London
(ANI):
James
Cameron's
Avatar
may
soon
be
stopped
from
screening
in
China,
as
the
authorities
apparently
feel
the
movie
is
subversive.
Seemingly,
the
state-run
China
Film
Group
has
demanded
cinemas
across
the
country
to
stop
showing
the
2-D
version
of
Avatar
from
January
23
on
orders
from
Beijing's
propaganda
chiefs.
The
Government
reportedly
is
wary
the
citizens
of
the
country
may
find
similarity
with
Avatar's
Na'vi
people,
who
fight
to
save
their
planet
from
humans.
The
link
may
exist
at
the
level
of
residents
who
get
in
the
way
of
property
developers.
Hong
Kong's
Apple
Daily
said:
"Reportedly,
the
authorities
have
two
reasons
for
this
check
on
Avatar:
first,
it
has
taken
in
too
much
money
and
has
seized
market
share
from
domestic
films,
and
second,
it
may
lead
audiences
to
think
about
forced
removal,
and
may
possibly
incite
violence."
