I came across an interesting article from Richard Louv, author of The Last Child in the Woods. It was an open letter to James Cameron regarding Avatar. Here is the link:
I had the privilege to meet Richard Louv and hear him talk in Springfield, Missouri a couple of years ago. I also had the privilege to experience James Cameron's Avatar on the IMAX screen. What a great combination. Richard Louv coined the term Nature Deficit Disorder "in an effort to heal the broken bond between our young and nature".
An interviewer asks James Cameron: "What is 'Avatar' saying?
He answered: "It asks the questions about our relationship with each other, from culture to culture, and our relationship with the natural world at a time of nature-deficit disorder."
It was interesting to actually hear it from James Cameron after all of the many interpretations out there about this movie. It was more than a movie it was an experience. I can't wait to see it again :)
