Jul 12, 2009 10:24:37 Yeah, I've really been looking forward to this. I love the idea of the reverse alien invasion movie. The aliens finally arrive and instead of trying to take us over, we oppress and abuse them. What's more hilarious is that this is surprisingly realistic in concept. I mean, just think about how much of a fuss we humans make about slight differences in skin pigmentation. If we met aliens that looked like cuttlefish, we would be complete *******s to them. Eew, racism (or if you prefer, species-ism).

Jul 12, 2009 13:44:33 I have been looking forward to it since the director Neill Blomkamp made his Alive in Joburg, hoping it would be made into a full film and here it is :D and here is a link to Alive in Joburg:

It goes beyond just normal racism and is specifically a analogy to the South African apartheid. The director is from Johannesburg in South Africa.
