James Cameron: Yes, humans are literally colonizing your planet for resources, destroying your cultures, enslaving your peoples, but you cannot resist the wrong way. Yes, this is inspired by my understanding of indigenous populations on Earth and their colonizations, what about it?
… and? Anything to say about the causes of that anger?
Cameron seems pretty good at alluding to real-world issues in these films. Avatar isn’t exactly subtle.
Cameron thinks Avatar is about how the native Americans are responsible for their own genocide, though.
