According to this columnist that is!!!

"The real story of Hanukkah is not about oil; it’s about factionalism and human suffering. When I first read that grisly story, the one in the apocrypha, my feelings about my ancestral religion slid a notch away from disinterest and toward dyspepsia.

In the book of 1 Maccabees, the gentiles have desecrated the Jews’ Holy of Holies, the Temple at Mount Zion. A family of badass Rambo Jews—the Maccabees—retake the Temple by force. They re-sanctify the altar by lighting a menorah, and the oil lasts eight crazy nights."

I watched this movie for free on the internet. Yum. It was a kick ass cam job ripped from utorrent. Do I give a shit? Am I bothered about not making a contribution to this 2 1/2 hr 500 million dollar mindfuck? Oh yes... yes indeed. I feel terrible that the cabal of writers and producers wont be getting my money to make more bullshit subliminally loaded films in the future.

The film begins with some soon to be reformed fucktards 6 month journey across the solar system to a planet called Pandora in an insanely technologically advanced spaceship while suspended in cryosleep, only to come off the ship in what appears to be a ghetto wheelchair from the 1990's, which is infeasibly contrasted amidst the backdrop of giant mechs and flying robots of all shapes and sizes.

In the spirit of ripping off the movie 'Being John Malcovich' the movie proceeds to demonstrate a technology that allows one sentient beings mind to control anothers body. This is the purpose of our protagonist. His mission is to have his mind transeferred and control the body of a "navi" tribesmen and gain intelligence as to the natives way of life for some greedy corporation who wants to take their land, who has also promised him that if he completes the mission successfully he will be given back his legs (note: he is a paraplegic).

Slowly throughout the movie of course, the protagonist comes to embrace the lifestyle of the Navi people, and realizes that there is absolutley nothing the imperialists (sky people= White people) can offer them in replacement for their livelihood (the environment which they are physically connected). He discovers that the Navi world is one of intense biochemical integration to the environment around it. For example every navi has sensors in their hair that can connect to everything in the environment (like the internet) and upload and download information about the system as a whole, in addition to allowing them to take control of animals and flying creatures within this network of life. Realizing this deeply engrained interconnectedness the navi have with their world, the soldier eventually switches sides and fights alongside the Navi against the imperialist army of which he was once apart.

Then shit hits the fan and the two sides go to war, sure enough the Navi are initially outgunned by the humans more advanced technology. Eventually though "Aiwa" the equivalent of our "gaia" is summoned and all of her creatures humiliate the imperialist army. The Navi get fucked up pretty good, but in the end send the humans packing (LOL! now this is where it gets deceptive!!!!).

Here is the point of this movie.

1) To demonstrate that nature is technology, that uploading and downloading everything about our lives into big brothers mainframe is something nearly spiritual in its significance.

2) The only thing that saves the Navi (natives) in the movie is the army of Aiwa's monsters that fight off the humans. Without this fictional interjection they surely would have been fucked, like the natives of the real world. The fact is there is NO BIG VIRTUOUS MONSTERS IN THE REAL WORLD. THE PURPOSE OF THE FILM IS TO INSTILL A FALSE SENSE OF HOPE. THE SAME OLD PREPACKAGED BULLSHIT HOLLYWOOD ENDING THAT TRIES TO MAKE YOU THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

They demonstrate the crudeness and immorality of the humans/ imperialists/ white people in the movie and show how nature balances things out in the end. Basically it translates into: Dont worry Palestine, big monsters MAY save you!!!

The term alien originated as one intended just to refer to foreigners, only in the last century has it been used to refer to what we know commonly refer to as alien lifeforms. I think they tried to show how the natives were aliens, perhaps refering to the perception on earth amongst bigots that native populations are somehow inhuman. Near the end of the movie the soldier (protagonists) is told by his commander that he has betrayed his "race" in his joining of the Navi, yet again alluding to similiar xenophobic situations on earth.

The main point of this movie is the ending, which IS NOT REAL. THEY WOULD LIKE US TO BELIEVE THAT MOTHER NATURES MONSTERS WILL COME TO THE AID OF THOSE WE PLUNDER!!! THEY WILL NOT. THEY WOULD LIKE US TO BELIEVE THAT MOTHER NATURE WILL CORRECT AND PUNISH MANKINDS WRONGS, That some mysterious force is going to save us from the corporate assfuck brigade that takes whatever it wants. IT MAY BUT LIKELY... WONT. THE VIRTUOUS MONSTER >>>>>MUST<<<<< BE>>>>>YOU<<<<<.

A much deeper meaning to the film is the idea that these corporate assfucks are actually up against some kind of notable resistance. It makes it appear as if there is a real challenge, a real threat, in the same way they hyped up Saddam Husseins army before they invaded Iraq. Its the same way they talk about "Irans revolutionary Guard" and how its a force to be reckoned with. So that when the time comes to fight, it wont appear so one sided, and there will be less sympathy for the people defending their freedumb.

One final observation
The imperialist protagonist who is implanted into the Navi body (avatar) at the end is able to tame a wild beast that none of the Navi were ever able to tame. It subtley tries to demonstrate (as so many hollywood films subtley do) the dominance of the imperialist army, as if only this Navi convert can tame the most wild of all beasts, and beat the Navi at their own game. He does this for the sake of leading the Navi to victory of course, so it appears OK. Its like an Israeli soldier switching sides and showing Palestinians how to defeat the IDF. Its there to refresh the myth of a dominance which doesnt actually exist...

Avatar in the hindu culture is referred to as

"In Hinduism, Avatar or Avatara (अवतार, IAST ), often translated into English as incarnation, literally means descent (avatarati) and usually implies a deliberate descent from higher spiritual realms to lower realms of existence for special purposes."

So the message in this context is that in stepping into the body of the Navi one is descending in spiritual significance, even though the reverse is depicted in the movie. The traditional understanding of the term indicates a demotion in the quality of representation, like how your facebook avatar only represents an aspect of you... But the words meaning has now been reversed to represent something that is more real, more natural, more spiritual, something... augmented...

I could go on about the deceptive  nuances of this waste of fucking time for hours, but all you need to know about any movie the media is promoting is that it will ALWAYS be in accordance of the interest of the ruling class, no matter how moral and spiritual it appears to be.
