Do you think that "Avatar" would be less controversial if the title had been "Atonement"?

No. I have not seen the movie but from what I have read it is an anti-Christian, anti-American leftist propaganda piece.

That is what makes it controversial, not the name of the movie.

The title Atonement would make no sense to the story of the movie.

I enjoyed this movie, but again people are reading WAY too much into it.

The story is *so* terrible. It's terribly 1-dimensional and so are the characters. If anything, it's painfully stereotypical, and I thought it's like watching a cartoon created for 10-year olds.

In other words, there's nothing "deep" about the story at all. It is just yet another sad case of a writer/director becoming so infatuated with special effects and computer graphics, that he forgets GOOD movies require a good story.

Cameron and Lucas must be best buds.

No, I do not see not the tile effects the film. Hell even the protest and boycotts against it are totally misplaced and unfounded.

Changing the name to Atonement would only serve to make the title have absolutely no correlation to the movie.

I don't mind controversy. I just think it'd be a better movie if it had an intelligent story.

Can you explain how its title makes it controversial?

Atonement is already taken.

controversial ?

its freaking Pocahontas on another planet

I didn't realise it was controversial
