Excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2011)

I absolutely loved this movie! It had everything that you could want from a movie. There was drama, comedy, love and suspense. Unfortunately it never got recognized for anything more than its animation and special effects.
Avatar is a great example of why I don't watch the Oscar awards anymore. Avatar was not fairly judged on it's storyline, screenplay or directing. Why? Because Michelle Obama said that The Hurt Locker was her favorite movie of the year.
Our government does not want to support a movie like Avatar, for obvious reasons. It is a movie about the little people standing up to a bigger power house. If you think about it, this is closely related to the war in the Middle East. Lets break it down.
The Na'vi people have a precious substance that the power house wants (Unobtainium). The people in the Middle East have a precious substance that the United States wants(petroleum).
The Na'vi people don't want to give up their substance. The Middle Eastern people don't want to give up their substance.
When the Na'vi people don't give up their land, so that the Sky People can mine for the Unobtainium, the Sky People kill the Na'vi. When Middle Easterners want to charge their set prices, instead of only charging what the US is willing to pay, the US kills the Middle Easterners.
The Oscars are not fair, and that's why most of the big shot actors (De Niro, Hoffman, Nicholson, Newman, Brando etc.) don't show up at the Oscars.
By the way, since they were in the theaters, I have seen Avatar on TV almost everyday. I have only seen The Hurt Locker on, maybe twice! I rest my case.
