[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 675145, member: 11425"] I was listening to a radio program and an interesting point was brought up. The movie goes to great lengths to show how the natural should be upheld, and technology shunned. Or, at the very least, one is better then the other. The irony is, James Cameron, as he does with most of his films, relies heavily on technology to produce his movies. George Lucas, with [I]Star Wars[/I], shares this in common. My thoughts: It is as if they, and we (for eagerly going to see their movies), are almost embarrassed of our technological success. Thus we flock to movies that constantly remind us of the supposed sins against nature we have/are commiting. But we still cannot escape technology. Nor do we really, after all is said and done, want to. We'll just keep making and watching movies that speak to our collective guilty conscience of what we have wrought upon this world. [/QUOTE]
