I just watched Avatar: the Way of Water recently. I wonder about it.
Does it have the capacity to make us fall in love with our own planet? Or is its net effect escapism/defeatism, because what we experience of our planet is comparatively so flat/wrecked?
I remember hearing about "Pandora depression" among youth when the first one came out. They'd watch the movie repeatedly, as a kind of immersive addiction, and would feel depressed when their reality outside of the theatre didn't measure up.
@sumpnlikefaith I can’t stand Cameron because of what he said about Lakota people. I won’t watch it. He can rot, for all I care.
Just another exploiter.
@sumpnlikefaith I cannot stand people who exploit the vulnerable but being that my daughter is Lakota it’s especially egregious. He could have actually learned something but he insults our people. Completely oblivious. Can’t stand him.
