My family asked to go see this movie so I took them and saw it. I took Cameron at his word when he said he has had the idea for this movie for the last 15 years. Should have known better. The entire movie was one big Bush hit piece, with phrases like "shock and awe", "pre-emptive strike", "winning hearts and minds", "daisy cutter", "fighting terror", and many more peppered throughout. Dont take my word for it?

Let's see what Cameron had to say about it at the London opening:

From the Times Online:

Cameron said yesterday that the theme was not the main point of Avatar, but added that Americans had a “moral responsibility” to understand the impact that their country’s recent military campaigns had had.

“We went down a path that cost several hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. I don’t think the American people even know why it was done. So it’s all about opening your eyes.”

After the Na’vi homes collapse in flames the landscape is coated in ash and floating embers in scenes reminiscent of Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks.

Cameron, who was born in Canada, said yesterday that he had been “surprised at how much it did look like September 11. I didn’t think that was necessarily a bad thing”.

Referring to the “shock and awe” sequence, he said: “We know what it feels like to launch the missiles. We don’t know what it feels like for them to land on our home soil, not in America. I think there’s a moral responsibility to understand that.

Dude, this guy is sick. So before you continue attacking everyone who has a differing viewpoint of this piece of trash, how about doing a little research about the real meaning of this abomination. I wish I had, before handing over my hard earned dollars to this loon.

Man, I wasn’t even aware that Cameron said those words! He sounds exactly the way Lucas did when “Revenge of the Sith” came out back in ‘05. That line is old, easy to tell, and easy to sell because it gets said over and over...and over!
