The storyline of Avatar is heavily influenced by elements of white guilt over the genocide and massacres of American Indians and Aborigines as well as the fantasy of the "native rescuer", i.e the white man who becomes one of the tribe and does what they could not do - saving themselves from other white people - being innately superior to the native champion, and getting the native chick as a foregone conclusion.

It's really cliched but as long as these elements are present many moro people will feel that it's a movie that represents the human condition and uplifts us with a story of hope.
