Chapter 66: District 9 (7/10)

"District 9" opened yesterday.

The North American box office performance is $22 million, which is very strong beyond "Thor 3"...

The New York Times commented: "A movie with a forward thinking, a fable about life." ”

The Hollywood Reporter said, "A real, authentic sci-fi movie that captivates you from the beginning and keeps the audience wanting to stop until the end of the film!"

Of course, there is the behavior of the distributor to buy good reviews, but the big media still has its own style, and it is generally not a particularly good movie, so it is impossible to give such an excellent evaluation!

In the mainland, the box office on the first day was 52 million, which still relied on the huge publicity of the premise and Shen Ming's super high passer-by...

After all, "District 9" is an original IP, and few people know what kind of story this is!

Many people decided to watch the movie after watching Douban's praise!

……

"District 9" does not have a 3D mode, there is not enough money...

It opens with a series of introductions:

Almost 30 years ago, a flying saucer landed over Johannesburg, and 30 days later, the United Nations decided to send it to find out, and then found out that it was a group of alien refugees who had come to Earth to escape the war...

The leaders then decided to set up a temporary shelter for these alien creatures in South Africa's Ninth Sector, and to centralize the management of these "aliens" in the eyes of humans.

The mission to control and manage the aliens is called a "transnational joint organization", and MNU...

The alien refugees feed on carrion, and they look like shrimp, so they are called prawns!

After thirty years of development, these alien refugees have grown stronger and stronger, and they often do things that are illegal and fight back, and there are often violent clashes in the 9th District...

The MNU decided to expel them from the original encirclement zone "Sector 9" to the new management zone "Sector 10".

Of course, the argument is to persuade them to relocate!

The TV station followed up on the situation!

The protagonist Wikus, also known as Shen Ming, appeared on the big screen.

He was hired by MNU, his job is to communicate with aliens, and at the beginning of the movie, he was given a lot of shots, and he was just promoted and was in charge of this relocation...

This is the first time he has been in charge of commanding such a large operation, 1.8 million prawns!

By the way, the camera also gave him some family introductions, such as his wife, father-in-law, etc., and his father-in-law is one of the senior leaders of MNU...

In the screening room, several audience members whispered:

“… Is this an allusion to apartheid in South Africa?"

"I guess so. ”

Not only that, but when it came to the scene in the ninth district, a bunch of human rights organizations protested to give more friendly treatment to the prawns...

District 9 is home to not only prawns, but also Nigerian gangsters...

Gangsters trade prawns' favorite cat food for money or alien weapons...

There are a lot of powerful weapons on the alien spaceship, but these weapons are bound to the DNA of the prawns, and humans can't use them at all!

"They have weapons, why don't they resist?"

“… An explanation should be given later!"

The explanation was indeed given later, which was requested by Shen Ming - this group of alien refugees has a strict social structure, and only the top elites can call the shots, and it is obvious that there are no elites in the group of prawns that fall to the ground...

……

"It's disgusting..."

On the screen, Shen Ming was sprayed with an unknown liquid...

The audience in the screening hall couldn't help but complain...

This is what happened in the house of a prawn in a red vest, the red vest is obviously an intellectual in the prawn group, and he is also the second male lead in this play...

At that time, when filming, these liquids were vegetable juices, and the taste was okay, anyway, Shen Ming didn't feel disgusting...

It can only be said that Neil has no bad taste for squirting white liquid...

After being sprayed in the face, Shen Ming began to mutate, his nosebleeds turned black, his nails began to fall off, and when he got home, his wife threw him a celebration party, and then at the party scene, he vomited a big pool of black blood and fainted...

When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor was surprised to find that Shen Ming's right hand had turned into a shrimp claw...

Then, the hospital went under martial law, and the MNU dispatched armed police to take him to the laboratory!

“… Is this Metamorphosis?"

Xu Erha also read a lot of famous books when he was a teenager, Kafka's "Metamorphosis" is a must-read extracurricular reading book in the second year of junior high school, and he immediately came back to his senses...

At this point the camera cuts to the laboratory, the laboratory, a pile of prawn corpses!

MNU has been doing live experiments on prawns for a long time, hoping to master alien weapons, and when they know that Shen Ming has mutated, the first thing they do is not to think about how to cure him, but to use him for experiments!

The problem that has always bothered them is that if they can't break through the DNA of aliens, they can't master weapons!

At this time, Shen Ming already had the DNA of prawns in his body...

Sure enough, he can easily control alien weapons!

This discovery directly drove the MNU executives crazy, including his father-in-law!

Then they discussed the price of his body beside the weakened Shen Ming!

"This body is very valuable, it has both the DNA of prawns and the DNA of humans, the problem is, it can't go on any longer..."

"He's going to be completely mutated?"

"Yes, so, we must get all his things, bone marrow, blood, and organs and tissues before he mutates!"

……

Just when a group of doctors were about to dismantle Shen Ming, a strong desire to survive made him run away and escape!

Then the MNU wanted him all over the city, and he could only hide in the ninth district...

Because only there are no photos of him wanted!

But he also wanted to become a human again, and he felt that as long as he became a human again, he would be able to return to everything before!

The previous Red Vest had told him that those liquids would allow him to 'detoxify'...

Can these liquids be at the MNU headquarters!

They needed some weapons, so they went to the gang boss, and after some fighting, got the weapons...

With the alien weapon in hand, they got the liquid, and then started the cab, and the red vest told Shen Ming, 'I have to go back to my home planet, and in three years, come back to save you!'

Thinking too much, the government army directly bombed the cab down!

The black boss was very surprised to find that Shen Ming could actually control these alien weapons, so after snatching Shen Ming with the government army, he also wanted to get the secret that Shen Ming could use alien weapons!

The two sides fought, Shen Ming was robbed by the black boss and his gang, and he was about to be dismantled again, and the alien mecha that had already appeared seemed to sense something, and directly merged with Shen Ming and saved him...

"Damn! What an ugly mech!"

This was the real reaction of most of the audience...

No way, it's a bargain, it's nice to be able to get it!

In the final stage, Shen Ming became a ball rape, he saved the Red Vest, and helped him escape from the earth...

The red vest finally started the spaceship, and the camera showed Shen Ming, who sat on the ground dejectedly, looking at the spaceship that was gradually disappearing, with both sadness and joy in his eyes.

"This is the last time we'll see Wikus, and how he's ending, no one knows, we can only guess!"
