A gracious alien arm

For me, "District Nine" was a turning point in my re-acceptance of alien films. The era when I was crazy about alien films was in junior high school. After that, I began to reject American disgusting alien films, because later films always like to get wet. The monster likes to spit and drip some unknown liquids. In short, it feels very disgusting, so after high school, college, and work, he will be very resistant to special-shaped films. I think it is just two words: disgusting!
But this bitterly watched "District Nine" made me feel very kind and warm. This afterthought is purely closely related to my personal experience. I remember that junior high school was in 1995. At that time, we had a midnight theater in Shaanxi TV. We kept showing some sci-fi and alien films. I always watched it alone after the whole family was asleep. I didn’t feel horrible or disgusting at all, or even something. I feel that there is also a movie about a robotic arm, which is very enjoyable to watch. In a quiet night, after watching this shocking film alone, I am always like a werewolf on a full moon night, with great pride in my heart, and I will give endless support and affirmation to the protagonist of the film! At the same time, I look forward to some aliens or aliens who can come to me one day. Haha, a junior high school boy, what can't you think about?
Get to the point!
The so-called other people are hell, whether you accept it, it is kind and lovely, whether you accept it, it is ugly and disgusting if you don't accept it.

The most heartbreaking thing is that he rose up when he fell into the despair of being abandoned, accepted the present self, and tried his best to change the present self. The abandonment of others cannot change his own efforts.
When I can no longer serve me, the destiny of being subverted and abandoned cannot be changed, and I can only try my best, just like this ordinary Wicks is honest and diligent for most of his life, living very sincerely. . Of course, it also returns to the Hollywood-style film thinking that small people often accomplish big propositions.
I am thinking that it is precisely this kind of thinking that attracts fanciers and achieves box office. That's why I, who is young and crazy, always think that someday aliens will come to me.
The arm of many years ago and the "arm" of today finally echoed in my memory, making my history of watching alien films end the chronology, so I am cordial.
