>>I was rooting for the humans.
Hated to see them lose.<<
In the reality of this movie, the humans needed to lose.
I compare the world in this movie a bit to some of the worlds in the somewhat Christian novel, A Wrinkle in Time.
If a world such as the one in Avatar actually existed, we would do best to leave the people be. In this movie, we were the equivalent of the aliens in Independence day.
But again, it is only fantasy. Nothing in our reality relates to this movie. There is a huge difference between a culture that worships their mother nature that they physically plug into and a culture that worships a mother nature that is a figment of their imagination.
One is doing the right thing, the other is woefully ignorant. This movie was about the former.
Spot-on, Rob.
This was an alien world that RELIES on the synergy between all forms of life—the trees, the animals, the people and their spirituality. It’s the lack of even attempting to understand this was the humans’ downfall.
It’s different here on Earth. Liberals’ attempts to make it so are THEIR downfall.
