But the director himself said it was based on capitalism as well D: Cameron said somewhere how capitalism was the source of imperialism… which was why we had imperialism…
.. lulz.
Anyway, I didn’t think too deeply in the plot because it’s a movie for crying out loud. The message is clear, yes, humans be greedy, and we should coexist with nature, and not let greed get the best of us, but as ze critics say, Cameron himself could not ave made zis movie without ze bloody capitalism and imperialism zat allowed zis technology to exist. If we lived like the natives, we would not even be close to what the technology is today. Which is why the Na’Vi are fighting with bows. And Arrows. Against hovering gunships.
:O
I mean, in the end, it’s an Utopian message, it doesn’t matter if it’s cliche or not, it’s a message, interpret it your own way. Cameron made a medley of a movie by combining the good aspects of certain genres, and you imagine the characters. He doesn’t force you to follow his characters. AMIRITE?
So, go see it if you haven’t, ’cause it is a good movie, the plot is weak no matter how you look at it, but that’s the point, you’re supposed to bridge those gaps and fill in the holes. Not all movies are supposed to dictate everything for you, you have to be a part of it. And zat is why zis movie deserves a globe or whatever award they give for movies dang it!
