X Factor’s Leona Lewis Sees James Cameron’s Avatar As A Message For Hypocrites
AVATAR is James Cameron’s huge budget, carbon burning look at the future of mankind. Before we get to what X Factor singer Leona Lewis thinks of it the film for which she sings the theme song I See You, let’s hear from James Cameron. Says he – brace yourselves:
“I see it as a broader metaphor, not so intensely politicised as some would make it, but rather that’s how we treat the natural world as well.

She was the one dressed as giant goldfish, stood beneath shafts of light before a 60-ft wide jumbo screen (turned on) singing into a microphone. You might have seen her on your clockwork tellies.

“They care about the things I’m passionate about – nature, the planet, the environment. This song required a powerful performance so I had to find an emotional connection. I found one to them.”
Save the planet! Watch the film! Man the lifeboats!
“I was a huge fan of Titanic and went to see it three times…
The icebergs are coming!
