China Film Group, unexpectedly began pulling the blockbuster science-fiction picture from 1,628 2-D screens this week in favor of a biography of the ancient philosopher Confucius. According to the Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily, the switch was made at the urging of propaganda officials who are concerned that "Avatar" is taking too much market share from Chinese films and drawing unwanted attention to the sensitive issue of forced evictions...

This move coincides with the recently conspired controversy in mainstream media that after watching "Avatar", people are feeling suicidal...and Vatican has also criticized this movie about showing deep connection between "Mother Nature" and her Children.....

I have also watched "Avatar" and i did not feel suicidal; rather i felt like i recalled my deep connection between myself and nature..the deep expressed love, which is pure and candid...And I think this movie's earning and growing popularity speaking itself about its acceptance among us!! I really feel now that "We all are divine, we have just forgotten that"....
