I haven't seen the movie. I guess, from the criticisms, that the "white" guy does something critical for the liberation of the Colored beings ? I'll probably see the movie, as a lot of people are talking about it.
Actually, the orginal Indian meaning of Avatar sort of supports the critics -"a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth" Anyway, how about "Lawrence of Arabia", "The White Man's Burden" ?
