I had to drive my two young cousins to the theater for the movie two nights ago – so, yes, I am speaking from the perspective of someone who did see the movie.

I was frankly surprised at how Cameron treated those aliens in the movie. It is a fiction, so I even accepted this ridiculous premise about how the nature is all connected like a huge organism, and that there is a tree of souls. But then those aliens turned out to act exactly like how indigenous Amazonian or Indonesian tribes reacted when the civilization reached them, No, it was even worse – those aliens precisely reflected what *we* think of those tribes, not how people in those tribes actually reacted. The fact is that most of those human tribes adapted technology. And yes, ones who clung on to their beliefs perished. But to Cameron, those facts must have been very inconvenient truth indeed.

Basically, the movie reflected how the liberals view the people they claim to care about , i.e. “We don’t care what you think is the best. We know what’s best for you, so shut up and do what we tell you to.” I really should rather have rented and watched ‘Pocahontas’ – at least I would have avoided a 2.5 hour lecture that way.

I am also trying to get over this simple fact: there are plenty of rocks in that world. So why do I never once see an alien pick one up and throw it? Even Ewoks threw rocks at Imperial AT-ST walkers!
