A Patriot!The pope is not happy with Avatar. According to a Vatican press release, the pope expressed concern over the message of nature being a deity. He is not the only one to be worried by the blue/green movie. Many conservatives believe the movie is anti-military, anti-industry, and blares a liberal agenda that goes against all that is right. I think they are all taking the wrong reading of it.
I read an LA Times article that posited the right should love this movie. It takes an unabashed stand on property rights. No big government entity has the right to infringe on the private citizens' property. Hell, the enemies even have black helicopters.
After thinking about the movie, I discovered a new theme the righteous right should embrace - immigration. A community of pure race is invaded by immigrants that want to destroy their values, take their jobs and resources, and dilute the purity of their life. Fences don't keep these illegals out, only action will. The heroes must form their own version of the minute men and serve as patriots to violently kick the unclean illegals out. In the end, they get to send those dirty sky walkers back to where they came from. The only immigrants allowed to stay are those willing to completely adopt the patriots' language and lifestyle.
Yeah, Avatar may have an environmental bend, but between the property rights issues and the illegal immigrants invasion, the righteous right should be having orgasms over the messages sent in Avatar. One true race, one true religion, one true piece of real estate. Oh yeah, you don't see any gay Na'vi either.

Karl, I haven't seen the film yet, but my cousin's son worked on it as an animator. It launched his career. Avatar is a blockbuster whether the Left or Right like it or not.
ReplyDeleteIt is well worth the admission. I enjoyed it and its oft-told message.
