Kirby,
Avatar was every thing you stated and more. Along with the ooze of the anti America, anti corporate propaganda was a strong religious message namely the worship of gaia, “mother earth”. The natives communed with this deity through rocks and trees. The earthling invaders had killed their earth goddess on their planet through their capitalist environmental abuse. Over all I found the movie offensive to the extreme.
It is amazing to me that these America haters think that a country that holds personal rights and freedom in high esteem would trample the rights of an other country or world with such reckless abandon. They need to pull their heads out of the hole they have it in and look at the real world around them, i.e. China in Africa Russia against their own people… There are rules in nature that are uncompromisable. One of these is that in a collectivist society the individual is always expendable for the sake of the collective.

Avatar = Fern Gully on steroids. That was the phrase I coined, after reading the reviews and comments from many of my students. I, too, was surprised to see the Hurt Locker winning so many Oscars.

Anyone wonder if their political differences caused the marriage split between Cameron and Bigelow? I mean, not to be mean, BUT, did you see Cameron’s present wife? She looks like a very nice person but given that it’s Hollywood, she looks like she could be the mother of both Kathryn and James. Looks like James Cameron lost all the way around.

Having not seen the Oscars I can only go with what I heard on Sean Hannity’s show today, but the person who called in said that when Barbara Streisand handed the Oscar to Ms Bigelow and Ms Bigelow started praising the Military she, meaning Streisand had an expression of shock and disgust. That is why I never watch those shows. Miss you Kirby

I was hoping that Avatar did not sweep the oscars. I had already decided that I would not go see Avatar for its anti american hidden messages…

I’m completely shocked! I have never cared about the Oscars but this is intriguing to see Hollywood get it for a change. Thanks for the insight.

The only reason Hollywood applauded a pro-military movie is that “The One” is now in charge. Never would have happened if GW was still president. Still, it was only temporary. I understand “The Green Zone” goes back to typical anti-military mode.
