The hardest thing for me to watch though was most definitely the "humans" blatant disregard for nature and the way nature interacts with itself. Jake Sulley said at one point, "See the world we come from: there's no green there. They've killed their mother, and they're going to do the same thing here." What a statement about the world we live in today. We're slowly killing it with no regard to anything. When somebody speaks up to try to teach people to treat Mother Nature better they are beat down by right-winged morons who aren't smart enough to pay attention to history or look ahead to the future. Lord forbid that they pull their heads out of their asses and Bibles and realize that being responsible stewards of what they are given includes taking care of the earth.
I think that growing up Baptist gave me great ammunition. The whole idea of being stewards of what "God" feels is proper to give was jammed down my throat. But doesn't that extend to things besides the monetary and material? Doesn't the Mother merit some thought in that? While I understand that we need to harvest trees for paper and oil and coal for power, isn't there a better way to get what we need without destroying the very thing that gives us life? If not for the earth, we wouldn't be here, sorry "God". "God" created earth too you know, and all the living things on it....funny how some people pass over what they don't want to read and then take everything else out of context.
But anyway, tirade over. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar and would advise others to see it. If you disagree with me, I've never claimed to be a movie expert, I can only tell you what I like.
