The Story

Well, first and foremost I'd like to applaud the plot of Avatar... a moving story of a race of... well... from what I can gather from the previews they seem to be some sort of cat people. A moving story of a race of cat people. It's a terrific allegory. A story warning us of the dangers of destroying nature and modernizing things... and of taking over other cultures. That, I'm pretty sure, is just awful to do.

This teaches us a valuable lesson, really a very important lesson that we should never forget. And that lesson is do not take over the native american's land 150 years ago.

And then when the female cat person says... well... says "AVATAR..." in a really deep voice. That was when we truly know as a people that we shouldn't take these creatures land. According to my research on Twitter I'm also pretty sure that there's an affair between John Smith and Pocahontas... but really, just totally moving... completely compelling... you can feel the cat people.
