Connection to a movie:
The reading section #3 of Siddhartha can be connected very well to the movie of Avatar. The main character was sort of a Siddhartha with how he made the biggest decisions which changed his life, and meeting up against someone that he used to know was very similar to the scene in the 3rd reading section.
The main character made the big decisions of helping the alien kind instead of serving his main purpose of collecting these crystals that were for wealth. He was indeed looking for money and success while serving at the planet, yet he made the choice to stop researching and fighting for the crystals; but helping the alien kind instead. The meeting with the superior when the main character was defending the alien kind was quite tragic, but not so related to the meeting of Siddhartha and Govinda. Even though the meetings between the two characters were in totally different scenes, the main point of the scene was the "reuniting" of the two characters rather than what they actually did. Only two scenes of the book can be compared to the movie itself, however the first scene was closely related in what they were trying to achieve.
Overall, the connections can be made between the book, Siddhartha and the movie, Avatar. The vivid scenes that were truly changing in points of where the book might go to, or where the movie might lead to are connected in understandable ways. The reason I chose Avatar to compare to the book wasn't because of the overall theme of the movie, but how the specific scenes of both were game changing.
