District 9

Opps! This was a movie where for the first time me and my husband had different opinions.Violence and sheer violence was my stand on the film. My husband loved the fights and the guns.

It was a movie on Extra Terrestrials who land on Earth.The goverment has a seperate district for them and thats District 9. The aliens start to infest the place and create havoc.So the goverment plans to move them to another place.The story is about a man who woks for the oganization delaing with the aliens.Involved in the operation, he is exposed to a chemical found in one of the shacks of the alien.The chemical slowly transforms him to becoming a alien.He is now the most wanted and most priced biological thing on the planet as he posesses the genes of the human and the alien race.
Its sad to see how they exploit him and torture him and his own wife moves away.
The poor guy helps the alien to get the liquid back in the hope that he mightbe cured.The alien escapes but he is left behind.For the world , he is listed missing but actually he s among the other aliens transformed as one of them.

The movie is good.Lots of violence and blood.The very physique of the aliens described is repulsive...atleast to me.
My husband sat almost at the edge of the seat devouring the technology, guns and an alien  story line.I still dint understand why!!??!! :-)

Other Informations : The story, adapted from Alive in Joburg, a 2005 short film directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Sharlto Copley, deals with the issues of xenophobia and social segregation. The title and premise of District 9 were inspired by historical events that took place in South Africa under apartheid in a residential area of Cape Town named District Six. The film was produced for $30 million and shot on location in Chiawelo, Soweto, presenting fictional interviews, news footage, and video from surveillance cameras in the style of a mock documentary.
