On another note, I'm not surprised about the racist undertone of this movie and Peter Jackson's involvement, given that in all of "Middle Earth" there wasn't one black face (Lord of the Rings Trilogy). Even though I liked that movie, I saw the orcs as the black race destroying the great white planet...
i gave that a pass though since it was filmed in new zealand, and there's not much black folks there, so there wouldn't be many extras. And it was based on families, so making a main character black and flying in a whole guild of black folk would prolly be pricey and scoffed at by producers. Wait, doesn't New Zealand have a huge aboriginal population?

Why would a movie, a metaphor for the apartheid, with a goal of educating people on the racist history in Africa, also be overtly promoting a racist agenda?
With the degree to which you actively pursue racism, it's almost like you'd rather racism be present, than not present, just so you can point it out to people and prove to us racism is still alive.

Paradoxically, in his world of foreign detainees, there is very little room for natives-that is to say, very little room for humanity. The white protagonist, Wikus van de Merwe (Sharto Copley), is an over-eager, nepotistic klutz who never quite loses his selfish streak. Although ostensibly anti-segregation, the film operates on the same racial stereotypes that inspire segregation in the first place. For example, the most prominent black figure in the film is pagan Nigerian gangster who ritualistically consumes flesh (at the behest of his witch doctor), believing this practice will transform him into an alien himself.
And the degree to which i;m "scrutinizing" the film, pales in comparison to the hundreds of hours that film makers take to make sureeach image conveys a message.
The racism may be the result of a skewed personal outlook on Blacks and the apartheid situation or perhaps a well-intentioned but mishandled depiction but itsdefinitely there.

So you didn't read anything in the thread did you? He is not the only one who shares these sentiments. Professors and critics have madestatements regarding the blatant stereotypes in the film.Originally Posted by CE0 Mal

No, I read most of the thread; most of the longer posts on each page. And he's the only one on here I can have a conversation with or state my opinion, ifthese profressors and critics were on NT, as well, then of course I would include them and would probably direct similar opinions toward them.
Y'all dudes are something else...Originally Posted by CE0 Mal

Seriously though, just do you. If you think he's an idiot and hes reaching, using your logic it wont matter to him anyways, so just ignore it. Its meant to be a discussion on the issue.

They were prosecuted by humans, despite being more powerful. MNU people were white and they were "bad guys." Wikus wasnt a good guy, he was a nobody, and a selfish coward. It was only towards the end that he grew into something sort of like a hero because of his sympathy towards the alien and his son. And all of district nine was like a slum, the africans (i dont think thats the proper term, not sure though, a percentage of south africans are white) so its somewhat understandable for the nigerians to be portrayed that way.

The Aliens were a noble and persecuted peoples (basically parallel to the black race) who just wanted to go home but were the subject of persecution.
The Africans were killed in the most brutal, graphic and gory manners and there was not 1 African in the movie with redeeming qualities.
They even had little subconscious attacks, like the little alien "pet/animal" feeding on the brains of the black dead body.
