Chapter 277: Rave Reviews (Third Update)

"District 9" was a big box office hit in the first week, and if the second week can maintain the decline and there is no significant decline, then the total box office of "District 9" is definitely worth looking forward to.

And if you want to maintain the box office trend in the second week, word-of-mouth is undoubtedly a very important point.

Of course, there are no new films released in the mainland in the new week, and the film schedule of "District 9" is still the highest among the films released, which objectively has also created the necessary conditions.

After the release of "District 9" entered its second week, the media and film critics also increased the number of film reviews of "District 9".

"District 9, an alternative sci-fi masterpiece!

"District 9" uses pseudo-documentary filming techniques to catch people's attention at the first time, a science fiction story of alien refugees on Earth.

Reverse thinking that has found a different way, the alien prawns that have been deliberately scandalized, are so disgusting to see them from a human perspective.

Director Chen Hao arranged for the male protagonist to also discriminate and dislike alien prawns at the beginning, but because of an accident, his body mutated, and slowly mutated into his most hated alien.

The torment and collapse of this process of metamorphosis is a metaphorical reflection of the racial discrimination and violence that still exist in us today.

It is similar to Kafka's "Metamorphosis", "The Ninth District" is worthy of Chen Hao, the title of the best science fiction movie in China!"

"District 9, the sci-fi film that puts Hollywood to shame!

The film was filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa, the only developed country in Africa, where apartheid was abolished by most countries.

White South Africans have strict segregation measures for blacks, and blacks are not allowed to sit on an equal footing with whites, nor are they allowed to enter the city at will, which causes a lot of conflicts.

The moral of this film is roughly derived from this conflict!

The alien prawns in the film are ugly and abnormal, but the wanton humiliation and killing of aliens by humans such as the male protagonist is even more chilling!

Director Chen Hao took advantage of the male protagonist's mutation into an alien to heartily express his irony of racial discrimination and prejudice.

As a science fiction film that reflects racial issues, Chen Hao, who is also the screenwriter and director of the film, undoubtedly did a very good job.

"District 9" is a realistic film in the guise of science fiction.

While the film explores prejudice and discrimination, it does not forget to add sci-fi scenes with strong commercial elements.

The prawn's humanoid mecha robot is able to gather bullets fired at itself into a ball and then bounce back when it is unmanned.

It's a nod to The Matrix.

The investment in the whole film is only 40 million US dollars, for which director Chen Hao uses unfamous actors, so that more funds can be used for expensive special effects production.

It can be seen that the success or failure of a movie is inseparable from the degree of dedication of the main creators, rather than relying on some carving skills.

Otherwise, District 9 wouldn't have been hailed as the best sci-fi movie of 2004!

It will not let the "Chicago Tribune" sharply evaluate the film as: shame the whole of Hollywood.

Not to mention Hollywood, such a science fiction film with deep thinking and excellent commercial entertainment elements, but it only costs so much money, which can completely make global science fiction producers feel ashamed.

There is only one director in Huaxia who can make world-class science fiction films now, and I hope that other directors can learn more from Chen Hao, so that science fiction films can really take root in China!"

"District 9, a sci-fi masterpiece!

When we look back at "District 9", we will find that the whole movie is full of noir fables, as well as tragic undertones. Although the male protagonist Wikus is obscene and cowardly, he is not a big traitor, he is like most ordinary people.

Before meeting Christopher and his son, he regarded these alien prawns as slaves of humans, and even insects in nature, which could be trampled to death at will.

It was only when he saw Christopher's endurance and humiliation, and his son's naughty innocence, that he woke up: these alien creatures, like us humans, have an inseparable family attachment between father and son, and are implicated by the blood of the same ancestor.

When he transformed, his father-in-law wanted to experiment on him in vivo, but Christopher gave him the only shelter, and the prawns, who were once despised by him, were more humane than their fellow humans.

This also allows the male protagonist to finally stand in Christopher's camp and rebel against indifferent and anti-human beings together.

But this is not an act against humanity, but a piercing and heart-piercing bell. Why can the rulers of the MNU trample on the dignity of other races for the sake of money, and devour the bodies of blood relatives for the sake of profit?

This is also the first time in the history of science fiction films that pseudo-documentary techniques are used, the purpose is to make this seemingly fake science fiction show a real texture.

So in the end, when Wikus's wife is reluctant to leave the plastic flower, our hearts seem to be pierced all at once, and this pain is the "real" experience of the little person Wikus, and the empathy experience brought to us.

He lets us know what about even if it turns into a non-human alien prawn?

At least he still has the eternal love to protect his wife.

Whether he will wait for Christopher to come back and heal him in eight years, we don't know.

But I believe that if he were given another choice, he would still make the most humane choice.

"District 9", in my heart, is undoubtedly a science fiction masterpiece!"

......

There is no doubt that the media and film critics' evaluations of "District 9" are mostly positive, and many people even give super high evaluations such as "masterpiece" and "classic".

Of course, movies are not without negative reviews, after all, it is impossible for a movie to please everyone, but the number of negative reviews is very small relative to positive reviews!

At the beginning of the century, the evaluation of movies by the media and film critics was still instructive, unlike later generations when everyone was deceived by bricks and bad movies, and they already had their own judgment and no longer followed the crowd.

Therefore, Chen Hao is also a lot relieved, and the praise of the media and film critics should make "District 9" have a good box office performance in the second week!

So, while waiting for the box office results of "District 9" in the second week, Chen Hao also began to prepare for his next film.

Chen Hao's new film has a budget of 40 million yuan, and most of the investment will be spent on special effects.

The current salaries of mainland actors are not high, and Chen Hao is now a golden signboard, Fan Jinsuo was even willing to appear with zero pay before, which is the best proof!
