@ZaidJilani@carolynmichelle The 3rd act was out of place and undermined the messages of the film. A consistent problem with all his movies. -
Dude District 9 is a radical anti colonial film. Its not a pacifist film
@radicalbytes@carolynmichelle -

-
@radicalbytes You need to read some Aristotle to learn what the word "tragic" means.@ZaidJilani@mirahwood -
@radicalbytes@ZaidJilani@mirahwood look, let's just say never glorify the act of violence, but the cause and the struggle it is for
