Avatar Movie Review by HowTheWorldWorks

[Ze'ev]

   In a nutshell, this movie tries to make people think that the Europeans were stupid and evil and the voodoo and tribal practices savages are superior and better for the environment. Given that the movie wasn't going to show the aliens are the savages that they are, this movie should have at least done a better job at showing both sides of the conflict. It should have also showed how non evil cultures benefited from European progress.
   Now I need to watch a movie like Shaka Zulu. I remember a long time ago watching a movie where British were protecting a fort against wave after wave of savage attacks in Africa. I wish I knew the name of that movie so I could watch it again.

Thank G-d you named it I would have been up all night trying to remember the title. I must have seen it a number of times but I thought it was called something else. I even called my pop up just now and he said it was the English against the Zulus but did not remember the title either. I always thought they were fighting the Tutsi's in the movie. I guess I am to use to calling them that and they all do all look alike anyway    That really is a great movie.

Zulu starring a young Michael Caine. It's one of the best war films ever made.

   Looks like we have so many zulu mozies posted on youtube. Now I'm going to have a difficult time finding the one I had on mind. Nonetheless, the older the movie is, the more it betrays the savages as the monsters that they are. In some of the newer ones, the savages have enough intelligence to pick up and use the guns that the British drop. Those single fire muskets were not that simple to use back then.

   I would love to see a movie from a slightly later time when they clear out savages with machine guns.

   The African savages were not like the Japanese natives that actually did have a culture and were able to adapt to the technology that was brought to them. The movies about Samari sticking to their culture and only using their swords for the most part are mostly untrue.

   To commemorate black history month I'm going to try to watch at least one of these zulu movies.

The Japanese were one of the world's most advanced countries even prior to adopting western technology and methods.

I saw this movie in 2D - it is visually breathtaking, emotionally non-involving , intellectually idiotic. A typical Hollywood leftist "art". Still I'd recommend to see it, for a pure visual appreciation.

Exactly. Especially today, they contribute to a significant amount of technological advances.

They contribute to technology and science immensely, but the moral fabric of Japanese society is in as sorry a state as that of the rest of the first world.
