parentheses after the bizarre about New Moon, it's time to move away from the often repetitive world of fantasy and advance in what are often more varied and interesting (in my opinion) of science fiction. After a long wait, finally we Italians have been able to see the first work by Neill Blomkamp (with Peter "Lord of the Rings" / "King Kong "/" Braindead "Jackson as executive producer):" District 9 "speaks of apartheid, and it uses aliens and laser beams. Yeah, exactly. The plot, which sees precisely the aliens as refugees in a slum in South Africa, where the government segregates them and exploit them, local people fear them and the gangs are trying constantly to deceive, it is very original, and the first part of the movie truly sad and heartbreaking: in it we see the human protagonist, an agent military government company who knowingly and with taste performs its task, which is to deceive and squeeze the aliens with contempt-called "jumbo shrimp"-and even laughs and smiles when burning a hut full of alien eggs, in which the children already scream of pain. Not too many "spoilers", it said only that an event happens that will bring the protagonist to move slowly on the side of the aliens, and then slowly the last half hour the film becomes a more conventional action fracassone with (almost ) revenge of the good. Nevertheless, the film is recommended for the charm of the plot for the original style "reportage" that is especially suited to the first part and the novel way in which the aliens are shown - not as saviors or destroyers, but only victims of 'man.
