Dances with Aliens seems an appropriate term. The evil Earthlings are going to eradicate the natives and take over the planet. The natives , of course, are a peaceful ,,tribal species, who exist symiotically with their planet, and the implated soldier decideds he will teach them how to fight back against the evil oppressors. It looks like kinda a fun flick, I'll see it. And me being the big bad 'right winger' I may be taking a chance on my head exploding. But, hey, I like sci fi, and social commentary in film is hardly new. I watch movies for entertainment. I can't care a whit about mesages. Hmmm can I call my self a true conservative wih an outlook like that? Sorry to tell the OP, but this movie does not have all we right leaning types having an apoplexy.LMAO, you lefty's had more of a meltdown over Gran Torino, and Clints racial dialouge, than Avatar is causing with enviro and anti military commentary. Like that is a brand new thing or something. So, I'm gong to see this movie, and probably enjoy it, purely because I like science fiction, and leave my politics at the snack bar.
They ARE supposed to be making a live action version of that show, with Western actors. Not that I plan to see it.

Guys,it is just a movie...

Movies,songs,artists in general are notoriously incapable of influencing public opinion...

Ideas & doctrines do influence the people...

If the Iran regime goes ( more ) nuts,the...usual 2/3 of the Amers will approve "war "against it...

They are aye? Well, my lil' dude is a fan of that show, I'm surprised he hasn't said anything. I'll have to ask him if he knows about his favorite cartoon being a movie soon. Hmm, western actors for a live action re make of an Anime toon.

OK, so the politics of “Avatar” are left-wing, anti-corporate and anti-imperialist. There are even some even some indirect digs at George W. Bush and Operation Iraqi Freedom. A left-leaning Hollywood movie: no surprise there. So Third Worlders will eat it up. The Iranians, for example, should love “Avatar”--if, of course, their government would let them see it, which surely won’t happen.

I found the story line predictable and simple, and although long, it was very entertaining movie. I may see it again. One reviewer called it "Dances with Aliens".
Amazing that you have deduced that all right leaning people hate Avatar from perusing Hannity's forum. Wow.

I think people are looking too much into a movie. We going to talk about hidden republican messages in twilight next? How about the secret liberal agenda in the new batman movies?

Yeah really..

People should just see the movie for themselves, if you do you will quickly find the political BS is simply not there. I noticed people who have actually seen the movie are not the ones whining about political undertones.
