Original District 9 Short Film

[aalaniva]

3:25 He's the actor from the full length movie.

[doofuss100]

district 9 was an amazing movie. this may be one of the best shorts i've ever seen.

[AgrivatedKillah]

Kind of pissed that they scrapped the Halo movie for this.

District 9 was an amazing movie..but I'd rather have seen Halo

[LolsoFuny]

@AgrivatedKillah you suck district 9 was the best alien movie and realistic too that i have ever seen halo sucks

[pcookieproductions]

Youth film making????! Check out my channel

[pengubaby]

wasn't this about the people of Johannesburg?

[KarateArdvark]

You know, most of these interviews were real, about different ethnic groups in South Africa.

[iSilverwolf]

Love this clip, I mean its not the real movie or anything like that but it would have been a bad ass clip!

[danonabouncycastle]

Hi guys my name is Dan Allen,

I am 17 and an award-winning film director. I know most of you may not read this but I just wanted to share with you guys my latest short film 'Husky' and find out what you think?

I have been working my ass off towards a career in the film industry since i could press the record button on my mum's old DV camera and haven't looked back since!

You can check out my film on my channel!

Thanks very much for your time and have a wonderful day!

[gadreel23]

This is 1000x BETTER than that so-called movie adaptation of this short! This was MUCH more watchable and made more sense!

[themanfromwem]

That is one darn excellent upload...for a minute i did not know if it wass fact or fiction as i watched...well done, TMFW

[BBnose]

it was so real. like documentary.

[Firecrotch6979]

This would have been better if it was Halo.

[Doryphoroi]

Is that Wikus at 3:18?

[vikashmbhakta1]

@Doryphoroi yep

[SeonhwaDaDiscPriest]

3:42 its Wikus

[CurtisInClothes]

I hope you know it's not ripping anything off.. It's an analogy for apartheid.

[Terro1888]

Glad they used some of the same actors in the feature film. District 9 is a great film.

[SPYK3O]

Ive seen this vefore but I never noticed all the actors that also played in the actual district 9

[REMIXPLPL0ZT]

Wait wait wait a second, that mech has Gravity Gun from hl2!?

[Egth0ridon]

@REMIXPLPL0ZT in the movie it uses it to throw a pig

[masonangus]

better than the actual movie in my opinion 

[edco20]

@masonangus uuugghh its good but the movie's better

[spiceuvlife]

Guys avatar was just a test in graphics to see how far we could push. The plot is exactly the same as Pocahontas and even somewhat Ferngully

[ThePulpMot]

@karanmaxfilms read what you're writing dude. based on a book is not the same as ripping off movies. It's like saying The Lord of the Rings movies are a rip off of Tolkien's books.

[ThePulpMot]

@karanmaxfilms Imaginative? are you serious? Avatar has ripped off a lot of material from other movies. I'd rather watching "Ferngully" and listen to the "Mask of Zorro" soundtrack at the same time than watching Avatar because it would be the same thing!!!

Besides, critics (and mature audience) don't care about CGI or 3D. they love a movie because of its story not the special effects, that's why "Avatar" scored 83% at the "Rottentomatoes" and in the other hand "District 9" scored 91%.

[ThePulpMot]

@karanmaxfilms Oh yeah I don't argue with that, but Avatar just doesn't reach Cameron's prevoius sci-fi movies levels. I don't feel comfortable writing this but I think he has lost his awesomeness.

[JayfuzOMarley]

Dr.Zoidberg ?

[SailorUnicornMoon]

@JayfuzOMarley that's exactly what i thought when i first read about this movie xD

[pnitro3]

@JayfuzOMarley Dr.Zoidberg is not a prawn he is a lobster

[JayfuzOMarley]

@pnitro3 hey! you cant say that, thats their word ! :)

[pnitro3]

@JayfuzOMarley oh noes xD

[dreamofjsfilms]

NICE!!!

[brainsick213]

This is good! The ideas is here...the full length film was probably one of the best sci-fi films I seen in years!

[amitabho123]

RAPE and murder?

Prawns and rape...cannot unthink.

[TheAkmur]

Humans dont want aliens here and the aliens dont want to be here

[hillendfilms]

If anyones interested, check out my first short film, Long Road on my channel hillendfilms and tell me what you think :)

[BenAndSam3]

I'm pretty sure the guy around 3:25 wus in the real movie

[Roulden]

Hey is that victus at 3:25? The guy in armor, thats cool if it is and he also played in the featured movie

[davalosfilm]

@Roulden yeah he was in both. im pretty sure this was his first acting job.

[soychidoese]

what is the song in the end? the drums

[USASOC11]

Was this short film real or fan made or what?

[666Skaterkyle666]

@USASOC11 Yep it's real. Based on the actual aliens that landed in south africa.

[USASOC11]

@666Skaterkyle666 OK, cool. Thanks!

[666Skaterkyle666]

@USASOC11 please say your not serious?

[USASOC11]

@666Skaterkyle666

Obviously im not serious, lol

[USASOC11]

@666Skaterkyle666

i meant was it made by neil blomkamp or not - Not if the aliens were real

[MaintainTelevision]

@666Skaterkyle666 hahahahahahahahahahaahahhahaha

[celticguardian951]

@666Skaterkyle666 Yeea I heard that originally the director wanted to tell the story of South Africa but couldn't show something about the people or racial issues or something (idk I forget) so they made them aliens instead 

[monztar85]

@666Skaterkyle666 white people?

[Dilly890]

78 people are stiff, stuck up, narrow minded, narrow sighted, unimaginative beaurocrats.

[ThePulpMot]

Thumbs up if you agree with this

District 9 > Avatar

[MonsterCupcakeInc]

@ThePulpMot District 9 wins, Avatar wasn't even good

[DonRMB]

@ThePulpMot What's Avatar?... Oh you mean Pocahontas in space? Yeah.. This is definately better

[ipsedixxit]

@ThePulpMot

avatar was a dumbed down version of dune, it was stuffed full of hypocritical philosophies which sailed in on a huge gust of anti american liberalism and scooped up a bunch of cash. it will not stand the test of time. district 9 was a breath of fresh air which the science fiction genre desperately needed. thank you for the originality and ingenuity, i look forward to more. NB gets my theatre cash, JC gets teh torrent at best, avatar is not film

[CCPfilm]

@ThePulpMot This comment makes no sense... you can't even compare the two. That said, both were generally awful movies.

[xxbluejay21]

@ThePulpMot LOL is this a joke?

[Skarloe]

@ThePulpMot Pull your head out of your arse. They're different films.

[AHopelessLegoFan]

@codq I watched Avatar in 2D first time, and I loved it. Like 00samee00 said, its a really fun watch

[theothertylaxguy]

i love how Wikus is played by the same guy...

[TheDgdc]

I actually liked it more than the movie...

[pricture]

Whats with all the fucking hate? FFs ppl, Avatar was a great movie, and so is District 9 get over it.

[10420101]

District 10420101

[kaleckh92]

Is this really happen in reallife?The aliens now at earth?Gone?Like in the movie?

[IDPREFERNOT]

@kaleckh92 Relax, they come in peace. Just like us....

[kaleckh92]

@IDPREFERNOT So did they come?...Can you show me some proff? lol i really interested now..

I would want to see some pictures of the real one.

[IDPREFERNOT]

@kaleckh92 You are the real proof. Look at you in a mirror after awakening in the morning. No offense. It's the same for me.

[kingkonghitme]

I LOVE DISTRICT 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prosurfer2222]

sooo....they had the SCAR assualt rifle in 1990?

[District9Rox]

omg i lov this!!!!

[irealETSnipers]

i wana what tht song is its not on the score 

[phillyphill311]

75 people don't believe in aliens..

[weshockey55]

anybody know the song 30 seconds in?? sounds kinda blackhawk down ish

[BionicleTV21]

that's how CG should be used! watch and learn Michael Bay

[bs1254]

this is a damn freaking original and creative plot and idea for a movie. whoever doesn't appreciate the art of making this movie than zip up.

[DjSkyfaze]

i never noticed that the guy who play wikus was in the original short film

[jomo999]

wooo 3:20 Sharlto, and looking oddly like Christian Bale from this year's 'the fighter', especially with the cap!

[108Dax]

3:46 why did the chicken cross the road? to get away from the fucking killer mech

[TheIVVPLabs]

@108Dax lmao

[kevinmarkfilms]

AWESOME VIDEO!! If you have a minute PLEASE check out my final student film at the University of Utah, titled "NUMERICA" it is a sci-fi drama about a young couple struggling to survive in an overpopulated world where for every child born an adult must volunteer to die. Thanks so much!!!

watch?v=-oT_vMWJy8c

[Nintendotolkein]

that battle suit looks like a microwave on legs (dont get me wrong i liked district 9)

[Sanaa2k]

Does anyone think the idea of this film is really good or is just the political problem that's making this short film what it is and made into and Full Length Cinema Masterpiece

[stickmanpictures01]

Am I the only one who hated District 9?

[jomo999]

@stickmanpictures01 troll

[stickmanpictures01]

@jomo999 No, I'm serious. I fucking hate District 9.

[jomo999]

and that's fine and dandy, but posting that on a video fans of the film will want to watch? That makes you a troll.

Anyway I don't wish for this to devolve into a standard youtube dick fight so I'll just make that my final word,

[stickmanpictures01]

@jomo999 agreed.

[TRIPZMusicUK]

Mst epic movie ever.

[Imat00l]

I've been thinking. Would it be cool if Van der Merwe since he's the smartest prawn(and the most pissed off) leads the prawn colony against the EMU and a prawn invasion lead by Johnson(the prawn that left) for the next movie?

[KisameSouth]

Gotta hand it to Blamkamp, He makes an awesome short film.

[Stanielberries]

the guy at 3:32 is the main guy in the actual film. interesting.

[EGRJ]

@Stanielberries That's actually because he's friends with Blomkamp.

[spikeup11]

That was awesome my teacher told me about this not to long ago

[BlackStar250874]

District 9 is nothing short of amazing. It's so nice to see this first short film, that eventually led to it's creation.

First of all, director's FIRST feature film and a $30 million budget.... Brilliant. Avatar was nothing more than cat-fetish 3D + ultracliche plot/characters. Can fool mindless masses, but that's it.

[pliskin100]

3:30 FOOKIN PRAWNS

[jimmyPain2121]

Peter jackson is far more creative than James cameron

[man0204]

i want a second part of district 9...enyone got news if there will be one

[13lackLight]

did anyone think that the guy in the picture of this video looked like kim jong ill?

[DASpArTaN]

hey at 3:21 its the original guy who played wikus in the new 2009 one.

[D4TSIK]

the original and the other one imo was fucking ace. i loved it

[Videofool12]

THis was GREAT!!!!!!!!

[Silverbach]

Really nice video !

[makegana]

aaaaah was this cg?

[TheDETHKLOKfan001]

is district 9 Actually real?  this is the number one question.

[IsaacGolle]

@TheDETHKLOKfan001 lmao, this is a creative video made to show humanity what assholes we are and how it really will go down when aliens make a real public appearance on earth. We are absolute pigs, we take over everything and control it.

[insanity401]

@IsaacGolle

thats what life is. the struggle to control that part of us.

[ghost321000]

they should have stuck with there original plan on making the halo movie instead

[kosovanwhizkid]

@ghost321000 hey I'm sure a halo movie would have been nominated for an oscar.

[juanscv79]

maybe Cameron should shoot it. At least the story is already there

[DuhyatheSecond]

Gravity gun :D

[trex991]

Awesome movie!

I like to search and watch new short films all the time, and here's another really good short film I found: Write "Goodbye Brian Short Film" in search engine.

Check it out!!

[VinnyLT9000]

D9 was awesome. i blurayed iut to show my support. so symbolic... i hope the racism and opression in south africa ends soon....

[Cartyy]

youtube.com/watch?v=oj6OQwd4L8­Q

[Paintfiend123]

i felt so much for the main 3 characters in district 9 , incredible film

[UnworthyFun]

I love the mockumentary style, my problem is with the later district 9 is that it couldn't decide what it wants to be. The changes between documentary and action/drama is a bit weird. Also I believe that this film is called 'JoBurg' by Neill Blomkamp

[vivaslasjuan]

Saw the movie and thought it wad really good, its one of my new favorites

[jojonr619]

whoever hated this movie deserves to be shot with the pig launcher

[MrXXXlaxXXX]

@jojonr619 idk what a pig launcher is but ya!

[vincentwongxt]

@jojonr619 no they are just primitive creatures that are not wise yet

[AIRSO97]

they should have kept the movie more like the short film instead of on a guy who turns into an alien

[MestizoFilipino]

@AIRSO97 I think it's because the General Public would've lost interest in it that way... and it's all about making money.

[wanttodormir]

Avatar was Pocahontas in 3D, not to creative at all. This short film is a very good idea, but the film was even better!

[Tristanroyr]

the suits look sorta weird and bulky.

[TsukiLune]

@Tristanroyr Looks like a washer on their back...

[hatsuyolorena34333]

enjoy viewing that whole version regarding the following video in a,v,a,t,z.net remove ,

[many9662]

I like this video. Thank you for your sharing. Hope to see next your video.

[fidelarei]

Real profiles and thousands of Russain women  gettop5.info

[kullas924]

excellent job fnally moive that acutallly did its homework on the weapons and cheiles of the human elment and really painted great puicture

[SeonhwaDaDiscPriest]

don't fuck with aliens, specially if there illegal.

[vela2303]

Vickus!!!!!! we love you man!

[Cmcofficial]

that so good like a dream come true

[marlonsolis]

simply unbridled genius!

[robotlsfe]

Crap hogs...ruined Halo

[peacockdreamz]

@robotlsfe erm no... more people wanted to see this over halo. so Hollywood made this. film in a business. life isn't fair get over it.

[MrOcskai]

@robotlsfe

halo is for homos.

[eyepatchentertainmen]

I still find it amazing my movie is featured on Neill Blomkamp's film. 

[squagglenater]

fail robot but it reminds me of gmod

[jpkillah]

ehm the real movie had a real low budge and ther is no hollywood in it

[BecomingCrazy900]

@jpkillah hollywood screwed the orginial stroy man , it has to be set in a town where there is no tom cruise and all

[FiswaT]

Wow, I didn't know the movie was based on this

[9mmFilms]

Amazing how this simple short idea evolved into such a great film

[mypixelstory]

The first thing that pops into our mind watching 'District 9' - 'this actually happened and nobody did anything about it?' same goes for the apartheid..doesn't it?

watch more indie shorts on youtube channel - ||| mypixelstory |||

[inovatvstdios]

i like this better than hollywood version

[frank12364]

@inovatvstdios what?? are u a dumb ass??

[inovatvstdios]

@frank12364 let me see if i get this right.. nooo YOU are the dumbass

[inovatvstdios]

@frank12364 just looked at this again, the hollywood version definitely sucks hollywood balls, just like you do

[loganmonster1996]

@inovatvstdios What are you 12?

[inovatvstdios]

@loganmonster1996 yes i am 12

[loganmonster1996]

@inovatvstdios ...lol

[morgancreate]

is this scene avainable in HD ever? 720 or 1080p

1:19 is massive

[Eukenuba]

"This is very fucking illegal you sneaky prawn"

[riddersam8]

dont point your tentacles at me

[szero38]

Gangbangin Aliens at 1:40

[cfgman09]

Wikus yaaaahhhhh lol 

[poleske]

stupid concept, They are obviously more advanced then us and would completely dominate our bitch asses.

[Dracoti]

@poleske you do realise the film has already been released dont you? a reason is given for them not being able to ''dominate our asses''

[poleske]

@Dracoti I saw the movie, like many Hollywood crapathons this film is shrouded in logic flaws.

1- how does the fucking thing remain floating if they have no fuel?

2- how do these people develop intergalactic travel without developing the ability to communicate digitally with their home planet?

3- why the fuck would people want to have sex with monsters or vice versa?

- Not to mention to fucked up premise. You don't need to invent racial slurs to dehumanize space monsters... They're monsters

[Dracoti]

@poleske look im not here to argue, im just saying. and since its science fiction, there are a whole number of reasons why the thing is floating, like an antigravity field which does not need fuel (indepence day craft had that)

the craft might be theyre home.

point number 3: I dont know :P

[poleske]

@Dracoti I am sorry if I seem combative, I usually comment on political videos. This movie is just especially stupid. I am a person who likes movies to make sense, at least within the logic of the movie. As an anti-racist I see this movie as retarded, the whole point of anti-racism is that we are all human. If there is another species that could potentially take over the role of humanity it is logical for us to fear them.

[Dracoti]

@poleske I often comment on political videos, it's good fun :D

cheers m8 :)

[MurdocLC]

@poleske Ur so full of shit! And they arent monsters just cause they look different! Thats the point and u have proven it to be true.
