Character Dispute
Sigourney Weaver is a smoker, and she often swallows clouds in movies. As early as in the "Alien" series, Sigourney Weaver played Ripley as a smoking woman, but it did not cause much controversy at the time.
In the movie " Avatar ", Dr. Grace Kelly , the "smoker" played by Sigourney Weaver , was strongly dissatisfied with the anti-smoking groups in the United States. They believed that the movie was suspected of promoting smoking, and they were prepared to launch a series of anti-Avatar activities!
The most striking target in " Avatar " is the first appearance of Sigourney Weaver (Dr. Grace Kelly). When Jack saw her for the first time, she just disconnected from the Avatar link, suggesting that the assistant handed a cigarette, and smoked quite freely, an old smoking gun gesture.
When " Avatar " was first released in the United States, smokers immediately launched a violent protest. They criticized "It's like someone putting harmful nuclear substances into drinking water pollution!" because Grace Kelly , a scientist who loves nature , is also a "smoker". A non-smoking website also rated " Avatar " as a "black lung", which means that the film is suspected of advocating smoking, and warns children to know how to distinguish and parents to actively guide it. " The New York Times " has also made a series of reports on this, and once lamented that "the Christmas stalls of the family carnival cannot completely say goodbye to tobacco."
Stanton said that " Avatar " smoking shots will have a bad effect on young people for a long time. Because the smoker, Dr. Grace Kelly, was portrayed as a justice party in the film, her behavior is easily imitated by teenagers and is regarded as the standard of "this is so cool". At the same time, some health organizations, such as the World Health Organization, even proposed that the US government "strictly control all smoking scenes in movies." Some radicals also put forward the idea that smoking shots should be closely linked to film classification , and impose penalties on actors who smoke too many shots.
