Avatar movies for their visuals and action, the next movie is projected to be a crucial component of the whole franchise's plot. The next chapter in the Avatar universe is predicted to include numerous more turns, with a wonderful ensemble and a narrative that is probably going to captivate viewers. Observing how the story unfolds will be thrilling.
Avatar 3 is the following series addition, hence its scope is rather likely to be rather large. The film most likely to be shown as a big event. The inventiveness of the creators should produce a fantastic plot that improves the franchise.
