Avatar Critique

I watched Avatar last night after I heard huge raves about this movie. When it started I right away discovered the angle they were getting at. America is bad, we are greedy motivated by money at any cost. I am speaking from an American point of view as this movie went out to the world. What must the producers, the makers of this movie be thinking? When we are in a time of war, with many countries chomping at the bit to see our demise, and at this very moment the enemy plotting to see us fall. As the movie went on, people were cheering at the death of our Marines as they were wiped out, one by one as sheer evil beings, by alien killing machines, in a scene reminiscent of early Americans killing Indians at Custer's last stand. Yes, America has made mistakes. Yes, we were driven by greed at times. But in a time of war, when we should be unitizing as a strong country lets change the hearts of the world, but not increase the hatred against it. Shame on you again, Hollywood. Shame on you all the people who pay to go see this propaganda.
