Why watch the movie District 9?
"Typically, alien invasion stories in the cinema are told using strong tones of suspense, thriller, and horror. South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp's "District 9" (from "Chappie") takes a different approach by using an alien plot to address prejudice, gentrification, migration, and apartheid. It's an uncomfortable movie that helps viewers immerse themselves in a believable fantasy reality that evokes different emotions and reminds us of some of the reactions "The Thing" produces. Sharlto Copley's (from "Hardcore: Mission Extreme") performance adds an even more dramatic and disturbing tone to the film, which doesn't shy away from delivering powerful (and sometimes blatant) messages to the audience. Great movie."
