main character was bleeding when he cut his tentacle. Also, why would he refer to them as his people then, and the fact that he had a son... orcould operate the alien ships and things. too many things make that theory impossible.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
I have a question, but I'll throw it in the spoiler...
Spoiler [+]so I've been reading various sites on the movie, and there are some rumblings that Christopher at one time MAY have been a human. Someone noticed that his eye sockets of all things seem very "human-like." Going off of the Christopher/human theory, he was bleeding when he was getting beaten by the soldier towards the end of the movie. I can't remember off hand, but did any of the other aliens bleed when injured?

I don't think the theory is too far-fetched....Remember, Wikus was able to operate all the weaponry with NO problems (remember when he had the suit on) within 72 hours after being exposed to that goo in the vial. Christopher Johnson had been held captive for 20+ years in South Africa...I think it's plausible that at one point in his life (not just in District 9) he may have been human....not to mention the movie never stated if the Aliens had been to Earth at another time before being stranded in SA.
I'm thinking he was one of the original aliens since he knew a lot about the ships and their home planet (when he was talking to his son).Originally Posted by DoubleJs07

1.They where drones. They couldnt think for them selves they where like ants whitout there queen.Originally Posted by Apolloburningstar
My only 2 gripes were why the "prawns" didnt use their advanced technology to their advantage, and how smart the young "prawn" was. or maybe...that there were seemingly only 2 smart prawns out of millions?

2. Well christopher was one off the smarter prawns they even say it when there trying to evict em. Im think he taught his son alot of there home world and the ship. like an emergancy plan if something went wrong the lil kid would know what to do.
I really enjoyed this movie i dont why some people didnt dig it but to each there own. This is the movie of the year for me it had me. After the movie all i was thinking was dam imagine what couldve been if he wouldve done halo instead.
Originally, Neill Blomkamp was contacted by Peter Jackson to direct Halo, a film based on the video game series of the same name. When this project did not turn out due to internal disagreements between Fox, Universal and Microsoft, Jackson and those involved felt obligated to give Blomkamp financial support and a chance to direct another film, and it was decided that the short film Alive in Joburg could be expanded into a feature instead.[sup][3][/sup] According to Jackson, District 9 was born "the day Halo [the film] died."
What could have been...

They explained his son? I must have missed that....what was it again?
When they first came to Christopher's home, Wikus threatened to take his son.
Wikus - "Is this your boy?"
Christopher - "Yes, that's my child."
Wikus - "You see these living conditions, this isn't suitable for a child. I will take your boy if you don't sign this eviction notice."
Christopher - "He's my son, you will not take my son."
And it's also mentioned multiple times by Wikus.
