Movies: District 9


The previews definitely for this movie definitely caught my eye. Shot partly documentary-style, this movie is about the internment of aliens in a Johannesburg shanty town. It's easy to pick up on the racial undertones. Picture "Cry The Beloved Country" with lasers, kind of like Darth Vader meets Umfundisi (get it? they're both James Earl Jones). Except not at all. It's actually more like a sci-fi version of "Blood Diamond" with graphic violence. Not a bad movie.
