Two things I don't understand from critics of the movie (though it is fine with me if people don't like it):
1. Those saying it is a comment on current US policy seem to forget that Cameron wrote this back in the mid-90s.
2. If this movie is solidly liberal then I guess the Spanish destruction of Central and South America resources and people is a convervative ideal? More than anything, that is the real world example the overall story reminded me of.
3. People sayign that it is a rip-off of Dances with Wolves seem to think that the fundamental story progression was original to Dances with Wolves. "Warrior goes native, realizes his side is wrong" is a much, much older idea than that.
