"D9" Highlights Bondage of the Disadvantaged With Great Subliminal Humor!

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2009)

"D9" demonstrates an aggressive disrespect for the aliens which can be likened, it made me think, to the underprivileged and how humans of power subjugate the less fortunate. Humans have been doing this forever. We will never learn. Aliens fall prey to the same, inbred weakness of those in power: We may not understand you, but we can and will control you. That's one of the messages I got from this rather, quirky (in a good way) movie. The other thing I really appreciated was the excellent humor of it all. Especially when actor Sharlto Copley, who offers an academy award performance as "Wikus Van De Merwe", who gets the top job to go through "D9" interviewing the aliens and getting them to quickly sign the moving agreement/contracts because we got to move them to another location. Realize that there are 1.8 million to move and they go in, hut by hut, getting these signatures, shooting anything that even looks like a problem. Hilarious! Wikus is married to the daughter of the big boss. The big boss says that relationship had nothing to do with the appointment. Wikus is great. The humans with the guns don't shoot first, then ask questions. No. They shoot first and don't ask questions! It's all part of the general idea illustrated by the director to not show any respect whatsoever for these creatures. That's what we do. If we don't understand you, we are certainly not going to respect you. That's not a criticism. It's an undeniable short coming of ours. Now, as for the space craft. What an innovative idea to have one parked, as in 'broke down' over a major, world city! My thoughts concerning the UFO: Little known, in July 1956, 300 people were witness to perhaps the most spectacularly-defining UFO event ever and were sworn to TOP-SECRECY concerning an actual mother-like ship, that was observed over the White Sands Missle Range, that was sitting at the geo-synchronous orbit (approx. 23,000 miles above the range) for approx 12-hours and recorded (filmed) using Mitchell Hollywood-quality, B&W and color film -- thousands of feet, using an IGOR telescope mounted on a gun mount, producing exquisite pictures and triangulated by two separate crews, who happened to be doing missile telemetry testing, being fired off fighter aircraft of the day, which missions were scrubbed to film the alien craft. They estimated the craft to be 8 to 10 miles wide, based on comparatively accurate measurements. One eye witness, who viewed the craft through a 60X-power, sighting scope said it looked cigar like, and very smooth but without any tapering at the ends, and had what looked like "moving rivets" (smaller craft) flying in and out of it. Over 50-years ago; the witness is in his 70's and still most reluctant to be the first to speak out publicly on this. Our government has known about this since then yet they continue to dupe us; deny; and keep us uninformed. (It makes one wonder what really lurks deep in our government...so far removed from the original, founding father's motivation of a government for and by the people). The point is, the movie is worth seeing: There are unexplained circumstances that prove we are under examination from either other worlds or advanced peoples yet unknown to us, from this world. How will we treat them? Probably the same way we treated the aliens in "D9" or any other less fortunate or displaced people on earth. The circumstances appear to be the only way the truth of UFO's/aliens will ever be accepted. Parked where all can see and the government has no option but to recognize their reality. Otherwise, governments, ours included will continue to deny in order to keep their own self importance at the forefront. World governments: What are you afraid of? Let "D9" be the governmental catalyst of making all files being released to the public, worldwide, where all the world can review and decide our place within this structured universe -- and do it BEFORE one parks over US -- making your continued, perpetual denial look foolish and your lies categorically witnessed by all. We the people demand an end to this form of intellectual bondage that you are holding over us!
