innovation and communication: these are the adjectives that I personally find most suitable to define District 9. And the fact that the film in question belongs to a particular genre fiction is no small feat, which I believe enhances further the merits of the director Neill Blomkamp .
The story of the arrival of aliens on earth in the 80s. Their mother ship is placed on the city of Johannesburg and within it are found about a million extra-terrestrial malnourished and in poor condition.
What should be the "first contact" is transformed into a humanitarian mission ... apparently ...
the prawns (just renamed to immediately look like crustaceans) are contained in District 9.
After two decades, following the repeated protests of the population of Johannesburg, resulting in a real revolt, it organized a mass eviction of all the aliens to move into a more distant from the city.
head of the mission complex is placed Wikus van de Merwe , seemingly mediocre character and animated by a form of contempt or at least very little consideration and respect to the alien species. During one of his visits, in the misguided attempt to find extra-terrestrial weapons, he is exposed to a substance that soon to trigger a genetic mutation in him: his body begins to transform into that of an alien. Face value for the international agency dealing with aliens finally will be able to test the many extra-terrestrial weapons recovered in the years (and used only by the same aliens). Van de Merwe is a predator finds prey, hunted and repudiated by the entire human race. It 's only at this point that he actually takes awareness of the inhuman conditions for years that the aliens were forced, and above all of the experiments and abominations committed against them.
will try to save himself and to complete a path of redemption ...
Under the moral District 9 expressed a strong warning against segregation and against the indifference and political and economic interests that abusing the rights and needs of immigrants. The metaphor is simple and obvious: the aliens as refugees.

In this context, the director adopts tricks that make it even more effective, and appear very successful attempt: first the population of Johannesburg in the presence of aliens facing (At one point, one of the people interviewed said: " came from another country would understand, but I'm not even on this planet " ), then a gang of Nigerians, who settled in the same order of District 9 "doing business" with the aliens (in fact the purpose is only exploitation).
directing style is characterized by a continuous mixing of metaphors, stories and grotesque fantasy-action components (sometimes even splatter). The result is a narrative scorrevolissima and original.
A movie not to miss for those who are not fond of genre fiction.
