Generally speaking, the more absurd stories are, the more profound the implication is. "Clash of civilizations" is a theory of international relations put forward by American scholar Huntington several years ago. He believes that the essence of various conflicts in the world has nothing to do with economic interests, ideology, etc., but the core lies in the so-called "civilization". conflict". "Civilization" here has many manifestations, and it is a combination of blood, race, language, culture, etc.; while "conflict" also has various manifestations such as struggle for voice, economic friction, and even direct war.
The movie "District 9" made an apt metaphor for aliens - we treat aliens from different civilizations the same way humans treat aliens in the film. Strangeness leads to fear, while exclusion leads to widespread bullying and ultimately terrorism among the marginalized and vulnerable. Humans and aliens, whites and blacks, even America and Iraq.
In the setting of the ending, "The Ninth District" is relatively pessimistic - the "Clash of Civilizations" cannot be resolved peacefully in the end, the weak and the ruined fled the earth in a hurry, and the unfortunate who were struggling in the cracks died. Different civilizations are always incompatible, just as we can never defy the wheel of history. After the mess, virtually everyone became a victim.
The film's use of a "pseudo-documentary" approach is just right. According to the schedule, "The Ninth District" will be released in mainland China at the end of this month. This is actually a profound film with metaphors, and I hope it can bring us more reflection, more understanding and more tolerance.
