Totally original sci-fi film that also comments on South Africa's racist past
District 9 was an original and innovative science fiction movie made by director Neill Blomkamp. The story revolves around Sharlto Copley as Wikus van de Merwe. He is a bumbling employee at the Multinational United (MNU) in charge of alien affairs in Johannesburg South Africa. Several years ago an alien ship parked itself over the city. Thousands of aliens in very poor shape were found inside and settled in a camp run by MNU. Wikus gets infected by an alien substance that transforms him. On top of the alien story, the movie also plays upon South Africa’s racist history with the aliens being treated like the black population used to be under apartheid.<br /><br />The movie is a great mix of sci-fi and action. The aliens were very original. They looked like walking bugs. Once Wikus is on the run he gets to blowing things up and using alien technology.<br /><br />Another thing that made District 9 so good was the story. It was completely unexpected. One moment Wikus is trying to evict the aliens and the next moment he’s turning into one. The story also has a twist about what he finds out about the aliens, and the ending was very bitter sweet.<br /><br />The was also the messaging. The aliens in the camp mirrored South African Apartheid. It was a giant shanty town with a wall around it and heavily policed by armed guards that had no problem shooting down an alien if they did anything wrong. There was a special unit that was sent in when there was trouble that was known for their abusive tactics. There were signs all over Johannesburg saying no aliens were allowed in any public space. They were called prawns to denigrate them. The mistreatment led to riots by the aliens. These all happened under apartheid. The aliens symbolized how blacks were formerly treated under the racist South African government. Like the aliens they were not considered humans. They were separated from society and told they didn’t belong. Their lives were not valued, and the authorities could do anything they wanted to them.<br /><br />If you like science fiction District 9 is a must see. The plot is great and its underlying message about South Africa’s past is an added bonus.<br />C
