| Avatar suggests that real heroes in the military should turn their guns on their own members and fight the military.
There is no question about it. It's an Anti War propaganda film.
I wonder if the U.S. military has any idea on how this film will be received by those who see it in various theaters of war that the U.S. is now involved in.
It will absolutely have the effect of causing the American Military soldiers to doubt their mission and some who are on the edge may express the same kind of attitude that is expressed by some of the soldiers in the film who switch sides and join the "aliens" (Iraqi's, Afghans, Pakistanis etc, etc.)
The film shows the military of Earth, dressed clearly in U.S. type military garb with U.S. military logic, speech, weapons and attitude. All the soldiers speak English with American accents. The general in charge of the invasion is a soldier who speaks in pure U.S. Marine. There are no "foreigners" in the military, as I recall. It's all Americans.
It shows the military and industry in cahoots with industry looking for ways to make the presentation of the theft of native lands more marketable. In this case the Military of Earth (U.S.) is seeking "unobtanium" . In the end industry lets the generals run the war and simply allows the generals to kill. It's easier that way.
I happen to like the film. Because I am sympathetic to the side of the Aliens, (the Iraqis, Afghans and Pakistani's for that reason.
It's one of the first war propaganda films that suggests that the invaders are corrupt and the people who have been invaded, enlightened in comparison.
It's puts Barak Obama in his place as the up and coming most violent war criminal in U.S. History.
