James Cameron’s much-anticipated film "Avatar" has a Green and Anti-War message, and exposes America's conduct in the War on Terror through its plot line.
The story is set in the year 2154 when Earth's inhabitants, plan to use military force to conquer Pandora for its rich resources that they desperately need. Pandora, a planet roughly the same size as Earth, is inhabited by a peaceful human like species with blue skin called the Na'vi.
The earthlings send in a crew of special-forces mercenaries armed with sophisticated weaponry to attack and conquer the Na'vi, despite the fact that they represent no direct threat to Earth. The military employs mind-controlled avatars that resemble the Na'vi in to venture out from their landing crafts to destroy a pristine world out of blindness and greed.
James Cameron has publicly proclaimed that he's an environmental activist who believes that our "industrial society" is "causing a global climate change" and "destroying species faster than we can classify them." In a recent interview, Cameron admitted that he made "obvious" references in the film to Iraq, Vietnam and the American colonial period to emphasize the fact that humans have a "terrible history" of "entitlement" in which we "take what we need" from nature and indigenous peoples "and don't give back."
