renaming the chancellor to bushaltine and watching as people still don't get the exceptionally straightforward allegory
I remember talking to my coworker when the first avatar movie came out and I said it was good but thought it was a little too on the nose about the American military and he just gave me this surprised look and said “wait it’s about the American military?”
It's interesting because it kinda isn't, like obviously it's meant to be about the US and there are symbols all throughout the movie (like when they show the villain in front of a window with stripes that form the US flag), but IIRC Cameron stated the movie is supposed to be more evocative of European colonialism.
cameron must have been bullshitting there. the movie is pocahontas in space. someone told him to make it 'not about america' somehow.
Maybe he considers Pocahontas as being about European colonialism too? I’m not sure when that crosses over from American colonialism to European colonialism, seems like a fuzzy semantic thing.
Well, there's no delimitation there. American colonialism is just an independent form of european colonialism. The way I see it that's a sleight of hand that helps things stay kosher, so to speak.
Cameron stated it's about how the Native Americans should have fought harder.
The curtains are blue, sir!
