In 1990, an alien spacecraft stopped over Johannesburg, South Africa. People were both fearful and curious, but there was no movement from the spacecraft. In the end, humans forcibly entered the interior of the spacecraft and found a group of severely malnourished alien creatures, which looked like prawns and were called "shrimp people". They, for some reason, came to Earth, alien refugees. Humans placed them on Earth and called the area where they lived as District IX.
Twenty years later, in 2010, the alien refugees in the ninth district continued to multiply and grow, with a population of 1.8 million. They learned human language and could communicate with humans, but the contradictions with the surrounding humans became more and more acute. More and more people are calling for their expulsion from the earth. They have advanced technology, weapons and power are stronger than humans, MNU and the local underworld want to acquire their weapons, although it requires genetic identification, humans can not use. Some even want to eat the body parts of alien refugees to gain their great powers. The alien refugees have a strong desire for human cat food, and are even willing to exchange it for their own weapons.
For reasons of conflict with humans, the MNU decided to move them to a more remote location, where they were kept in narrower tents and managed as concentration camps. To this end, they sent Vikus from the Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs to inform each of the alien refugees and ask them to sign an agreement. In the process, Vikus took a rude and coercive attitude, doing everything to get the alien refugees to move away in order to do the important job he was expected to do well. He also found that there were forty or fifty unborn cubs hatching in the eggs in a household. On the grounds that it did not meet the population plan, he personally pulled out the supply of nutrient solution for several eggs, and sent people to set fire to the whole house. In the process, Vikus was extremely excited and proud of his actions.
During a forced relocation, Vicus found a tube containing black liquid. He was very curious, but accidentally let the black liquid spray his face. Immediately he felt extremely unwell, but quickly returned to work, which was so important to him that he must not screw it up. Soon, Vikus developed new symptoms, his teeth and nails began to fall out, and even the echo of a shrimp man appeared in his brain. Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer, he vomited black liquid, and was sent to the first aid after fainting. center.
Vikus's condition deteriorated sharply, his left hand became the claw of the shrimp man, but the medical staff ignored his feelings and used him for experiments, and let him shoot the shrimp man with the weapon of the shrimp man in his left hand, And found that his genes are a perfect fusion of humans and shrimp people, and he can use shrimp people's weapons. Vikus was tortured and eventually escaped on his own. The condition is still deteriorating, and other parts of his body are also mutating. For this reason, he covered his left arm with a rag and found the shrimp family who found the black liquid. The Shrimp Man also had his own name, it was Christopher Johnson, and Wycus learned that Christopher was collecting that black liquid, and that he had a take-off thruster under his own house, and with enough black liquid as fuel, he could take off. , fly back to their ship, and back to the Shrimp's own planet. If Vikus wants to turn back into a human, he needs to return to his planet and bring the corresponding medicine.
To this end, Vikus teamed up with Christopher, and they used the Shrimp Man's high-end weapon to break into the MNU and recapture the small tube of black liquid. But then, Vikus learned that Christopher would return to his home planet for three years, his faith collapsed, he knocked Christopher out, and they would all be controlled by MNU people.
At the last moment, Vicus and Christopher released their suspicions and cooperated again. Christopher successfully flew off the ground, returned to the spacecraft, returned to the home planet, and promised to come back in three years. Vicus stayed on Earth and waited.
One day, Vikus's wife received a metal flower, and not long ago, the kind rose of the creature's nature was gleaming in the claw of a prawn.
As a film discussing the relationship between humans and aliens, "District 9" puts humans on the upper hand and aliens as refugees. This is undoubtedly very creative, and the human protagonist Vicus, who had no sympathy for alien creatures, was terrified when he found out that he was about to become a shrimp man. cooperate. He was still doing it for himself. When he learned that Christopher would be back for three years, he knocked him out and broke down emotionally. But he was still kind in the end, regardless of his identity, he just wanted to let Christopher move back to rescue the soldiers and save thousands of shrimp people from water and fire. At this time, he had risen to a higher spiritual realm and reached the level of civilization.
The MNU in the film is completely negative. They treat the shrimp man rudely and use Vikus as an inhumane experiment. The ugliness of human nature is particularly evident in them. Christopher's violent bloodbath in the MUN building slaughtered human beings and was very happy and happy. The family members represented by Wikus' wife in the film have complicated feelings for Vikus. On the one hand, they believe in Vikus and his heart, and on the other hand, they have to be influenced by public opinion and the public. good. The shrimp people represented by Christopher are the same as humans, but they are very different in appearance. He also has his beloved children and close friends, and he will slam the door like a human when he is angry.
The Shrimp Man's obsession with cat food and the design of the local underworld boss is a bit unintelligible, but it adds a lot of color to the film in a certain level.
Watching this film teaches us to rise to the macro perspective of civilization and life to consider issues. The demarcation between good and evil is still not clear here. In the face of conscientious choices, stand up for yourself, even if it runs counter to most opinions or even dictatorships within your own group. Stick to kindness. When kindness is engraved in your bones, everything you do will be like the metal rose that symbolizes love, always exuding the dazzling light of an angel in human nature.
