Where to start, where to start. Okay, here we go, Dances with Wolves 3D.

I resisted for ages to watch this movie because I expected it to be a waste of time and I was right, I should have listened to my instinct.

First of, yes, the CGI is amazing, brilliant and eyepopping. But CGI is not a creative discipline, it is technical and as such only a matter of time and money, not artistic ! Imagine a perfect picture of your room, is that are ? No, it is just technical, however, if you interpret the room, choose a specific angle, blur it, add something personal, it becomes an object d’art. Avatar is not a piece of art, it is utter and moronic white trash. Star Wars, Jurassic Park and even Cameron’s own Titanic had captivating stories but Avatar ? Story ? I did not see a story apart from the same movie I have seen a million times, cowboys and Indians, bla bla bla, boring.

There is a simple rule to test whether a movie has a good story. A good story sounds just as good and exciting on paper as it does on screen, Avatar fails that test . . .

What bothers me the most and this is why I loathe and hate that film and think it is, to put it plainly, offensive is its underlying right-wing assumptions. The natives are nothing but helpless fools and are subject to the white men’s mercy. Did anyone notice that it is actually the white man (Worthington) who becomes their “leader” ? Who delivers them from Evil ? I though we agreed that conquering and converting natives is a bad thing ? Is it not ? Take a dictionary and look up exploitation,colonialism and eurocentrism please.

While millions of people pay money for this shit and weep into their buttery popcorn (oh, the poor blue kangaroos). thousands of people in the world are exploited, enslaved and invaded by the Americans at this very moment !

FOR FUCK’S SAKE !

I walked out on it after 2 hours because I could literally (yes, not figuratively) feel how my IQ became lower and lower and lower.

Seriously. If you are “into” beautiful landscapes and exotic creatures, watch more documentaries such as Planet Earth or Terra, or do you need blue sex kittens to make it worth your while ? If you are “into” indigenous tribes, read books about it.

But whatever you do, do not watch such utter trash.
