District 9 By Sarah Deschênes The work is given to Mr. F.J. Bonkowski For the class of English 102b-01 Cégep of Saint-Laurent – October 7th, 2010
Last week, we’ve been talking in groups about a movie that we saw. (16) My movie was called: District 9. This movie is classified like(6) a science-fiction movie about alien (15) and war. The story of this film is kind of hard to understand because there’s a lot of politics in this film. It’s the story of Wikus Van de Merwe, a nerd guy (6) who work (12) for the MNU, a govermental (15) institution that works on the alien problem. Because Wikus is dating his boss’dauther (15), he got a better job and he started to work on the field. This (6) is at this moment (6) that we really see the special effects like (6) the aliens or explosion or even gun (15) from the alien (15) (that are really stronger than ours (15)guns). On the field, Wikus got infected by a liquid who (6) make I’m (6) transform (12) in (6) an alien. The rest of the story is (6) how Wikus try (12) to return as (6) his first form, a human. He got friendly with an alien an (15/6) started to understand their situation. At the end of the film, he don’t (12) have the choice to understand it, he (12) got to understand it.
I read a text about this film, it was called: “District 9”: Neill Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley are the ones to watch. This texte (15) was a review from Mark Farnsworth that I found on (6) internet (17). Farnsworth says in his review that District 9 is one of the better (6) movie (15) of the decade in his(6) categorie. He says that the special effects are so good, so real, that he forgot it was only a movie. He really tought (15) that there was an alien mothership in the sky of Johannesburg and that the aliens were really living in a ghetto called District 9. His opinion is that none of the parts were bad and he recommended to everyone to watch this film (6/9). I remember that Farnsworth said that the producer, Neill Blomkamp, is a good one and that (10) should watch for his next films, they’re going to be great ones.
The second text that I read was called: District 9 (Neill Blomkamp 2009). This text has been written by Eric Mahleb. His opinion is a little bit different from the opinion of Farnsworth up there. He says that District 9 isn’t a major film in the categorie of science-fiction. The opinion of Mahleb (9) is that it looks a little bit like an amator (6) movie. There is (12) part (6/15) of the story that aren’t “realistic”. One of them (9) is that the liquid that Wikus get (12)infected with is the gaz for the spaceship of Christopher (6), Wikus’alien friend. Mahleb says that it’s not as realistic as the rest of the movie. There is one thing that the author of the review loved about District 9, it’s that the producer succeed (12) to make (6) such great special effects with such a low budget. It cost 30 millions to produce this film and a lot of movie (15) cost a lot more for the same level of special effects. He recommended the film to science-fiction lovers, not to the (6) people who doesn’t (12) appreciate science-fiction movie enough.
My appreciation of this movie is simple. (16) I really liked it. There was enough action to make the story actually interesting and the science-fiction special effects were really impressing. I was surprise (15) to love this movie because usually, I don’t love those kind (15) of movie. But the actors, even the alien (15), had real emotions, I was able to see the sadness in the eyes of Christopher (6) when he saw his friend dead. I also appreciate (12) the facts (15) that they use (12) the mystery of a secret zone of the government where they were doing (6/12) some analyze(6) on aliens. Even if the end was predictable, the movie was really great and I (12)recommend this film to people like me who like films with action, politics and sentimal aspects (6).
