In Reply to: Or is it about Israel? nt posted by tinear on January 21, 2010 at 11:16:32:
tinear,
The Na'vi to me seem so closely modeled on Native Americans- with perhaps some Eastern influence, and of course, the military personnel all speak as 20th Century Americans- accents and idioms, there's no question in my mind it's purely an American Allegory.
Of course, the "Unobtainium" possibly could be a stand in for Iraqi and Iranian oil.
When you saw "Avatar" did you sense it was symbolic of Israeli treatment of the Palestinians?
Cheers,
