YES that is one huge reason i found district 9 disappointing. you are wise, indeed. and the story of oppression, thugs, smart and normal entities reduced to the level of animalistic (no speciesist meaning intended) survival, and refugees; all familiar themes. slightly more freaky but understandable when happening to aliens, and, compelling (i cried at the first confrontation of dude with the father alien) but not really new. i expected daring social commentary. also victor pointed out many realistic holes in the plot, which i might or might not have noticed on my own, which were irritating. like, if even one alien stole one alien gun, um, maybe they could have made some headway in the escape, or at least, non-ghetto-living, department. and, i was surprised that Wikus gave in to his conscience at last. so, many things. expectations are often a problem for me. am working on that. i expect it will go well, eventually. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350590608692410944noreply@blogger.com
