HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Just watched it.
I waited 6 hours for this Russian bootleg version with subtitles to finish downloading, and every minute of waiting I endured was completely and utterly worth it.
Honestly, going into District 9, I really didn't know what to expect. Other than the trailer and the viral marketing campaign, there wasn't much about the premise other than the fact that aliens landed over Johannesburg and they were being kept in the titular District 9. But, when I watched it I realized it wasn't at all what I had expected, but in fact, a whole lot better.
I love how the filmmakers purposely made Wickus resemble Hitler, although I think they should have somehow had him shave his moustache off after his "transformation" to sort of symbolize his transition from a discriminatory and prejudice character to a man who sympathizes with the Prawns. I also liked the very subtle foreshadowing that was used (e.g.: when the Nigerian druglord is talking to Wickus, he is smoking a cigarette. You see smoke billowing out of the butte and out towards the side of his head, foreshadowing his death by point blank shot to the forehead).
All in all, I loved the movie and it was actually kind of sad, but at the same time extremely intense. Definitely one of the best of 2009, and I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.
