Avatar: about more than white guilt?

I find it fascinating how many different interpretations are being made of the film Avatar. Here’s one by noted feminist theologian Kwok Pui-lan, who notes that "The movie is a story of white guilt—the white man needs to give up his way and be transformed. But it is also something more. It is a cinematic fable, in real 3-D, of how to remythologize biblical stories and interpret them in subversive ways."

You are the second person I have read that commenting on the undertones in this movie. I haven't seen it yet, but i'm hoping to put preconcieved thoughts aside before I take it in.

What is the Bible?
