I realise that my initial enjoyment of the film was about me feeling good as a white person, and glossing over the very problematic racialized imagery, etc. You raise some very excellent points and solutions to racism in cinema.<br /><br />I am going to ponder this some more...Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173874298223506765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-39385576789729133392009-12-20T14:49:10.229-08:002009-12-20T14:49:10.229-08:00Time will tell if Leno or Conan make a casino joke...Time will tell if Leno or Conan make a casino joke about the Na'vi next week.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-63173991798884156232009-12-20T11:12:01.238-08:002009-12-20T11:12:01.238-08:00I refuse to watch a film that is just a rehashing ...I refuse to watch a film that is just a rehashing of other films, especially when it is associated with race so strongly and wrongly. <br />Its really sad that today racism is still intertwined with the film industry, and these people still actually think that what they are doing is logical. They give in to racism because they think no one will see the movie unless the main character is white and degrading & demeaning another(real or ficional)races culture and intelligence, are you kidding me, I thought we were in the 21st century, why oh why are people still thinking this way. Its mostly because they dont HAVE to make the lead character white they do it cause they want to, and because these people are racist themselves, either that or they are just incredibly ignorant.Chancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-42459539718780637092009-12-20T09:50:25.179-08:002009-12-20T09:50:25.179-08:00"Jake never really knows what it's like t..."Jake never really knows what it's like to be a Na'vi because he always has the option to switch back into human mode."<br /><br />Not to spoil, but it is clear that the reviewer did not watch the entire movie.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
