District 9

This movie came out in 2009. It was directed by Neill Blomkamp. The starring actor is Sharlto Copley. This movie’s genre is science fiction. This story is affected by the policy of apartheid in South Africa. This movie’s Japanese title is (第9地区).

Plot

In 1982, aliens came to Africa. They began to live as refugees in district 9, because their spaceship was breaking. But, the people disliked them and people strongly discriminated against them. People began to call them “prawns”. 28 years later, the people made a plan to let them emigrate. Vikas (Sharlto Copley) negotiated to aliens for the plan. But then he was injected with a mystery liquid. Thereafter, accidents happened to his body one after another and he was chased by people.

Good point

This story is very interesting, exiting and easy to understand. This movie’s idea is very interesting. For example, aliens like  cat food, people call aliens “prawn”, aliens can speak English, and so on. This movie makes us think about racial discrimination.

Bad point

This movie has some shocking scenes. I don’t recommend it for children or when you are eating a meal. This movie’s title is very sober, and the aliens design is bad.

Summary

I enjoyed and liked this movie very much, but ｗhen you are eating a meal, I don’t recommend watching this movie.
