Avatar y el mesias americano

Hace un par de dias fui a ver Avatar en IMAX/3D. Sali maravillado. A nivel tecnologico la peli es impresionante y, para quienes aun no la vieron, les aconsejo que lo hagan en algun cine 3D. Pero el guion es bastante pobre y trillado- otro motivo para verla en 3D-. Justamente es la critica de este articulo- BTW, si no vieron la peli no lean el articulo pues revela un par de cosas de la historia (aunque no hace falta mucha imaginacion para predecir lo obvio). Algunos highlights,
"This is the oft-repeated story about a manly young adventurer who goes into the wilderness in search of thrills and profit. But, once there, he meets the native people and finds that they are noble and spiritual and pure. And so he emerges as their Messiah, leading them on a righteous crusade against his own rotten civilization.

'Avatar' is a racial fantasy par excellence. The hero is a white former Marine who is adrift in his civilization. He ends up working with a giant corporation and flies through space to help plunder the environment of a pristine planet and displace its peace-loving natives."
