DISTRICT 9 in a stream of consciousness

DISTRICT 9.  Presented by Peter Jackson, directed by Neill Blomkamp.  A masterpiece.  A true work of art.  Emotions, build up.  Edge-of-your-seat action, suspense.  Humans, aliens.  Peace, war, racism, segregation, gangs, slums.  Super-powerful weapons.  Gore, violence.  Strength, weakness.  Friendship, betrayal.  Father, son.  Fight or flight.  Team-work.  Flaw.  Rebirth.  Transformation.  Terror, fear, angst.  Power, manipulation, money, rations.  Dark humor.  Grounded.  Documentary-style.  Shaky-cam, angles.  CGI, RED camera, gorgeous scenery.  Perfect, stunning mix of reality (humans, surroundings) and CGI fantasy (aliens, mothership, weapons).  Sharlto Copley as Wikus Van De Merwe — raw talent.  Brilliant.  Superb.  Best movie of the summer.  Most original storyline, best sci-fi movie in recent memory.  SATISFYING.

 

Cole Haddon (FILM.COM) interviews director Neil Blomkamp.  Excerpt of interest:

CH: Are you up for doing District 10 next?

NB:If the audience wanted another film, yeah, it would be super-cool to go into the backstory of the aliens.

CH: Have you already worked out what it would be about?

NB: Not really. It’s been two-and-a-half years solid making this film. Now that I’m at the end of it, I’ve been caught a little unawares about what I want to do next. I know I’d love to go back to the world of District 9, though, if the audience wants another film.

I want another film.  HELL YEAH.
