The contrast between what the black woman said during the interview and what the alien prawn did behind her was stark.
Especially when the black women looked back and saw the aliens behind them, what they showed was not the fear of encountering robbers or murderers, but a kind of... well, how should I put it, a kind of anger.
Yes, it is anger.
It is similar to the anger caused by a sense of desecration caused by a higher creature being approached by a lower creature.
She yelled at Shrimp to get away from her.
But if she was really facing a murderer or a robber, would she still dare to do this?
Kevin Thomas's eyes lit up and he wrote in his notebook:"Excellent irony."
…………
Then, our protagonist Robert Downey Jr. finally appears.
In the narration of his character Wikus facing the camera, the audience learned that the MNU (the"727" alliance organization of various countries) decided to assign him to be responsible for relocating all the aliens in District 9 to more remote areas - —District 10.
Later, recorded by a handheld camera, Wikus, played by Robert Downey Jr., escorted by groups of armored vehicles and helicopters, led his men into the slums where aliens lived.
As Wikus led the army into District 9, the audience in the theater became excited.
The protagonist appears and the real story should begin.
Kevin Thomas also put the pencil in his hand on the notebook in anticipation. He looked at both sides with his peripheral vision. Everyone was fascinated, so they also started reading attentively.
…………
The Ninth District is very noisy and chaotic, with the sound of gunfire, the roar of helicopters, and the voices of the news media intertwined.
Outside the camp, there are also human rights organizations protesting against the government's relocation of aliens.
Entering the ninth district, Wikus' performance was very contradictory.
He can let his men bulldoze prawn's house without any mercy
"Come over here, this is an illegal building, bulldoze it!"
On the big screen, in a dirty and dilapidated slum, a giant bulldozer with an MNU logo, under the command of Wikus, crashed directly into a crooked iron house. With a clanging sound, the iron roof was destroyed. Little by little, they were dismantled and bulldozed.
Not far away, a green-skinned adult lobster man was jumping anxiously and shouting, yelling alien curse words at Wikus.
Wikus, played by Robert Downey Jr., just glanced at him. He picked his ears nonchalantly and ignored them - fully revealing the ruthlessness of the character at this moment.
Next to the green-skinned lobster man, stood his child, a little green-skinned lobster man.
At this time, this crayfish The man was holding a dirty and broken stuffed toy in his hands, looking blankly at the fallen iron house.
That was his home!
But Wikus would also prepare to deal with the prawns that disobeyed orders. When shooting, stop your men from doing anything.
"No, don't kill him, there's no need for that."
But more often than not, he is careless and indifferent.
Obviously, he thinks that he is superior to the"shrimp people", and the occasional sympathy is more like charity.
In a shrimp person's home, he will cultivate small shrimp people casually He pulled out the pipes and smiled.
He didn't feel the need to respect the lives of shrimp people.
He asked his soldiers to use flamethrowers to burn down the house where shrimp people were cultivated, and joked to the camera:"Did you hear that? , The sound of bang bang bang is like setting off firecrackers. It is the sound of shrimp eggs exploding in the fire. The eggs of prawns will explode when exposed to high temperature."
This scene made countless viewers disgusted with this character.
Kevin Thomas wrote"racial discrimination" in his notebook",""Apartheid".
Then he deleted it and wrote this sentence:"Life is wonderful, life is great, life is equal. These rights are inherent and no one can take them away.""
As soon as he finished writing this, the commotion started on the screen.
"What did you say, you said this is your home?"
"No, no, no, not here, not every inch of land here belongs to you, and those stinking houses."
Vikus, played by Robert Downey Jr., looked at the prawn kneeling on the ground who was pointed at by the soldier jokingly and said:"The era of you taking advantage of legal loopholes is over. He pointed to the helicopter not far away,"Do you see what that is? It's a sniper rifle. If you dare to resist,"
"Bang!"
"I guarantee your head will turn into a big watermelon that has been hit with a baseball bat."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone around them laughed happily. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
At this moment, the prawn who was pointed at the gun suddenly jumped up angrily and let out an unbearable roar. Roaring, he overturned the soldier who was pointing the gun at him, and rushed towards Wikus who was still laughing jokingly.
Wikus' laughter stopped suddenly, and he was knocked away and hit. On a gasoline barrel.
The sniper on the helicopter opened fire. Prawn fell to the ground. His leg was hit and he lost the ability to move.
Several soldiers ran over quickly.
One of the leaders, In a teasing tone, he said:"Where do you want to run to?"
The shrimp crawled towards his house little by little.
Several soldiers followed him and laughed sarcastically.
The leader of the soldiers said:"You can't run away. Keep climbing, crawling, you bastard. Do you want to piss me off?"
"no no no……"The prawn made a frightened sound, turned around, knelt on the ground, and kept shaking his hands. boom!
With a gunshot, the prawn's head was shot and he fell to the ground twitching.
A soldier laughed and said:"Look, his head turned into a rotten watermelon."
Wikus stumbled over and asked loudly:"Why do you want to kill him? You don't need to kill him. He is no longer a threat." Yes."
In the screening hall, many film critics including Kevin Thomas' eyes lit up.
They saw the complexity of human nature in Wikus, which was their favorite thing[]
The audience was chilled all over. This kind of disregard for life made them very uncomfortable. Although prawns look very different from humans, they are intelligent life after all.
In fact, Martin has been using various subtle ways to arouse the audience's emotions from the beginning, such as the"No Prawns" 3.2 signs that can be seen everywhere in the city, and citizens, including public figures, throwing their hands at prawns. Spraying dirty water, such as the prawn's child being kicked away by the soldiers like a bug, such as the prawn being treated as an animal and being taken to the circus for exhibition...
He exposes the evil of human nature bit by bit, and at the same time digs out the hearts of the audience bit by bit. Compassion for prawns.
It was not until Wikus led the soldiers into District 9 that the audience's hearts had changed from rejecting the aliens as social parasites to having a certain sympathy for the prawns and becoming somewhat contradictory.
Afterwards, the MNU and human soldiers represented by Wikus did all kinds of inhumane and bad things in District 9, and the aliens did not seem to be as bad as the humans interviewed at the beginning of the film said.
The balance in everyone's mind began to tilt in the other direction.
