Glad Cameron
Bogle stopped short dvd collections, however, of calling the movie racist.
"It's a film with still a certain kind of distortion," he said. "It's a movie that hasn't yet freed itself of old Hollywood traditions, old formulas."
Writer/director Cameron, who is white, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that his disney dvd collection film "asks us to open our eyes and truly see others, respecting them even though they are different, in the hope that we may find a way to prevent conflict and live more harmoniously on this star trek next generation dvd world. I hardly think that is a racist message."
Although the "Avatar" debate springs from Hollywood's historical difficulties with race, Will Smith recently saved the planet in "I Am Legend," and Denzel Washington appears ready to do the same star trek entreprise dvd in the forthcoming "Book of Eli."(ishiner)
Bogle, the film historian, said that he was glad Cameron made the film and that it made people think about race.
"Maybe there is something he does want to say and put across" about csi miami dvd race, Bogle said. "Maybe if he had a black hero in there, that point would have been even stronger."
