“Right-wing attacks on Avatar,” explains Ann Marlowe at Forbes, “show a frightening tone-deafness to what most Americans find inspiring…”
In "Avatar and its Conservative Critics," Matthew Milliner quotes Marlowe and goes on to critique the conservative critiques of Avatar. He compares it to C.S. Lewis's space trilogy, which I haven't read since college.
I have expressed mostly negative reactions to Avatar (its story, not its visual effects), but Milliner's post will make me re-think my position.
