I saw District 9 today. Thank you very much. I liked the movie. But that does not mean that the movie is for everyone. The movie is certainly different. A documentary sort of treatment for most of the parts lends it a strangely realistic touch and the funny thing is that it's almost believable. If I write a synopsis of the movie here, it will take away the juice of the movie, so let's try to talk the gist of the movie in as less words as possible. A lot goes on behind the scenes. The last 20 mins of the movie are worth the Gandhis you spend. There are lot of loopholes and some really unbelievable sequences but hey, what the hell, it's a movie. Reality has more loopholes if we look at it with a criticizing eye.
The thing with movies, I believe, is that never believe what someone else tells you. To hell with the movie reviews, because those are the opinions of the reviewer. What ever a movie critic/reviewer writes is going to be influenced by his views, his thought, his experiences in life, the movies he has seen that stand in comparison to the movie being reviewed. So, never trust a review, go and see for yourself. Even a flop movie might have something that you might connect with and even the most popular movie might be all boring to YOU because you are not able to connect to it. And connecting (or not connecting) with the audience is the sole purpose of a movie, or isn't it?
Bottomline:: Go, and seek your own entertainment. Don't let someone else tell you that something is bad, or good.
If I keep writing like this, I will never take a stand on anything, or maybe I will.
