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.
