Billion dollar baby
Avatar a lousy movie subscribing to self-righteous, anti-American worldview
One billion dollars. More than one billion dollars (which is more than the GDP of nations like Burundi and Liberia) were spent by pampered Western audiences thus far on tickets to see the junk being screened at the best theaters under the meaningless title “Avatar.”
A billion dollars that could have saved the lives of tens of thousands of children had they been invested in water systems and first-aid clinics in the poorest African nations. Instead, these one billion dollars will flow into the pockets of 20th Century Fox and director James Cameron.
Referring to Avatar as a “film” is a grave insult to the movie industry and to the art of filmmaking. In order to be referred to as a film, a series of pictures on a screen needs to adhere to several basic demands, such as plot, acting, directing, etc. Yet Avatar lacks all of these.
A plot you say? It’s been a while since such unoriginal nonsense had been presented on our screens. A miserable combination of Jurassic Park (strange computer-animated animals,) Rambo (the single fighter against the army of evil,) and Total Recall (a greedy corporation abuses innocent tribes.)
And what about acting? Fourth grade kids will grant their parents a better acting experience than the few acting scenes in Avatar. And as to directing, well, if moving expressionless wax dolls that have been painted blue and fitted with artificial tails can be considered directing, then Avatar has a director.
But in fact Avatar does not have a director, but rather, a producer: A genius who managed to sell to tens of millions of viewers a delusional fairytale about a green planet, where the evil Americans arrive in order to eliminate the good natives on the orders of a cruel corporation.
Epitome of evil
As we know, the Americans have a tradition of genocide: Wasn’t it the Americans who murdered six million Jews, starved 10 million Ukrainians, executed more than a million dissidents in the Soviet Union, and bombed Kurdish villages with mustard gas during Saddam Hussein’s era? The Americans apparently also butchered a million Cambodians under the horrific Khmer Rouge communist regime, committed the brutal tribal pogroms in Rwanda and Darfur, blew up the Twin Towers in New York, and also the stadiums in Pakistan.
Hence, the Americans bear, on their shoulders and conscience, the gravest crimes against humanity. Not the Nazis, not the Stalinists, not the Maoists, and not the Islamists. The Americans are the epitome of Satan in the galaxy – at least according to Avatar, which was made in line with all the self-righteous rules of political correctness.
Please forgive me, but when I saw the frightening American APCs flying away and massacring – on the orders of an evil CEO – thousands of helpless, blue-skinned and kind hearted natives, filled with loved and living in complete harmony with nature, I burst out in laughter. I was laughing to tears about suckers such as myself, who paid good money for this junk.
So if you have to take your children to see Avatar, try to convince them to stay at home. It would be better if they donate the money to a social cause, rather than adding more to the billion dollars already earned by Fox.
