District 9 第九区

　　半夜看的，被吓到了……果然是R……这电影影射得太明显了，标题也是，还黑了尼日利亚，后来被人家禁播是应该的。。虽然是个科幻片，但那么明显的种族隔离主题，可以算主旋律片了……拍摄手段像是纪实片，还采访了各种专家和相关人员，新闻纪实风还蛮赞的，就是神经质说不停模仿普通人受惊的主角实在吃不消……

　　一开始主人公Wikus只是个MNU的办事员，被安排了强迁外星人的工作。这片的外星人是虾形的……讲话时的音效丧心病狂啊……28年前，外星人的飞船停在南非的Johannesburg上空，三个月没动静，等人类打开舱门，发现有百万外星人坐等救援中，于是开始了移民……但渐渐发现Prawn的人口数和治安都成问题，人类就把他们关在了俗称第九区的贫民窟中，然而各种问题继续滋生，特别是尼日利亚人介入之后，卖Y和暴力事件都出现了……MNU决定强制迁移这些外星人，这一段真恶心啊真恶心……Wikus无意间被外星人收集的流体泼到了，开始发生异变……没想到MNU在秘密研究外星人的构造，Wikus成了实验品……这一段实验如何进行的也真恶心啊真恶心……

　　Wikus勉强逃出来之后，只好躲在第九区……略直白的讽刺。。外星人Grey Bradnam带着个小儿子，一心要开动飞船回母星（那当年为什么要逃难来地球啊……），收集流体就是为了启动飞船，但被Wikus没收了，这下碰个正着。Bradnam与Wikus在追杀下决定去MNU偷回流体，因为Wikus兼具两族特征，又能在黑帮那儿使用外星人DNA启动的武器，又能打开MNU的密码锁……但看到实验室里同袍被解剖的惨相，Bradnam还是震惊悲伤了……这一段真恶心啊真恶心……而且两个人还没有出来计划，只好炸出一条血路……一路把MNU引回了第九区，然后被抓，这时，尼日利亚帮又来了！就为了吃掉Wikus那只变异的手，这是怎样的吃货精神啊……一顿乱斗中，Wikus被抓回去差点剁手，边上外星人的机甲给他启动了……同时，用拿回来的流体，Bradnam的儿子成功启动了飞船，大飞船飞到了已经坠毁的小飞船上空。最终，Wikus放不下Bradnam，一路把他和儿子送上了大飞船……Bradnam答应过三年后回来治Wikus的病，但没有后续，只是Wikus的妻子收到过金属做的小花，相信丈夫还活着，已经全是Prawn的外观了吧……第九区还是被迁了，不过情况好转一点了。。也没有提为什么只有那对父子回去了……

Calvary (film) 加略山

　　小众片的典范：很会讲故事，有一群好演员，配合很装X的故事结构……看完不必深究太多，对于宗教在西方国家的居委会作用有了更深刻的体会，就行了……

　　神父James Lavelle是个好神父，但在忏悔时，有人因为小时候被坏神父性侵过而要杀了他这个好神父，时间定在星期天礼拜日，目的就是震惊一下社会……神父其实是知道这人的，但不确定他是不是会这样做。电影就拍了神父在星期天前的生活。

　　小镇上的居民或多或少都有问题，神父会拜访或者给点建议，他自己女儿也正好过来看父亲。结了婚有了女儿，妻子得病死去，再成为神父，女儿回去之前，还是表达了对父亲这样做的不满，不过神父到底是有信仰的，不可能违背意愿，女儿也谅解了。其他人的问题也或多或少得到神父的帮助而进步了一点，比如有心结的那有钱人，比如卖春那小子等等。神父也不仅仅是劝慰作用，对无神论的无情医生也会骂回去，也会跟有夫之妇出轨的小混混打上一架。

　　除了星期日的死亡预告，凶手还烧了教堂，甚至有人杀了神父家重病的狗，这件事对神父的打击最大了。教堂被烧也是一个转折点，但Lavelle神父坚毅地接受了这个事实，寻求捐助再建教堂。最后，在海边，还是被凶手杀了，就是妻子出轨的Jack。

District 9 第九区

District 9 is a 2009 independent science fiction action/thriller film directed by Neill Blomkamp. It was written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, and David James. The film won the 2010 Saturn Award for Best International Film presented by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, and was nominated for four Academy Awards in 2010: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing.

The story, adapted from Alive in Joburg, a 2005 short film directed by Blomkamp and produced by Sharlto Copley and Simon Hansen, depicts humanity, xenophobia, and social segregation. The title and premise of District 9 were inspired by events in District Six, Cape Town during the apartheid era. The film was produced for $30 million and shot on location in Chiawelo, Soweto, presenting fictional interviews, news footage, and video from surveillance cameras in a mock-documentary format. A viral marketing campaign began in 2008, at the San Diego Comic-Con, while the theatrical trailer appeared in July 2009. Released by TriStar Pictures, the film opened to critical acclaim on August 14, 2009, in North America and earned $37 million in its opening weekend. Many saw the film as a sleeper hit for achieving success and popularity during its theatrical run, despite a modest budget and relatively unknown cast.

Storyline

In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends. Written by Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)
