Avatar serves as a warning

Since most of you have already seen the movie and those who didn't I won't divulge any spoilers. After remembering the film objectively without the FX and 3D technology, I think the main idea of the story serves as a warning about how not to take care of the environment. There would be consequences if kept destroying our planet.

It maybe be obvious to some people, but for others the main idea of film might be different. Everyone is open to his or her opinion. To me the film reminds people to take care of the earth and each other. I guess in the future there will still be idiots who want to destroy something for a profit and at the end those idiots have to eat those words. The people who are the voices of reason are stamped out by those idiots.

I remember one line of the film that affirmed that warning. The male lead said, "We have killed our mother (planet). We should try and save this mother." I may have forgotten the other part of the line, but I think you guys get the point.

I saw a recent interview of Mr. Cameron on G4 and when he addressed the audience he held both hands like you would in a Buddhist or Hindu temple. His interview was insightful and gave his reasons for making the film. I didn't hear him make an environmental connection, maybe in later interviews.

My hope that the film will generate debate and some action to help protect our vulnerable ecosystem. After the Copenhagen conference, our world leaders must have something binding that will ensure we won't make the same mistake if we travel beyond the stars.

Let us protect our mother.
