I read a news article accusing the new movie Avatar to be racist, said by critics by portraying a white man coming to lead a community of primitive non white people.

One journalist goes on to says that it stereotypes white people to be 'rationalist' and 'technocratic' while colonial victims are 'spiritual' and 'athletic'

Director James Cameron counters by commenting

"Avatar asks us to open our eyes and truly see others, respecting them even though they are different, in the hope that we may find a way to prevent conflict and live more harmoniously on this world".

As well as that it has been reported that many people have felt depressed and suicidal after seeing it because they have to go back to the real world and never ever imagining a world such as Pandora.

I think this is pathetic personally besides which it isn't the first movie of its kind why is it only this movie that has supposedly made people feel this way and forgetting one thing ITS A MOVIE! movies are made to entertain the viewer and entertain only.

And this is coming from a Fantasy hardcore guy like me yeah I love that sort of stuff but I suppose I have made myself immune by all the fantasy books that I read as well as the games and anime.

I also find that this may touch base with Sinister's theory of hyper reality we are so hard pressed on leaving the reality behind that we do end up forgetting the reality and make our real lives so susceptible to fantasy and try to replicate it within our surroundings that we loose sight of what is real and what is hyper real, correct me if I have gone astray.
