I loved the plot in Avatar and found it wonderfully subversive.  The
story as one commentator put it is a retelling of the theft of America
by Europeans and of those who went "Native". I found the story a very
timely critism of our  destruction of nature for the wealth to be had
by the rape of the earth.  It is weird to me that this type of
storyline might come across as simplistic.  We are eating up our
planet at an alarming rate while many write off environmentalism and
the debate on global warming as a "Hoax" or fantasy by left wing
loonytunes.  It was only the night before wondering how far I would
have to throw a stone with my eyes closed at Walmart to hit a Palin
supporter.  Then I realized that these many of these folks would see
Avatar  and somehow internalize the message.  Well now that was a
partisan rant, Sorry.  I feel better already.  I found the movie
profoundly beautiful.  (but not a puppet show)
