I just saw this thread and wanted to comment about the fact that the main character is disabled. Not all disabled people are heroic figures. Hollywood seems to want to make every disabled character a portrayal of a heroic person. Most disabled people are just trying to live the best life we can just like most people. I do appreciate the inclusion of more disabled characters in film. I just wonder why they can't be a little closer to reality.
The movie Avatar was visually wonderful. The themes were a bit heavy-handed and the plot predictable. It was nice to see the underdog triumph. I enjoyed it for the mind candy that it is.
