A couple of weeks ago I made a post about James Cameron's claim that he was the greenist director because of his message in Avatar. I went to see Avatar for the first time last weekend and now that I have seen it I would like to give my opinion on his claims.
I don't know how he could have thought that it sent out a message to the public about being environmentally friendly and green. That was not the takeaway I had at all. I felt like Avatar was trying to teach viewers a lesson in harmony among different people and races more than it gave a lesson in environmental issues. Movies like Wall-E and an Inconvenient Truth had much more blunt messages about the dangers of ignoring the environment's needs.
