AVATAR -Avatar protesters?

Yesterday, the last day of school for me, AVATAR came out. My friend and I lined up for about half an hour to buy tickets and we were there quite early. I was really excited and I had waited months for this movie to come out. I think from the summer or even before that.

Avatar is the movie written and directed by James Cameron. It took I think 7 years to develop and it was his first movie in 12 years. The casts in Avatar is no Johnny Depp or Anne Hathaway, the actor playing Jake Sully, the main character, was an Australian actor, Sam Worthington.
The movie is basically about humans who are going to the planet that has simliar features as Pandora. The main character, Jake Sully, had a twin brother who trained to be in this program to use his own avatar and negotiate with the Na'vi people of Pandora, but he passed away. Avatars are created using human DNA and the DNA of the native Na'vi people. As a twin, Jake Sully replaced his brother. He was an ex-marine who lost both his legs.

I seriously loved the movie and I believe the months of waiting was amazing. It's really amazing how they were able to make the 3D so realistic! I loved it~ and I really high recommend watching Avatar. The music was great and wow, I was just blown away by the creative creatures of Pandora. The planet was just sooooo beautiful, I want to be there myself. The 'alien', well, Na'vi people were really pretty, their skin and all that. I don't know how to put the feeling I felt in words, but I swear, if you don't watch this movie...you're missing out a lot.
When the movie ended, I felt completed, you could just ask me to die. I'm sure there are a lot of great movies out there, but this...this, to me, is a masterpiece. This is amazing in its own way...Avatar is something you have to watch at least once in your life. The beauty in this movie is just...really awesome. The feeling I got...sigh~ I don't know how to describe it. I'm sure there are many movies that will be just as great but the effects!

Anyways, earlier, I read some stuff about people protesting against the release of Avatar? I think that's just pure stupidity. Not that I'm against gay people of lesbians. I just find it ridiculous that anyone would want a movie to stop because the director made the futuristic aliens straight. I don't really fully understand the movie, but I don't think James Cameron made the aliens straight just to offend gays or lesbians or generless people and transgendered people. It's just pure stupidity they're protesting against this movie.

Trying to stop a movie that took SEVEN years to produce because of this is PURE stupidity! I know the gay pride thing is really important, but I don't think stopping a movie that didn't even mean to offend people is just weird and ridiculous.
There was also something about how they're protesting about Avatar because they think the future, people would be genderless or something. Like seriously..this is just a FICTIONAL MOVIE. How would anyone know what will happen? They're just ALIENS...how would ANONE know if aliens would be straight or not? Lets just make people's lives easier and stop caring about the details of whether aliens can be gay or not. And why can't humans still have gender in the future? Why can't we stay the way we are now?

I may be wrong since I don't know the full story, but I find the protesting stupid and ridiculous. Thank god they didn't stop the release of the movie, if they did. I would cry 'bout the fact that I didn't get to watch this movie.

Once again, you should seriously watch AVATAR<3
