'Is Avatar Too Realistic For Its Own Good?"
"Chinese writers condemned Avatar, a branch of the Russian communist party condemned it, the Vatican has weighed in, and other groups are endlessly debating its political meaning. What makes people respond so strongly to this flick?"
Personally, I don't think its the 'realism', as the article points out. There are other, far more realistic films than one based on blue aliens and they have far, far less people wanking over it. I simply don't understand it. The film was rather mediocre and 'meh', but take this chap for example, in the comments section.. "Wait wait. Look. If you think this movie is just innocent fantasy then you are being naive. As soon as I watched this movie, I felt like I experienced something that added context to my own life."
It was just a fucking film.. Not even a good one. I don't get it.
