I think Avatar is more of an allegory to what happened with the Native Americans. The Na-vi, clearly resembled the Native Americans more than they do Iraqis.
Yeah, but Cameron has basically said Avatar is supposed to have a message about Iraq.
A friend who saw the movie told me that the human guy who becomes Navi becomes the coolest of the Navi. That's an old racist cliche. The cliche basically goes White guy goes in among the non-whites and he's the best among them, because you know, whites are superior. Like I said, racist. Funny that Cameron would do that while trying to be so politically correct.
Here's another column on the message of the film.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
A very politically motivated story about "Avatar" over at CNN...

"Other fans have expressed feelings of disgust with the human race"
Yeah, I said the movie is anti-human. It seems to be big with the message that humans are bad and nonexistent aliens are soooo much better. Fuck that.
