District 9

I haven't seen it but I'm raging at its very premise. Too much subtext, too many fucking obvious messages that even a five year old could catch flying past them at 500mph every 2 seconds. They should've just packed the film full of Indians, Asians, Nigerians, whatever the fuck else race you can think of and been done with it. Whoever wrote this piece of shit must be a huge coward - let's address the subject of racism but through totally fantastical and ridiculous characterisation. LITERAL illegal aliens. How clever. I bet no-one in the fucking world ever made that comparison before.

The contemporary film industry and all of its (not so) hidden messages should stay where it belongs, languishing in disused media studies lecture halls on hard stools stained with the hopes and dreams of a million and one delusional adolescents, soaked with the notion that they will one day create a masterpiece and finally coerce the world into listening, truly listening, to its own relentless criticism.

Yeah, using aliens as a metaphor for a racist society is surely the way achieve that. Fucking idiots.
