Would you have liked the movie more if Tila was in it?

 

i downloaded this movie.. and it was stupid. i'm glad i didnt pay to see it.

and of course Tarantino is obsessed with feet so there has to be a foot scene in the dumb movie.

 

great movie. i love his style of movies

 

Temporary thread jack:

Can someone please explain the appeal of District 9? I was intrigued by the previews, but after seeing it, I couldn't get into the story or any of the characters. I tried to enjoy anything at all about that movie but ended up trying not to walk out of the theater through the last half of the movie.

I gave it a 4.

For the record: I thought the Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy was meh, but not unwatchable, however his King Kong was utter crap.

 

^ iono what you talking about. LOTR and king kong were bomb. I found District 9 to be unrealistic even though that's what they were trying to go for. The development of the characters was great, it really got you enthralled in the plot (at least for me). I think the second half of the movie was the best part, with all the action. Oh well, everyone's got different taste.

I hated everything about the main character. He was an ******* from the beginning of the movie so I didn't feel any empathy for him during the "transformation". I did feel bad for the fawkin prownz because I was beat over the head with the metaphor of bad corporations abusing the disenfranchised. Ultimately I was glad the main character got what he deserved although I really didn't care what happened to the prownz by then.

Bastards was epic imo. The most enjoyable film I have seen this year without a doubt. Only thing close was hangover.. District 9 on the other hand was epic garbage. By far the worst film I have seen in a long time. Gamer was decent, liked it more then GI joe, but nothing real special.

 

Ehh... District 9 is an allegory for apartheid.

 

That's really all I could think of throughout the entire movie. It overshadowed every other aspect of the film. It even took place in the same region which sucked because they actually could have went somewhere with the whole bio-mech weapons thing.

 

Thats the obvious interpretation, since it is set in J-burg, but I think it is more of an exploration in upper and lower/middle class everywhere. Everything fits with an economic overtones, and how the upperclass abuse the poor because they can and nobody cares. Even how business is business and they turn on their own when they get the chance.

 

oh man, i couldnt take mike myers seriously, i just started laughin to myself when i saw his face on the screen. hahaha

 

That was, of course, one of the reasons they shot it where they did -- all the shantytown shots are actual shantytowns in South Africa.

 

loved it. It was a very suspensful story. The streteched dialog was needed to paint the complete picture.

 

And most of the shooting was done in the winter, to give it that extra gloomy look.

I think the obvious allegory dissuades people from taking a broader overview of the picture. It can be more than one thing at once.

 

meh Tila sucks. lol.....
