Obviously some people like lists and others, like you consider themselves to be above them. Speaking for those of us who find lists and comparisons useful and time saving and who still somehow consider themselves to be rational. We do know how to take such things with a grain of salt and we know how to place a value on other people's opinions, even opinions as lofty as yours.


Hi Kat,

Interesting article, I don't find myself agreeing with many of the underlying assumptions of it though.

Cameron and subversive "left winger" Has this person bothered to look at the list of movies Cameron has made?
Does anyone think it is unrealistic to portray conflict between mercenaries and miners vs natives anything but violent and exploitive?
Where is the example in our history of benevolent conquerors?
Pizzaro? Cortez? The British East India Company? HBC? Texico in the rain forests? The US Cavalry against the Apache?
I thought Cameron was careful not to blame the US or its people.

It may have been a little over the top when the main character said "sent them back to their dirty planet." But it was credible for the character to feel that way.

I think Cameron was just telling the best story possible to display the techniques and characters he wanted to portray. I don't really think he had a political agenda. On the other hand. If he wants to win and Oscar he'd better keep that to himself.
