Today's Choice Chop is written by Univarn at A Life in Equinox. It's a very thoughtful critique of Avatar. It certainly is the film of the moment and Univarn tackles it with some serious insight. He doesn't bother hiding that he's as giddy as a twelve year old girl about it either (his words, not mine). An excerpt:For at its heart Avatar is Cameron's criticism on modern corporatism, and the lack of environmental appreciation in modern times. Cameron's high action, strong emotion, narrative comes at the backlash of walking out of the theater to see a handful of trees, paved parking lots, and resemblances of what was once a rich forest area. Will many even realize it? Somehow I doubt it...
Whether you've seen the movie or not, this is fantastic review. Read the whole article here.
