I think my main reason for not wanting to see it was because I thought it was gonna be the Avatar that was that whole Japanese thing. I don't know much about that Avatar so I just quickly jumped to that. Glad it wasn't.
It did a great job showing both sides of things: The people who want to destroy and those who want to conserve and protect. No matter how many times those stories get told they always convey a sense of deep emotion.
And then it had that other sci-fi aspect too where all the humans want to do is contain and take control of the other civilization but this wasn't their planet to subdue to begin with.
And I loved the reference to the gold rush. You had the business side of it that wanted that special rock but it was on native land and so what do they do, force the natives out by sending so many people that the only thing the natives can do is get out of the way.
It had such an 1800s settlers vs. Native Americans feel to it. At least that's what I thought about the whole time I was watching.
I still can't get over this film. It was just down right incredible!
I love my EB icon but I think it's time for an Avatar!
