Re: "Avatar" pulled from 1628 Chinese movie screens
Who would have thought James Cameron would come up with something so powerful it needs banning and the disapproval of the pope?
My feelings why Dances with Wolves never had the same wide reaching effect are several, one just the timing in terms of human consciousness (or the lack of,) and the other being the fact that a historical human victim brings up too many feelings of guilt and discomfort so people repress the message.
Many people in this life may well have been the perpetrators of that or any other genocide and can not face the horror within themselves.
Cameron was very clever bringing a fresh face/culture to the age old story, and cleverer still not to make them look like any ubiquitous ETs.
It's all getting very interesting, and I must admit I never expected the power of Holywood to be used for such ends.
