"avatar has moved me, i would give anything to be on pandora, it was the best movie i have ever seen"

Avatar is a very unique film that touches on very deep primal inner understanding in some people. The film calls this "The bond" I was very deeply moved by what the film spoke on and it goes far beyond the fantasy visuals, Avatar at its heart is a mirror story that points a finger at "US" But its how Avatar does this that makes the film so unique. Avatar lets us see the world from our heartfelt inner understanding and touches on deep refrences to our inner Shared dream this is a part of our subconscious inner primal understanding that most of our people have De-Bonded from , Native peoples have this at there root core understanding of there sense of place in the world , for some Avatar rekindles this deep memory for others its just a entertaining film, what gets intresting is the source of this memory and how in some it resonates so strongly take a deep look at the first line of dialog in the film and it appears topical "I had a dream of flying "I was free" "sooner or later we all have to wake up" Cameron takes a dream almost all of us share in using a shared dream refrence He points to our own inner connective bond a dream we as a people all have inside of true freedom "I was truly free when I flew in that dream" Avatar has very deep well researched roots in real lore the understanding of earths native peoples for those intrested search youtube on" Achuar dream reader of amazon" or Toltec dream , The Na'Vi Clan is called the "Omaticaya" which means the Blue Flute clan" but this is "Also" a real world cultural refrence "Olmec-Maya"
the Thandor creature is a mirror on the cultural spiritual refrence to the Mayan Black Jaguar there are many connections earths native global mytholigy, Simply search Youtube "Chief Oren Lyons Speech"

We Humans are not the top Aminal. The Jaguar has much significance to the tribes in South America. The power of these big cats surpasses the powers of the Humans.

Both of my daughters started smoking, against my advice, but have since given it up for good (some years ago).
I don't pay excise tax on tobacco, because I don't buy it.
Smoking is on the decline in NZ It is forbidden by law in any enclosed public places, includinhg workplaces, on the grounds of hospitals or schools, and soon I think even in open public spaces.
There are some that smoke in their cars with children in them. I can't see that being legal much longer.
There is NO tobacco advertising in New Zealand, so as I said, one actress smoking in a movie is not likely to start anyone off.
I cannot recollect throwing any mud, I just said that a little less intensity was in order (hence the "soap box" remark.... which was perhaps injudicious).
My country has taken a lot more notice of the WHO than, for instance, the USA.. I have practical knowledge of the effect of banning advertising of tobacco, and restricting its use to private places. It works. Thirty years ago if you went to a gathering of 100 people, at least 80 would smoke; now you would be lucky to find between 5 and 10.
So the problem is declining, at least in NZ where the government has the guts to do what the people have demanded on this front.
Again, I cannot see that one actress, smoking once or twice in a full length movie, and not at other times, is going to change anything, and that your 'pouncing' on this as some great evil was something of an over reaction.
I am on your side over the tobacco issue, and was one of the ones that helped reforms in NZ, but one can over do it and end up pushing people into an entrenched position, as witness some of the reactions here.
The smoking in the movie was not really necessary, but it did add something to the character they were trying to portray.
Have you seen the collector's edition of Avatar? It has scenes on Earth before Jake went to Pandora that help the context....
