In Reply to: I believe it's about the U.S. specifically. What was your impression when you saw it? posted by Bambi B on January 21, 2010 at 12:56:05:
You're not the first to observe this...ignoring, of course, Sam Worthington's Aussie "accent". OTOH, if Cameron had chosen to have the characters speak as 22nd century Americans (one worlders?), we'd probably need captions throughout the entire film. Learning Na'Vi was enough of a challenge. (I understand Rosetta Stone has a course on conversational Na'Vi being readied for the market)
You also opine: "there's no question in my mind it's purely an American Allegory." and I'll pretty much agree. If you look carefully in the background of Mr. Selfridge's cubicle you'll find a little framed plaque of a US flag, probably an artifact from the late 20th century. No doubt intended as either a reminder of a former nationalistic world power long since subordinated to a world government OR as a reminder as to the origins of the current world government.
Overall, I'm amazed that this film is still the basis for so much ongoing discussion considering the criticism it has received from very pure spirits. It has obviously hit something deep.
