<p>If Al Gore and his radical environmentalist buddies could make a Hollywood movie it would assuredly be something very much like Avatar. It has been a long time since there has been a movie with such an obvious agenda. You see, the truth is that Avatar is nothing more than a thinly veiled propaganda piece for the environmental movement. <a class="zem_slink" title="James Cameron" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000116/">James Cameron</a> is not even trying to hide it, and in fact he openly admits it.</p>
<p>So what is wrong with that?</p>
<p>Why not use a film to influence society?</p>
<p>Well, the truth is that we go to the movies to be entertained - not to have a radical environmental agenda crammed down our throat.</p>
<p>And that is exactly what Avatar seeks to do.</p>
<p>The following are ten reasons why Avatar is simply a thinly veiled propaganda piece for the environmental movement....</p>
<p>#1) The humans have come to the planet that the Na'vi live on (Pandora) to mine a mineral that is so rare that it is called "Unobtainium".</p>
<p>#2) The blue-skinned Na'vi are so "one with nature" that they actually live in trees.</p>
<p>#3) The Na'vi worship "Mother Earth" just like many modern radical environmentalists do.</p>
<p>#4) The Na'vi embrace philosophies that are very similar to what is found in eastern religions and the New Age movement.  They apparently believe in reincarnation and that "all energy is borrowed and some day you have to give it back".</p>
<p>#5) The blue-skinned Na’vi are so "green" that they actually reject all technology that is more advanced than a bow and arrow.</p>
<p>#6) The human sent to "negotiate" with the Na'vi in the film, Sully, actually switches sides and laments that fact that humanity has already wrecked their own planet and now they want to wreck the habitat of the Na'vi.</p>
<p>#7) In fact, humans in Avatar are portrayed as an evil race that has "killed their mother".</p>
<p>#8) Avatar is so extreme that it is perhaps the first big Hollywood movie where we are all actually meant to root for aliens and against mankind.</p>
<p>#9) In fact, Sully ends up so disgusted with the human race that he ends up rejecting not just the humans that he is working for, but his own humanity as well.</p>
<p>#10) James Cameron even admits that Avatar is a blatant propaganda piece.  In an interview for the film, Cameron said that Avatar is about "our impact on the natural environment, wherever we go strip mining and putting up shopping malls".  </p>
<p>So is Avatar worth seeing in the theaters?</p>
<p>Only if you like being preached at and indoctrinated.</p>
<p>Otherwise just hold on to your money or go spend it on some cheap plastic stuff made in China.</p>
