"Raka" has a similar plot to "The Ninth District". In 2020, aliens will occupy the earth, killing, experimenting and domesticating human beings. Human beings are stubbornly resisting in the case of heavy losses. However, "The Ninth District" is from a small point of view, showing the scene of aliens occupying people and the male protagonist's struggle to survive in a quarantine area; while "Raka" overlooks all living beings. To describe the indifference, the grey smoke billowing, the fortresses of alien black nanometers standing, and the lizard aliens staring at you to control your mind, this intrusion has gone beyond the secrecy, it has become the conquest of the ghoul, and now Those who fight may just change the way of death. too dark.
Having seen so many alien invasions, director Neil Blomkamp's works always have a strange coldness, not the harmony of warmth, or the fierceness of two pairs of swords, but the misery of human beings being suppressed. Instead, there is a kind of indifference and sadness of bystanders, and when looking down at the ground from the air, this sadness becomes heavier and heavier.
So this 20-minute film, I couldn't even eat. However, imagine that if it is made into a film of normal length, the charm may become shallow.
