California Girl,<br />I must seek this film out too...because of your very<br /><i>"intriguing"</i> review of this film.<br /><br />That advertisement on the bus stop bench is kind of...<i>scary.</i><br /><br />By the way, Cole Scott's photograph remind me of one of artist Georgia O'Keeffe's painting.<br /><br />Thanks, for stopping by and sharing too!<br />DeeDee ;-Dratatouille's archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369967577590947967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346506349285197389.post-71595008920338915022010-03-27T19:05:54.606-04:002010-03-27T19:05:54.606-04:00Roy, Art, Baino & Rohzi: appreciate all your ...Roy, Art, Baino & Rohzi: appreciate all your comments. The apartheid thread became so much larger, didn't it? I thought of all the nations who've instigated this type of behaviour against others. The Americans did it to the Indians, the slaves, the Japanese Americans during WWII, the African Americans up until recently and so on. We are not blameless. <br /><br />What I'll never understand is man's fear; man's need to dominate, subject and subdue.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346506349285197389.post-75736166926691634522010-03-26T18:08:31.289-04:002010-03-26T18:08:31.289-04:00I am a Netflix addict and rented this movie a coup...I am a Netflix addict and rented this movie a couple of months ago. Like you, I was completely blown away. My favorite movie & book genre happens to be Science Fiction, and before watching it, I expected it to be the typical (yet interesting), exaggerated sci-fi story about alien invasion. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that District 9 was nothing like that. <br /><br />Very thought provoking. And the ending definitely left itself wide open for a sequel. I hope they explore that in the future. I would like to see a fairy tale ending. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it! Great movie! We should start tossing movie suggestions each other's way! :-)April J.
