  The next movie I cover will also have D and a number in the title. In the meantime, learn a language with Babbel: <br><a href="https://go.babbel.com/t?bsc=usa-influ-eg-dt-1m&amp;btp=default&amp;utm_term=generic_v1&amp;utm_medium=paidsocial&amp;utm_source=YouTube&amp;utm_campaign=filmento&amp;utm_content=Influencer..Apr-2024..USA-TATAM..1200m60-yt-filmento-apr-2024">https://go.babbel.com/t?bsc=usa-influ-eg-dt-1m&amp;btp=default&amp;utm_term=generic_v1&amp;utm_medium=paidsocial&amp;utm_source=YouTube&amp;utm_campaign=filmento&amp;utm_content=Influencer..Apr-2024..USA-TATAM..1200m60-yt-filmento-apr-2024</a>

  As a South African, I’m really proud of this movie. As a young aspiring filmmaker, I never thought we would be able to produce this level of sci-fi and art in such a way that it grabs the attention of the world. Neil Bloomkamp (the director) truly changed my life with this movie and showed me that filmmaking in South Africa, when done right, can mesmerise audiences around the world.

  District 9 is a perfect sequel to a movie that doesn&apos;t exist

  It’s insane how this film was birthed from the ashes of the original Halo film. You can tell from some of the props

  One of the best alien movies so far. No freackin american military propaganda and stuff... Whether we get a sequel or not, I will always love this movie.

  In the opening “man on the street” interviews, they got regular South Africans and asked them their opinion of aliens — the real migrant human beings actually living there. The most appropriate ones were then aired, just with the context of the movie changing what sort of aliens their genuine answers were about.

  Emotion was the key driver of this movie, I remember seeing it with my family right when it came out. It honestly didn’t even feel like a science fiction movie, more of a metaphorical mockumentary with a sci-fi theme

  I put this movie on as background noise when I was sick and fourteen. Ended up sobbing my eyes out and ranting to anyone who would listen about it. No wonder!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97j2thJqqh0&amp;t=300">5:00</a> the fact that the aliens can&apos;t understand what&apos;s going on reinforces the ideas of the film, rather than being the typical overshadowed point. They are being subjected to a &quot;legal process&quot; that they don&apos;t participate in.

  Nothing has mad me cry harder, than the desperation on the face of Christopher.
