Hey Bhairitu, did you also pick up on the scenes stolen from Last of the
Mohicans? The scene in which they kill a deer and offer the prayer to release
the soul and also the scene in which the Huron make the unwelcome guest run the
gauntlet. Of course you have the story of Custer trying to drive the NA out of
the Black Hills to steal gold and of course the battle of Little Big Horn. Come
to think about it, was there anything original in that flick? Of course the
cloning of human and Navi comes from Jurasic Park. The scene in which the Na'vi
are gathered around the sacred tree chanting, I think, was a rip off from the
Star Wars film in which the *teddy bears* worshipped something or someone.

There's also a bit of "tantra" in the film too. I saw it as sort of a
space age "Dances With Wolves" with a bit of General Smedley Butler's
"War is a Racket" mixed in. Of course there will be one conservative
who loves the film: Rupert Murdoch.
