District 9 - Wogma Readers Reviews

District 9

Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Trent Opaloch Dir: Neil Blomkamp
wogma rating: Buy the DVD already (?)
quick review: District 9 is a stark tale of how a view from an alternative perspective can change one’s outlook drastically. It is also a film on the cold, brutal nature of profiteering private corporations.

Rahul:

District 9 and Up were released in India on 11 September 2009 - what is the rationale behind reviewing them now? Reviewing a film after most of the people have seen it is kind of pointless in my opinion.

Hi Rahul, We are trying to cover all Oscar nominated films, that's why the late reviews. Also, I didn't have anyone to cover these films when they released. Thanks for sharing your concern. As soon as this round of films is over, we'll come back to doing latest releases.

Rahul:

Thanks for the reply Meetu.
No disrespect meant, but I have a little bone to pick with this review. :) It could have been a little more detailed - there were some little details that I loved in the movie. The South African accent (not a surprise since most of the actors are South African), the action sequences resemble Halo. Somehow it does not seem to do full justice to the movie, does not convey the passion that one might find in the reviewer if a film is genuinely liked.

Hey Rahul! I must confess I have to agree with you here. I loved the film totally. I’ve never played Halo so I couldn’t draw the references.
Personally the film worked for me at different levels. The themes of apartheid and xenophobia were brilliantly portrayed. The filmmaker simply got in prawns instead of non-whites to show how they got treated in SA. It was an amazing metaphor. There was a brilliant touch to how Wikus’ perspective changes when he starts becoming one of them. I’m still getting into the groove of writing a review wogma but will work on saying all these things … without giving the movie away J thanks for the feedback

@Rahul, Mr Singh's reviews seem to be in the air, just check out Avatar. I had pointed out earlier to him that he makes claims but is unable to provide details, but he started offering me personal advice!!!
He loves films allright, so much that he seems to miss out the details!!

Rahul:

District 9 was a film that I loved a lot, so I guess I was expecting a very impassioned review across all boards. :) I guess writing a review without giving the movie away ain't an easy task.

And now a little selfish request - would it be possible to have reviews of more English movies on wogma (since this is the only site that I come for reviews).:)
There were some interesting movies like Moon and Sherlock Holmes which could be reviewed here. Just a thought.

@Manu : We could all try to improve our favourite review site with our suggestions and gloss over life advices. ;) What say?

Ruchita:

D9 is an awesome movie !! Though the review is good it doesn't seem to do full justice to the movie.. like it doesn't shed any light on the brilliance shown in casting.. Or how the story keeps u wondering whether the protagonist will get back in humans or not?
Dint know the story abt district 6... Thanks for the trivia.. Would love to know more ...
I wish they come up with D9 part II soon :)

Hi All,

Good to see people discussing cinema from a critical eye. My appreciation for the site and its so far inhabitants.

Now about the movie. District 9 is one of those movies, which will engage you throughout its duration. The action (not the violence or special effects) is entrenched in the story itself. The expression and portrayal of characters is so brilliant. The acting is good as well, although there's not much of acting except from Sharlto Copley, who in my opinion has done a oscar-nominated job, inside-out. The swing of momentum in the story is aptly kept alight by the great special effects. This is 9/10 star movie. District 10 just might me a 10 on 10.

Vaid, Abhishek
