please tell that the blue people win.

i dont mind spoilers so if you could PM me thatd be swell.

This film had many msg's to convey.

Love transcends between people and culture
Consciousness. we are all one .Everything is energy .
Respect and love for all things living,our heritage
Depicts the humans going in and thinking they can take over and destroy what they like in the name of $$ . Having no respect for life ,culture, fauna,flora
And many subliminal msg's to.
A Bush quote .The commanding officer states against the poor innocent indigenous tribe 'We will fight terror with terror" (taking the **** out of Bush's quote )


(and yes the indigenous win)
Magnificent film..People were clapping at the end..and people were seriously moved ..
I've been twice and will go a third and fourth time... this film will be forever in my heart..
