District 9: Rachel Cho

District 9
The movie "District 9" was directed by Neil Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. It was an exceptionally good movie that portrayed a lot of disturbances and such going on in the real world. What I see in this movie is aliens that basically landed on Earth and are trying to get back to their spaceship but can't because they do not have all the materials required to fly their machine to the main spaceship. So for the time being, they are in hiding from humans. This movie is very symbolic of our world because the aliens are kind of like the people who don't exactly belong. The movie directors are probably trying to say something like, foreigners are not welcome to our home.
I see that this movie can be misinterpreted in many ways. Some people may take this message offensive and others may not. It all depends on what the person believes.
I see God in this movie as the Alien who told Wikus that he'd come back for him in 3 years. This scene in my opinion is pretty symbolic of God because God told us as well that he would be back soon for us to take us up to Heaven with him. Wikus is symbolic of the people that God is going to come back to save. The ones who kill the aliens are symbolic of the people who turned away from God and are on the other side.
I think this movie has a lot of suspense and thriller and it's all very sci-fi. But it keeps the audience interested the whole time. Sure it's a little grotesque but it's and interesting portrayal of the world and has a good plot that the audience likes through the whole movie.
