The Gospel According to WALL-E: District 9

Honestly, I don't even know what to say about this movie. I'm not one for alien movies and, quite honestly, I didn't really enjoy this movie. I thought that it was really sad and depressing, especially when the main character started transforming into an alien. What they put him through in the name of science is never ceased to amaze me. When they put the real alien in front of the gun and made him shoot, I just about lost it. The alien had done nothing to them and they took his life from him.

The way the agency treated the aliens when they were evicting them also hurt me. Sure, what the aliens were doing was wrong, but that's no excuse for the people to treat them as badly as they did. The scene where they're going around, basically telling the aliens that they need to sign their lives away. Most of the aliens refused to sign their eviction notices, angering the agency who was evicting them. If they got so much as a scribble out of the alien's they said that counted as a signature.

The one good thing about this movie was that it made me realize what lengths people will go to in order to get what they want. Or worse, how unkind humanity can be toward one another. My eyes have definitely been opened to the world around me and I have a greater understanding now.
