Is the Horror of Immigration. Now in 3-D!!
As you are probly know if you are a funky culture vulture with your fingers in the pulses, peoples everywhere are rave about the new blue movie Atavar, by Irish director James Cameron, mostly because it is in three dimensions, going not only up and down the screen and both ways across the screen but also, if you wear special spectacles, like the founder of the Mormons, even out of the screen and into the theatre. Or, if you are watch it at home, into your living room, all over your carpet, and into your bed.
This may be a bit too close for comfort for many viewers, of course, because this is a movie that deal with a most unpalatable topic, namley, foreingers, and the last thing most people want is foreingers in their bedroom. Neverthenonetheless, you should bare with me, because the movie is have an important message that people do not really been pay attention to, and is about bloody time that they did.
Some of the audience watching it and reading this will be old enough, I espect, to remember the film Planet of the Ape, which star the brilliant Charlton Hesto and was base on the even better book Monkey Planet, by Pierre Boulez. Boulez’s intention at the time was to warn western civilization about the coming destruction of society as a result of immigration by blacks who would one day take over the world and wield the whip hand. Was a powerful and necessary message that only a few people really pay attention to, mostly fascists, and that is only preaching to the inverted. Sadly, when the film was made to reach a bigger audience, the message was softened, and the monkeys were become almost nearly sympathetic, especially Rodney McDowall, (in the remake, the directors was try to overcome this by casting Helena Bonham-Carter-Ruck as a chimp, but that still was not make people angry enough).
Today’s children will have forgot the Ape Cycle (Planet of the Ape, Escape from Planet of the Ape, Behind the Planet of the Ape, and Never Turn Your Back on Planet of the Ape), which is why this new movie is so necessary. Cameron has try to be as subtle as Boulez, translating the Irish term for black man, “Fear Gorm,” into its literal meaning—blue man—and then tarting up the movie with a few 3-D effects so that his message is not lost in all the tits and whistles.
I know the movie is being particularly well-receive in Britain, where the people of foreing colour is now 3 million out of 60 million. If my math is correct, that is almost half the population. No wonder British people are feel swamped and say their culture is disappearing. Remember, these foreingers are people who will not integrate into the traditional British culture of drinking alcohol until you are sick in the street, fighting strangers, eating at McDonald’s, obsessing about football and cars, marrying white girls, talking proper, doing poorly in school, eating bacon and Sunday roast, and going to church religiously. And their youngsters, instead of hoodies, are wear the hijab or the turban in the street, and instead of trainers they are wear sandals or flip-flops or whatever it is they do wear. And they won’t join the army or the air force. Is a big disgrace!
I am hope that Cameron’s movie will do something to restore pride for civilize people in their country and that they get properly the message of the film. My fear, however, is that people are stupid and will miss the hole point. Indeed, I am see already that the liberal atheist media are try to put the spin on it, as we might espect. They try to present the film as an allegory about imperialism and colonialism. As if they were somehow BAD things!
Sadly, what can we do in a democracy, where even stupid people are allow to have opinions? In an ideal world, where we could shut down all the media and force people to watch the film without any preconception, then maybe we might stand a chance. But then, in an ideal world, their opinions would not matter in the first place and we would not have to go through the hole charade of giving a toss. I am call this Estímulo’s Paradox.
My advice, therefore, is that you read the book. The film have already been spoiled. And in any case, they all die in the end.
Is a joke!

Good message, pity it’s so hard to read. This is mangled English, can these articles be proof read before being published?

No no no: proofreading would emasculate its hispanic blas - a bit like Myle na gCopaleen subbing his prose to conform with plummy received Oxbridge English. I’m puzzled by the reference to ‘Monkey Planet’, by Pierre Boulez. Are you perhaps confusing him with the animated composer and conductor of classical music Pierre Boulez, fondly referred to as “lunchtime O’Boulez” in that countercultural Anglo-Saxon satirical magazine, Private Eye?
