9/11 Visit District 9

Whether it's intentional or purely coincidental, I would like to thank Viola for the "Ninth District" visit organized on 9/11. As a bystander in the United States, I really can't think of a more simple, stylish way to commemorate this special day.

The beginning of the visit looked rather vulgar, with a few officials, reporters and experts introducing a large refugee camp in Johannesburg (which was an interesting choice) in a serious or joking manner. The only special place was the refugees. The appearance is really a bit far from the public aesthetics. However, this is not too new. From our ancestors' recording of "Baiyue Tattoo Land" to the modern media reporting on the Congolese civil war, hasn't it always been the same tune? The environment is messy, people are stupid, ugly and savage, in short, they are not the same as "us", so we must draw a clear line. The separation wall...isn't it fresh?

Next, Wikus will demonstrate to everyone how to force the aliens to put a bet on the demolition agreement. This paragraph is all too familiar. The public security urban management broke into the door, and if they refused to accept it, they punched and kicked. Anyone who dared to be a nail household would let him disappear. It was very harmonious. American soldiers arrested the Afghans in the middle of the night, and then threw them into a black jail for a few years. In the final trial, the wrong person was arrested and he was kicked out of the country. So, this is definitely not discrimination against aliens.

Of course, black market transactions are also indispensable in the slums. A super violent robot exchanged for a thousand cans of cat food, and the last hundred were sold. As a result, the cans were chopped before they were taken away. Back then, Europeans and Native American Indians did business this way. A house of gold was exchanged for the life of an emperor. As a result, the gold was collected and people were cut off. No matter how good Pizarro is, he can't beat ten thousand. It seems that it is not a problem of differences in force, but a problem of brains. Good people are deceived by others. It's really strange, there are also millions of alien prawns, and it is said that one or two rogue liars with high IQ should be mutated.

Accidentally went wrong. Comrade Wikus himself had an unexpected 180-degree change of identity. The prince became poor, even worse than "The Metamorphosis", because the government wanted to use him as an experiment. Tissue culture, PCR, and finally a mounted electropherogram for viewing. Fortunately, he is the protagonist, so he survived the disaster, but he can only walk between the yin and yang worlds half human and half shrimp. Well, after two days as a refugee, I will reflect on myself.

Introspection, probably the most rare thing in the world is this. Some scholars believe that empathy is the key difference in cognitive ability between humans and other animals (such as chimpanzees). I think this is a bit high, and even if these scholars are brought in to do the test, they may not be able to pass. It’s been almost ten years since the WTO’s twin towers collapsed, and the American soldiers are still sanctimoniously relying on Afghanistan; the scandal of black prison torture has been exposed for so long, and Bush and Cheney are not yet enjoying their retirement with a lot of pensions, and Rice is still Run back to Stanford at the risk of being drowned by spittle stars. It can be seen that it is difficult to reflect, and they should all be imprisoned in Guantanamo for half a year to experience life.

Halfway through the film, I can't help but think of BabaKiueria, a film I watched while I was listening to an anthropology class. The name is a little weird, right, try to read it, yes, Barbecue Area. It is about the black army suddenly landing in Australia, asking the people who barbecue by the sea where this is, and the answer is: BBQ Area. So Australia changed its name to BabaKiueria and became a country under the colonization of black people. The main content of the film is that a black anthropologist walks into the mysterious white community and shows everyone the weird white culture, including religion and family, everything seems unreasonable... Classic "anthropological works, it is not difficult to find that most of them have a strong preconceived colonialism - anything different from me is abnormal, backward, and sick - so modern humanitarianism does not apply to them, discrimination Rightfully so.

Of course, we should also see the bright side. We have come from slavery all the way to the election of a half-black American president. The changes are obvious, so we should also believe that the future will go further, if it is defined as progress. .

Friends who are not satisfied with the Wikus prawn shape at the end can look forward to the sequel: three years later, the spaceship returns, millions of aliens return home victoriously, and the protagonist and his wife are reunited. However, since everyone has thought of it, what's the point of not shooting this sequel?

    Another classic. Shooting tips that are about to be all the rage. The idea of ​​​​anti-racism can not be used for aliens. The plot is more realistic. Saying this is a story, it is better to say that this is a dream, a messy dream, a sad dream.
