we watched the movie District 9 and the question we chose to answer was:
How does the film maker convey evil or darkness?
The film maker shows evil and darkness through the setting, plot, and the imagery. The setting is the slums. Its disgusting, full of garbage,disease, prostitution, war, and just filth. Its a hell hole. The governments murderous activities to a new race of "prawns" (aliens) almost seems racist. They take control and kill all aliens that show resistance. The image that stuck out to us displaying evil was when Wikus (the main character) had to brutally murder a prawn for absolutely no gain. Another strong image was when a prawn was in a government medical lab and came across his best friends dissected body. It was actually quite sad to see.
