I always thought the smell of that place had to be horrific.
Probably smells like seafood.
@@rwalper That's what I thought 🤣
probably smell like my ex.
at least a lot of bacon??

This movie is an underrated Masterpiece in my Opinion
Yes.
Yes.
This film and the film Chronicle desperately need a part 2.
More I watch it, better it gets , good film
True
The worst part about this movie. Prawns are just an imaginative replacement for anything we deem less superior which history has proven to even be our own kind.
Like in Starship Troopers, see other Races as mindless Bugs and it will be easy to destroy them.
💯
The word for "less superior" is "inferior".
I think that's the whole point of the film.
@@71brett It is. These people just don't like feeling uncomfortable when it comes to Humanity and depths of hell we went through to get here.
Wikus starts off as just another cog in the machine. He's a jolly bloke but he's part of an evil corporation and reasonably happy to do his job. This scene, and in particular his sympathy for the random Prawn, excellently separates him from the soulless monsters who he worked for. It shows a lot of character and is really well executed.
If they had let him recover for like a day with food and a warm bed, he probably would have told them how he mutated
@David Jones actually there is
@David Jones I’d disagree with some of those things. Patriotism is a risky game, and you probably shouldn’t raise your kids to love your country without question. The freedom to question authority and the way things are is a key component of any democracy worth its salt. Speaking as a non-American, the way Americans talk about patriotism and do their whole pledge of allegiance thing every morning looks kinda fucked-up from the outside. I’m a Brit, I don’t love my country. It’s a hunk of land, and not a particularly well-run hunk either, all things considered. I want to see it improve and I want to see my fellow Brits live happily, but I’m under no obligation to feel any sort of affection to the nebulous concept of a country. A country’s only as good as its people are living.
As for self-reliance, I think we tend to overestimate its importance nowadays. It’s perfectly fine and good to be able to stand on your own two feet, but it’s also important to remember that the human species only got as far as we did because we cooperated and helped our old and our sick. There’s no shame in reaching out, asking for help and sharing the burden of life with those around you. Quite frankly, it’s been in our nature since we first evolved. The idea that we have to achieve everything in life off the sweat of our own back and no one else’s is inaccurate to the way humans are wired, and likely goes a long way to explaining why we’re all so stressed and miserable these days. We’re not meant for this.
@David Jones also bear in mind that people are not supposed to serve society. Society is supposed to serve the people. That’s why we have the concept of society, to organise, streamline and simplify our day-to-day lives so as to maximise the enjoyment we get out of living (at least in theory, grumble grumble).
@David Jones Business models based on honor and long term planing are the best ones out there. Short term thinking leads into collapse of many business.
@David Jones you think it’s important to raise kids to be patriotic?...
Nothing except division has come from National Pride
National pride is a joke especially for America
It's so chilling how they have another human being strapped to a chair and not an ounce of sympathy is shown. A few days ago he was an employee in this very building. It does a great job of establishing the villains., the end rampage at the end wouldn't have worked if there was any chance of the people he was killing being sympathetic. By having them all be mercs for this souless corporation the 3rd act can be as gory and violent as they wanted and no one in the audience will feel morally conflicted.
Reality of the world depicted in the movie
There is real video happen in middle east very similar to this... in term of human cruelty
thanks dr. phil
Exactly the reason why I hate humans.
@@tekknorat yep
He’s an underrated actor, I loved him in elysium too
Another he is in is Hardcore Henry
the range on that guy is insane
Krueger..!!
I liked him in the A Team
@@locogtr6475 he also voiced Chappie
Unimaginable agony, from having an exoskeleton grow out from under the epidermis, this man has unmatched fortitude.
Marcus Lutrell and his team mates in Operation Red Wings, Mike Day, Benavidez.
They were all physically hurt far, FAR more than what would kill any average person and survived and even fought while they were fucked up and still won the fight.
The nerves have fused man he wouldn't feel the growth. It'd be almost symbiotic
i have something like that untreated rhumatoid authritis thanks to a phobia of needles ive had it for like 17 years now and yeah it fucking hurts bad you can feel the uric acid crystallize and start trying to push through the skin not fun at all.
@@johngallagher9151 okay... true... this has to do with district 9 how?
The way they completely ignore his humanity and treat him as a lab rat is brutal.
This is my favorite scene in any movie ever. A guy strapped into a chair forced to fire a bunch of Alien guns with his mutated Prawn-hand? Cmon!!!!!
Least evil corporation
I can't believe you wrote that and still don't realize that... this is a demonstration that we're being unfair to lab rats.
@@tablat1651 hahahahha
The guy who plays the sort of evil scientist in these scenes is a very underrated side character. The dude totally disturbed me with his lack of humanity and almost giddiness in causing suffering. Such a great film.
Good call - I saw this in theatres and felt that too, the repugnancy of the main scientist.
Just like real life in apartheid.
How he said "quiet please" to Wikkus as hes about to vivisect him was just chilling.
I'd like to see this guy in more films. He's a damn good actor.
When this film was made, he literally had no acting experience. Many of his lines were improvised too.
Check out Free Fire
He’s also in Elysium, great film.
Hardcore Henry, too
He plays as Chappie as well
Highly accurate to how much humanity actual corporations have
Thats funny since public sector is known from even worse.
@@Tespri For every example you can point to of the "public sector" being terrible, I can assure you that I can point you to 5 others of the private sector being equally terrible or worse.
@@Tespri There's usually more control and regulation in the public sector (although there are exceptions).
@@tablat165I more control and regulation isn't necessary a good thing. In fact if you look at economies with loads of control and regulations, they end up being very corrupted and poor.
@@Tespri Control and regulation is a necessary requirement to prevent not only corruption, but the kind of shady unscrupulous operations and profiteering that we see corporations practice in this movie.
The second part of your comment isn't true, there can be controlled economies that end up corrupted and poor and there are controlled economies that don't end up that way, just that there can be strongly unplanned and unsupervised economies that end up poor and corrupted too. But we weren't talking about economy, we were talking about legal restrictions and protections. This scene isn't about economy.
My man had only accidentally spray that shit on to him and everyone in the company is ready to torture and force him into doing what he doesn’t want just for that paycheck
Not even a paycheck it’s trying to find a way for humans to use those alien weapons and tech by bypassing their alien biometric schematics
@@KingDusk278 well it is for the paycheck, because then once they bypass the biometrics they can sell the weapons and make bank
The common goals of a Human being.
If they can figure out how to use the aliens tech, they could roll over the entire planet. That ought to be worth alot more then their paychecks
@@Raquya taking over the planet is a lot more complicated than it sound lmao. Why set up governments, armies, logistics, etc... when you could just ride the money wave.
This movie starts out slow but when it kicks off, it really kicks off.
There's something really symbolic to me about him having to use his own, human hand to kill the prawn vs when he was shooting the pigs. Not sure exactly what that symbolizes, but I like it.
It only symbolizes the human scientific process, that would be the only thing
It worked with his prawn hand, let's see if his whole biology is changing check the human hand
The end goal would be to reengineer the serum he accidentally used on himself to make one that gave soldiers access to prawn tech without outwardly changing their physical biology
indeed, perhpas the intetion of the company as a whole: to take the aliens ability to use their technology to kill and turn it against them, with human hands
simple sympathy
Definitely something behind it
@@midgerm nah i think its more the company wants to control alien technology to not only have more power but to become the government and its basically the darkest human nature where they want power at any cost and starting with morality
It's a shame they never made the sequel. This was a totally underrated movie.
Its happening
@@btsandtheirarmiessuckscock7043 oh really?
@@btsandtheirarmiessuckscock7043 - no way. Really?
@@sheldonjplanktonn yeah
If they did then humanity would be wiped out.
When he starts calling him "that guy" was a massive turning point for me in how I looked at the main character. God this is such an amazing movie
1:04 is the moment when I realized that whoever was controlling the MNU was trying to figure out how to mix Human and Prawn DNA in order to use and manipulate there technology from the start. Wikus just happened to be the key that they had been looking for all along.
their*
he was the missing link.
They never figured out that the black goo is what alters and mutates human DNA into the Aliens.
This movie describes perfectly the human behavior
What kind of behavior? This movie portrays a small part of the dark side of humanity.
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 No it doesn't
Right this seems like it would happen in real life kinda sad
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 it’s not small. It’s been repeated many times
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 honestly if you think its only small you know far too little about the behavior of our species
I remember watching this scene in cinema and I was shaking a little at how crazy cruel it was... District 9 remains one of the best films I've ever seen.
the terror of this scene is only topped by the scene where they are talking about harvesting him in front of him. I literally had a panic attack in the theatre and it took a decade for me to be able to watch it again.
You oughta grow a pair, bud
@@GaiusCaligula234 May karma show you many
@@brotherjoll1802 What does karma have to do with this? I'm just saying that it would be mighty helpful if he grew a pair of balls, because not being extremely distressed by such simple things as movies is quite helpful
South African's like that in-your-face Trauma/Racism. Fokken Prawns, skiet hom
The whole thing made worse for him because his father-in-law is among those bastards.
If any movie deserves a sequel, it was this one.
Damn right
I heard they are on the making of the 2nd one?
@@mrmister4972 no you did not, they had plans for it in april 2020 but there are copyright issues. so no, there wont be district 10 or whatever the sequel would have been called.
@@JustplaY2011 i heard also that its in writing works
@@DrTiggy666 is there a need to voice ones opinion like that? besides trolling of course^^
I feel really bad for that prawn. His frightened look and movement before he gets shot isn't helping it.
Congratulations you got the extremely obvious point of the scene.
@@regibson23bro is really leaving douche replies on comments that are years old 💀💀💀
I agree, I like the prawns so this scene always makes me sad
This is the first I saw Sharlto Copley as a actor, and was highly convinced that he has an amazing set of acting skills at the end of this film.
One of the best actors of his generation. He played the dull officer so well I realised he is the main character only when he started to mutate. His character is thrown into a tornado of events and he is able to depict him believably at every moment.
Still waiting for District 9 the return!
It is coming.
@@dehash666 proof?
@@lk6912 , google it, District 10.
@@dehash666 dayum you're right .. the director already confirm the sequel
@@dehash666 will they make invasion 🤣
Out of all the movies I've seen, this is definitely one of them.
Fake, movie was a paid actor
HahHhHhHhHhHhHahahahahahaha
I've seen a lot of movies in my time...
this is most certainly a movie
Totally agree
“What are they doing to these prawns???” He had no clue what the company he worked for was doing, he really was just a naive office worker who got caught in the middle of everything. Makes me pity him more, and it makes his rampage at the end all the more justified.
We were suppose to get a Halo movie, but this was still lit.
I prefer this
bruh this is way better the majority of all video game movies suck ass anyways, i dont play halo but having a person playing master chief with a different voice would so stupid and uncomfortable to me since ive heard chief with his deep ass voice. This movie is literally an oscar winner and shows the sad reality of this man losing everything. i rather have a group of people enjoy a movie than just having us gamer enjoy a movie about halo which the majority of population has never heard of.
@@masonbain7098 a large part of the population who have never played halo knows at least that its a shooter game, but yeh i get your point this is a great movie
A Halo Movie would have sucked ass judging by how video game movies are done.
@@comicfan8350 Forward Unto Dawn?
Dude deserves an award for his performance in this.
Wikus had much more passion than any human, even though he was different he always maintained his sanity
People didn't seem to understand my hype about this movie when it came out. I still love it, and I need to rewatch it soon! Graphics were amazing at the time, and still are today to be honest.
I'm still shocked how simultaneously expressive the Prawns are, and how alien/incomprehensible they appear.
Like seeing the movie I can comprehend how people who see them from a distance could equate them to animals. But when put in extreme situations you can see their fear and anger through it all.
I can't really think of another movie with aliens as well designed. Avatar and marvel cheat by just making them look human.
@@0sm1um76 Very true, I remember feeling sad for the main prawn guy the lead scientist was helping, forgive if I butcher names or whatever, been forever! Lead prawn and lead science guy haha xD
I cant wait for the sequel. It'll be sick when the mothership returns with a fleet of prawns.
There’s something about a pawn of the corporation becoming a prawn, being forced to pull the trigger. Subtext.
Imagine what these aliens are gonna do once the ship gets back to their home world and they’re told what was done to their comrades on earth. I mean just look at the weapons they had.
swap 1 untrained partially mutated human in a mech suit for 1 million battle hardened soldiers in mech suits, air/space fire support whatever they use for "tanks". I doubt any nuclear options would even find a target - again air/space would likely clear the skies of human missiles and vehicles
I wish this had gotten some sort of continuation. Such a cool universe
sequel was announced by the writer and director this february. so....2025?
@@lordofnothing. sweet hey its something
Chappie's from the same universe. You can see Tetraval's logo inside MNU. I wish for that crossover
For people who has never experienced being arrested. This is what is like, forget about respect for another person. Everything becomes very primal once the cops treat you like an object.
I can believe that :(
I got an Arby’s ad for this and I...
I hope you like shellfish...
2 for 6 bucks going on right now lol
They literally tore the prawns apart. Like children with play dough. What’s the use of having so much blood on your hands when what you’re looking for was never there? Why so many bodies and why display them in such inhumane ways? Humanity is sick.
@Abdo Abdo That’s kinda what I’m saying, but yes, it is only a film.
This is one of the best sci fi movies to come out in the last few decades........originality is off the scale on this one - loved it 🔥🔥
Its nice to see him care about shooting a prawn but in the beginning it shows him not caring about the life of prawns. What changed is it that maybe he still has morals about killing living beings
He is like all humans really. He lies to himself and only when he has nothing he decides to fight for the life of a prawn. Humans like all beings are naturally what people say is bad. We are odd... yet that's all living creatures.
the less human he became the more humane he was
@@Blockistium yes.
@@Blockistium humans are naturally by our definition terrible.
@@terrelldurocher3330 meh
This movie was one of the greats.
And don’t think for a minute big gov wouldn’t do this to you.
Ironic. This is a company.
@@josephnigel8811 MNU was an international corporation with its own private military, I'd say they'd have a LOT of influence on world politics.
Don't imagine for a second that any single corporation in existence wouldn't fall to even greater depths of depravity than this, likewise.
MNU is a corporation...
The actor plays the role right to the bone he's excellent
District 10 is confirmed
YESS
Let's hope they wouldn't screw up like with Pacific Rim 2.
District 10 is/was a real life containment camp in South Africa designed for the natives.
This movie is a parody of that (hence use of 9 instead of 10).
@@paradigm_sh1ft532 Thanks
Hmm man, the MNU is gonna have it's hands full when the Prawns come back and maybe exposed them just for kicks.
When I watch this scene I imagine how the aliens use these in there own wars and how destructive and terrifying combat must be for them. It's a shame they let it fall into a dangerously volatile species hands.
And it makes you wonder what they were exactly fighting against if they needed those kinds of weapons.
@@SoldierOfFate safe to say they would destroy those blue things
I'm not gonna lie, it took me 2-3 times of watching this film to truly appreciate and realize how great it is. Really underrated film and deserves a lot more views and praise.
The ending has too much going on with the various factions fighting over Wikus but I think its necessary to the plot
2:40 I just like how those two MNU guards are just standing there by the line of fire. They probably get paid double to do that.
Mean while the sick, vile, greedy Father-In-Law is laughing in the background while his Son-In-Law is confused and terrified in doing this..
One of the best underrated movies ever to be made..
He really didn’t deserve to go through all that
But he did didn't he. Since he was one of the people causing it at the beginning.
He treated the prawns like shit before he got infected, so he kind of deserved it... 🤷♂️
@@deerlord2363 yeah it shows that until he gets treated the way prawns were treated he started to understand them more.
@@deerlord2363 It's called character growth, at first he was shitty to them, but by the end he helped them get home, he just had to become one of them to understand.
This comment is the reason for the ENTIRE half hour set up in the beginning. They had to set who this guy really was for us the audience to be on his side when shit hit the fan. Really well written
Probably one of the best sci-fi action films of all time. Top 3 for me. Right along with Terminator 2 and Aliens.
I like how Wikus is established as being racist towards the prawns but still doesn't want to shoot a random one.
This is exactly how an alien species should treat us if they find us Bc this is how we would treat them
I'll make sure you're first in line
@@Assassino275 But I want to be first.
@@Assassino275 noo, your politicians and elites
Ha, your funny.
Well, hopefully they'll be able to tell the difference between regular people and greedy @ssholes
I saw this movie in the cinema with a friend, and a bunch of younger kids were in the seats around us.
They were laughing at the targeting range scene. Me and my friend just looked on in horror.
I hope those kids grew up. Fast. Else we are fucking doomed to what is being portrayed.
Kid's aren't able to understand the subtext, speaking as someone who watched this movie at 10 and also found the scene entertaining, because as kids we don't care about the deeper meaning (by deeper I mean having to actually think about the movie at all) we just liked the flashy scenes and cool gore. But as an adult now I do feel the urge to watch the movie again, hell I bet if those kids watched this movie again they would feel the same way about it as you did (assuming they are adults now)
@@styks5960 Maybe there is hope after all. I sure wish for hope..
Fucking horrifying
Of course they are laughing, they’re kids. No kid wants to be viewed a wuss by their peers. Peer pressure is a mother.
thats just how kids are
"Hey guys, let's find ways to destroy everything instead of solving world's problems."
Sadly, in this world, both concepts are often viewed as synonymous.
If you destroy things, then no more problems
@@nandinhocunha440 How do you destroy hunger then?
This movie got me felt bad for Wiku's. Like The Fly, this is a also a tragic story of a man who unwillingly turned into a monster.
I get what you mean, but the prawns aren't monsters
@@Thedodogos Yes i know but i just wanted to say what humans perceive him such.
Sad it was based on real events
@@dakodablack7312 no it wasnt
This movie gave me crippling throw up crisis
2:38 I just noticed theirs 2 guards standing down range! lol why do movies always do that
THIS MOVIE IS MASTERPIECE!!!
Those CGI is REAL for me, i thought watching a documentary film at first!!!!
When I saw those guns in District 9, I was like "Are they copying the Dead Space guns?"
Lol🔥😂
Anything medically evil is the most evil humans can be.
For all we know everyone exposed to him could transform just like he did
This movie is one of the best. A must see.
The fact alot of this movie was originally going to be the Halo film but was changed, you can still see how the Halo live action test footage that was released and this look so similar, and it helps that both were filmed by the same director.
Even looking at the scientist base and soldiers, their designs look like Combat Evolved era of designs for Halo characters, before they became too over designed and adding random lines to armor.
Did the infection affect his mind? This man used to burn prawn babies alive.
this movie deserve sequel like no other
He was great as Basher in Elysian. I think the same director with all those crazy weapons.
*"FOOK!"*
Wikus van der merwe, 2009
He's such a great actor. I love him.
Masterpiece of a movie, copley is fantastic
the villans are very generic and hardly even shown, they are almost faceless, this scene is 100% sold by Sharlto Copley his acting was unbelievable, especially in what was essentially a random low budget scifi movie
They did have Peter Jackson in their corner though.
That guy is such a phenomenal actor
The CGI in this was mindblowing at the time
Sharlto Copley, he played this role just a masterpiece, I would give him not one, but 10 Oscars for this role! This movie, does not fade over the years...
2:34 does he know that his boss’s daughter is the wife?
Is Neil Blomkamp still making a sequel for this movie? This movie was so good
yes
One of the only movies I wished they made a sequel for.
One of the best films ever made.
Shows our world leaders on their truest form. And the innocent working man being completely exploited.
Maaaan I really need to watch it again. Feels like the first time I watched it I was just a kid and didn't get alot of what the movie was about even though it left a lasting impression on me.
One of best movies ever made , ,hits me every time
If they dont make a sequel to this gem of a movie I'm suing.
The irony of humanity.
I doubt that a sequel would be as good but it just won't do without ...
damn , guns are so cool , i have been waitting for ep 2 over 10 years
I loved This Character.
POV: you take a more than 30 second bathroom break at the Amazon warehouse.
Honestly, I consider this movie to be a better version of Avatar. It came out the same year and deals with similar themes, but feels like it challenges you more.
I loved this dude in elysium and hardcore henry 🔥
in spain we call them bugs, maybe because calling them pranws will be too funny
How so
@@soullesswonder5474 in spanish prawn is "gamba" wich sounds funny, i kind understand why they choose "bicho" (wich is the traduction to bug), prawn sound funnier wich means it sounds less derogatory while "bicho" is an already derogatory word for insects and weird looking creatures.
@@thatguy-ly9cn A ti te e visto antes. Me equivoco ?
actually they are migrants.
The shooter has no ear and eye protection. What a terrible shooting range.
How come this movie is not the biggest thing in the world yet???!! Not fair!!
This is the only movie that created that showed what an actual alien invasion look like and how humans will react to it
this scene shows human true color, a cruel, psychopathic creature.
A gross oversimplification.
No it shows what a human can be up to u what u wanna see more of
Yes there are bad humans unfortunately (i just call them Monsters or demons lol) but i believe that the human Kind HAS the ability to be good but some people choose being evil...
It's a goddamn crime that we haven't gotten a sequel to this movie.
It's coming
Those corporate execs is exactly the purest form of evil in District 9 universe. How lovely the 3rd act would be if he could enact the very thing that they forced him to do in this video.
I think the film works because of the main actor..... I think it would change everything if you change Sharlto Copley .... Great actor and Neill Blomkamp Great director , lord knows they have the ability to mess up a film or make it great
2:10 I just realised they don’t even give him any ear protection
Cant wait for district 9 2 when garrus returns with an army to level earth
Brilliant acting!!!
District 9' sequel 'is coming' says writer and director Neill Blomkamp. Sharlto Copley and Terri Tatchell are co-writing "District 10." Writer and director Neill Blomkamp has said that a sequel to his directorial debut, the epic, gritty sci-fi "District 9," is on its way
