MovieFanatic
Great film with ample symbolism. Old story, new setting with amazing technology to support it. There are numerous "tellings" of this same story, both historical and contemporary from our own world. See what you want, see that it is in conflict with the present civilization, attempt to trade/bargin for what you want, if unsuccessful then take what you want, justify it as the other culture/government being less civilized/human/important than yourselves.
Examples: African slave trade to support economies in the Caribbean and southern US, European colonialization of Africa/India/Asia, expansion of the west (USA and Canada) into aboriginal territories, western occupation in the middle east, fossil fuel extraction from the oil sands at the expense of the environment.
