AVATAR

The movie extravaganza was a rich experience comparable to the Star Wars movies in innovation and social message. In my mind it told what we did to the American Indians, these interglactic travelers did to the Na'vi indigenous tribes on Pandora. The belief system that all living things both animal and plant are connected energies was pure American Indian.

The question I have the day after seing the movie are: Where are the Na'vi children that were referred to in the film?
I didn't see any families in the film.
The special effects were dramatic and some were particularly beautiful. My favorite were the little seedlings that were irredescent and appeared to be as spiritual as a beautiful butterfly.

Avatar could give contemporary society new insight into the necessity to preserve our natural world if anyone out there can see past their own comfortable life.
