A Hollywood film,Avatar,broke the record set by Titanic,becoming the highest box office film at that time.
It took more than five years to make the film and it is one of the most expensive films.It won a Golden Globe accompanied with nine Oscar nominations.The film is set in 2154 and tells a story of a disabled soldier who is sent to Pandora to try to persuade the inhabitants to let his mates mine their homeland for natural resources.
From it,I learn that different races should respect each other and live in harmony instead of being at war.
