I don\u2019t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of Terminator movies 30-plus years ago, in our current world. What\u2019s happening with guns in our society turns my stomach \u2026 I\u2019m happy to be living in New Zealand where they just banned all assault rifles two weeks after that horrific mosque shooting a couple of years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gizmodo is your best bet. <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/avatar-the-way-of-water-james-cameron-gun-fetish-sully-1849934302\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blasted Cameron from the Left<\/a> That was their stance. The outlet is called the director \u201cself-righteous\u201d We were shocked at the level of gun violence that still exists in \u201cThe Way of Water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jake Sully is an ex-marine and one of the main characters in the Avatar series. He has a reputation for loving a gun. When the rest of the Na\u2019vi are reaching for bows and arrows, Jake\u2019s hiking an AR onto his shoulder and aiming it at the nearest target\u2026Later, Jake even explains to the Metkayina people that human technology, aka guns, will wipe them out easily. Jake almost always uses a gun in the big whale fight, which is why he stands a chance. If Cameron really wanted to avoid fetishizing guns, maybe they shouldn\u2019t have been such a huge symbol of power.<\/p>\n<p>The irony?<\/p>\n<p>Cancel Culture and the woke revolution didn\u2019t exist in 2009. It does now, though, and its proponents don\u2019t stop with critiquing art \u2013 always a fair and respectable process. They want it to be censored and punished so that artists will reconsider creating similar artwork.<\/p>\n<p>Choose your poison. Censorship and self-censorship.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives would be the first ones to defend Cameron\u2019s right to tell his story, his way. They may critique his motives and agenda, but their barbs aren\u2019t meant to silence the filmmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Can all of Cameron\u2019s progressive critics say the same?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Cameron is now making messages movies, and he doesn&#8217;t mind admitting it.
