James Cameron believes that his movie Avatar is a political war movie.
The filmmaker broke the box office record with his sci-fi film when it was released last year as it went on to break through the $2 billion barrier at the box office.
And it's a record breaker again this week as it has become the biggest selling Blu-Ray movie of all time.
However Cameron believes that his movie the politics in his movie could be linked with the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
In an interview with The Sunday Time the Oscar winning filmmaker said: "You’ve got your venal, corrupt and greedy human beings who represent the worst aspects of ourselves, and you’ve got the noble, spiritual, brave and beautiful Na’vi who represent the best aspects of ourselves.
"This is science fiction made by humans for humans. It’s not made for a Na’vi audience. They laugh at these pink, venal little creatures and the audience comes out of the theatre siding with the Na’vi, the better parts of themselves which they wish they could be."
"In Avatar I’m literally saying, 'Open your f**king eyes and look clearly at what happens in these steps to war, listen to the lingo, listen to what people say when they want to go to war'."
And with all the success that Avatar has enjoyed since it's release in December Cameron is already thinking about a sequel.
