District 9

Gospel According to [District 9]

The director of this movie is Neil Blomkamp and the producer is Peter Jackson. The film was based on foreign people landing on a country that isn’t there place to be and how others react to them being there. It’s how someone can come and ruin a city by their bad habits and destruction. The creative techniques that captured my attention in this film were the special effects, the angles it was shot at, it was documentary like, and the violence the film showed. There were some really neat parts that showed how technology really just captures most of what the movie is trying to show. Other people might perceive this message as not seeing how being environmentally destructive can effect not just what’s around you but it affects everyone around the world. They might just see it’s about aliens coming to earth and it’s the same thing every other movie brings in but it’s more about that, it’s about an actual event that happened in Africa. I think through everything some people will understand that District 9 has a good background to it. Lifestyles, values and points of view shown in this film are city versus shantytown, good versus bad, how people can ruin a town so easily. It’s showing how when a foreign person comes into your town it just stirs up so much controversy. This message is being sent to basically say that outsiders are not welcome to a city. They need to get out and leave everyone alone. Lastly the only connection to god I got from this movie was when the alien told Wikus that he would be back for him in three years. It reminded me of god coming back for us in the end and taking us away from all the violence in the world.
