Hard criticism for the USA. But will anybody notice??

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2009)

One of the best movies ever. There was the famous Mr. Gorbachev, who wrote in his book "Perestroika" the remarkable sentence: "Capitalism is incapable of solving mankind's global problems". We just witnessed Copenhagen, where the two most aggressive nations on this planet finally paved the way to global doom.
Avatar shows us the extinction of the Native Americans by the first Europeans coming to America, it shows us the way the Aborigines ended after the English came to Australia, it shows us numerous "smaller" events, where the evil combination of a mighty military machine and insidious commercial interests. This combination (some call it fascism) will do everything to get its profit.
I find it fascinating, that especially a nation like the USA, who can't kick militarism, is making such movies, watching such movies, enjoys such movies and ... continues exactly like they did before. Don't marines visit movies theaters? Don't managers visit such movies? We destroy everything. This process continues, it actually happens each and every day. Each day, "Avatar" happens on Earth. A little Pandora in every hour of our life. But since we don't watch it in 3-D in a movie theater, it doesn't bother us too much and our "Na'vi's" ain't always that perfect and pretty.
So now we watch it in beautiful, magical pictures in a movie theater and the good ones win for once. At least until another profit-hungry corporation comes back and throws some ERW /neutron bombs on the Na'vi, because after that, they can continue making 20 Million bugs a kilo of something mineral - so we can buy more non-alcoholic beer and more blue jeans and more bankers can claim more bonuses.
The movie is wonderful, but the victory of the Na'vi can only be considered a "Little Bighorn". Nothing more.
For the few among us who know about Enlightenment, the movie pictures the Na'vi as beings living in a state of knowing who they are. This alone makes it worth watching the movie.
