Film Research - District 9

The film District 9 is satirizing how the human race can treat others less than because of assumptions. The film uses aliens to demonstrate the minority group in this film. The intro shows the humans breaking into their ship and then "helping" them with camps (District 9). They use wide shots and aerial shots mainly in the intro, making the scenes feel monumental and important. The job titles featured are the director, his company and the film company - very simple. The box office made a revenue of 120.8 million and the budget was merely 30 million, making an incredible profit most likely because the film is eye-opening. The film was awarded the Ray Bradbury award - for the dramatic film - and the Critic's choice movie award for makeup.
