Fantastic first movie role...especially considering that he improvised most of the dialogue in the documentary-style scenes.

This movie was confusing for me too, but the ability of the alien to sympathize where there was no compassion on his behalf reminds me of the good Samaritan parable. Wonder how you would read these two together.Josué Blancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371081741426711771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364740313288623136.post-76747212552708385892009-09-03T10:37:18.353-07:002009-09-03T10:37:18.353-07:00KJ - just saw this last night with Ryan Marsh and ...KJ - just saw this last night with Ryan Marsh and another friend Luke. Very well written review here. I'm intensely ambivalent with you. To add to the insult, we are told that the illegal/abusive eviction and relocation to District 10 is "successful"...the aliens are now freshly contained and growing in population.

Of course, the newly transformed Wikus will save the day by sacrificing his own life and we'll nod our heads and call him messianic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444265185451547717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364740313288623136.post-84307644164973221472009-08-29T01:37:32.800-07:002009-08-29T01:37:32.800-07:00cool- I want to hearcool- I want to hearKjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021145944635829310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364740313288623136.post-82040163618234236392009-08-29T01:20:13.127-07:002009-08-29T01:20:13.127-07:00For what it's worth, I came away with a vastly...For what it's worth, I came away with a vastly different reading of much of what you noticed in the film. =)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263272474431086457noreply@blogger.com
