Does the film "Avatar" reflect the demolition issue?

Director Cameron has been quiet for many years after "Titanic". He started planning to shoot "Avatar" in 2005. He spent four and a half years developing 3D cameras and engaging in technological innovation. This former truck driver entered the film industry after being inspired by Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", and his dormant ability as a director is truly remarkable. The overall story of "Avatar" is actually a bit like "Battle for Terra", a bit like "Castle in the Sky", and a bit like "Dances with Wolves" and "Pocahontas" (Pocahontas), or "District 9" (District 9), which also reveals the "enclosure movement", "colonial expansion", "Vietnam War", "demolition", "deforestation" and many other historical murders and human The cruel shadow of social reality problems. This left-wing sense of social responsibility is what makes me admire Cameron the most besides his unparalleled revolution in film technology. The movie specifically mentions the barbaric cruelty of mankind's "fight terror with terror" and "preemptive military strikes". I believe all viewers are well aware of which government and what phenomenon this is actually directed at. After all, a movie with only technological advancement can only stay in the textbooks of film schools, but it cannot stay in the hearts of movie fans. In a Hollywood movie like Michael Bay's "Transformers 2," no matter how much technical investment, no matter how dazzling the visual effects, and no matter how complicated the fighting scenes are, it is just a gimmick that lacks real emotion and only adds to the headache. The reason why Cameron's "Avatar" is great is not only because of its unprecedented 3D technology, not only because of its unrivaled visual effects, not only because it took 4 and a half years and 500 million to meticulously forge, but most importantly, it It has a conscience, it tells the truth, it stands on the opposite side of capital and power, and it allows us to examine ourselves as human beings. And all of this must be done in the cinema, the eternal "tree of life" of the movie.
