The movie seems to almost permit it.<br />I'm not certain Cameron was aware of this. I've seen some of his comments on the film. <br />Anyway, to clarify a couple things that may be important, the soldiers in the film are actually ex-soldiers. The most likable character by far in the film is Jake Sully, also a marine. The Navi natives may be "all about peace" as their default mode, but they are most certainly "all about war" when push comes to shove. They win and peace returns this way. They are defending their property, and say so. They don't want what the invaders have to offer. They want to be left alone. They sound like American conservatives to me.<br />:-)<br />PS "The Book of Eli" is better. It is the only hopeful post-apocalyptic movie I can think of. Plus, it is unapologeticly Judeo-Christian.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589423819039764711noreply@blogger.com
