Great Regulars: Discussing the movie's message, [James] Cameron slips

into business-presentation mode as if I'm a potential investor. "Here is my nutshell analysis of how the film works. You've got your venal, corrupt and greedy human beings who represent the worst aspects of ourselves, and you've got the noble, spiritual, brave and beautiful Na'vi who represent the best aspects of ourselves. This is science fiction made by humans for humans. It's not made for a Na'vi audience. They laugh at these pink, venal little creatures and the audience comes out of the theatre siding with the Na'vi, the better parts of themselves which they wish they could be."

from Bryan Appleyard: The Sunday Times: James Cameron: Beyond the third dimension
