I saw Avitar and thought it was pretty good. A little too long but otherwise good. Technically it was very good. I work in the video production industry and know what it takes to create the computer graphics/animation that were used, and can do nothing but admire the skill with which this flim was made. It contained several messages. And often times, NOT always but often times films, songs, television shows, whatever contain messages that are inside of us. Kind of like beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
As far as guns are concerned, they are tools. A tool in the hands of a good person is used for doing good deeds. That same tool in the hands of a bad, evil person is used for the comission of evil deeds.
I found a most important message to be that man can be quite greedy, willing to rob, evict, harass and kill in the quest for that object of his desire. We've seen the same that happened in Avitar, take place here in America with the American Indians.
ONE of several messages I did take away from the film is that force & violence had better be met with equal or greater force & violence if we hope to sustain our way of life.
I heard that certain motorcycle gangs use the ballpeen hammer as their carry weapon of choice. They break hands, bones, knee caps and heads with these hammers. My grandfather was a carpenter & mechanic. He built beautiful things and fixed broken things with his ballpeen hammer, and other TOOLS of course.
