"Kelly, I just watched that Avatar movie last night."
Oh yea, Grandma? What did you think?
"I thought it was really good, you do understand the message, don't you Kel?"
Oh ya, definitely Grandma. It's like Ferngully and Pocahontas. Like a telling of how the Europeans exploited the Indians when they came to America.
"Yea, sure Kel. Its actually about technology and how its ruining us all."
What? I don't remember...
"Yep. The other day I was on the phone with a woman, and she kept telling me how I had to check the internet to fix my problem. I remember when it used to be that you just had to fix it yourself. It was easy. Now, I don't have any idea what's going on. Do you remember in the movie how the humans had all the technology? The blue people didn't, and they died because of it. The humans were ruled by the technology. That's what the movie is really about."
Also about the Europeans exploiting the Native Americans and how they killed a lot of them and took their lands? Right, Grandma?
"No, I don't think so."
Apparently, my grandma is worried about a technological apocalypse, and Avatar had nothing to do with Native Americans.
