My District 9 Movie Review

Here„'s the absolute truth. I am objective enough to realize that it was
in fact a really good movie. The cinematography deserves massive applaud and the script was well written. The central theme of the movie was conveyed very nicely.

However, I think Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp could have made their point without disrespecting an entire nation. It would be one thing if only one ethnic group was maligned in the process, but when you go ahead and badmouth an entire nation on a
global stage without even thinking twice about it, shows a lack of character, and professionalism that is just downright appalling in people of such caliber.

Dude, you're bitching. You wouldn't say this if they replaced Nigerians with any other nationality.

I mean be real, plz.

You and Nigeria are whining; very sensitive.

There are plenty of movies that focus on nations, and don't portray them to the best, and you aren't arguing for them.

So in closing, I just wanna say: sorry about that.

[MythicVoice]

Don't judge man, just cause I don't put up a video every time I have a problem with offensive material doesn't mean that I don't speak up when it's necessary.

In short. I guess you are right. I am bitching, but then again, so would anybody else who cared about their country's image and it's certainly no crime to ask to be treated with respect

[rtoriq]

i'm not nigerian, but i agree with you 1000%. Those parts w/ the Nigerians was not only f*cked up, but it was soooooooooooo stupid and pointless. Seriously, aside from being the people to run to for guns, those characters empowered themselves by eating human flesh and killing -- USELESS FOR THE PLOT -- and the director has the nerve to tie those creatures to Nigeria? Just stupid typical cracker media behavior.

Anyyyywaaayyyyyyyyyyy. They did this cuz they knew thw whole world would agree with them. Everyone is so frustrated with NIgerian trickeries, and that's why everyone at the movie theater was laughing. Sorry, though.

Wow I kept on complain about the same thing. Why couldn't they call the gangsters and not fuck up an entire reputation of a country. What is kinda worse is how we still have not gotten a response from the film makers!

[kevcj]

but you're just being in idiot about this movie 'cause they depicted nigerians as the ones who treated the aliens like dirt. If that's what you think then you're completely wrong cause not only did blacks treat them like that, ANY human black and white treated those aliens like shit.

[kevcj]

Actually it's PURE respect to all africans who suffered in the apartheid many many years ago. The way all humans treated the aliens in this film was cruel and unhuman. They treated them as if they were DIRT. Just as white people treated black people during the apartheid. As i watched District 9, i felt for the aliens 'cause they clearly did NOT deserve that treatment. They looked for rebellion and nothing more. I'm white and i felt it in the sense that black people suffered in the same way.

Fuck Nigerians, they all stink. Im more concerned about the aliens feeling. Come on Nigeria, the world know what you are, but really scamming the aliens with cat food, lol you fools!!!!!!!!!

[nknejad]

Are you serious dude? You have to stop being so sensitive to that stuff. Your compliants reminded me of some pple that were mad about 300 because the persians were depicted badly. Im persian and it didnt bother me. I didnt exactly like the movie but not because of any race-sensitive reasons, and in 300 they didnt even make many of the persians human. so a gang of Nigerian gangsters in a SA slum shouldnt bother you this much especially when its not completely unrealistic at all.

@Brendan3D The whole incident is covered up to protect the moral stance of the company whose real interest is using dealing alien weapons for profit. The representation is about humanity there is no racism as its generalising humanities flaws. sorry for the typos..
