It appears Cameron's Avatar has brought up valuable discussion as to the significance of the seemingly retreaded plot line. Is the film yet another example of "white savior complex" as exemplfied by films such as Tarzan, Billy Jack, Gran Torino or Dangerous Minds, or can we read more into this movie's characters, their role and their motivations.
For that reason, I think it's valuable to see the film, then read about the many theories as to its symbolism.
