If somebody gives you a "flower", you accept it, right?

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2010)

You know that many people hated Alien 3. Even the movies in IMDb Bottom 100 that some people are sorry for haven't been treated like that. However, my objection is that there are not really credible or really valid reasons of people. Alien 3 was entertaining, it was dark, it was suspenseful, bizarre (in a good way) harsh etc. but many people did not care about it and it is the same for District 9. The opening sequence of the movie, the introduction part in documentary style was extremely realistic, but at the same time very exhausting, I missed the half of it, it was because I watched the film with subtitles, so couldn't follow that part. The aliens in the movie are the most realistic and also intelligent ones in science fiction cinema history! The visual effects are flawless, again realistic. They look even better than the blue people of Avatar. Wikus is an unlikeable character, not a hero, not an anti hero either, he is a selfish guy, he thinks only himself, again realism here! There were some bloodcurdling, nasty details in the movie: sexual contact stuff. There is an experiment part in the movie, it is cliché, but personally I did not mind it, because the movie is dramatically very powerful, its breaking points are brilliant. If you are not against catharsis, this is your movie. In terms of action, the movie is a fresh, dynamite-like, captivating work. This movie is genius. District 9 has hundreds of themes, subtexts and metaphors. It is a satire, it is a thought provoking film. Let me tell you what I saw briefly. Basically, this movie is about humanity. Furthermore, cruel or sadistic people enjoy harming other "people". In the final act, there are some wow moments, I just say I was heavily impressed by the movie. May be in the final act, the movie becomes cliché, conventional a little bit, but I didn't mind. There are some real gore moments, while watching, I said to myself, these scenes must be the idea of Peter Jackson. As for the ending, it is an ending that most of the movies wouldn't dare! but the last image was too naive and unnecessary for such an intense film. Some people might find it ridiculous, but if somebody gives you a "flower", you accept it, right?
