District 9.

Discuss issues of representation of gender and race.
District 9 has a negative representation of all groups of ethnicities. The powerful white people are just as poorly represented as the Nigerians who are represented as gang members, cannibals and inter-species prostitutes. Even though all these are recognisably negative and a bad portrayal of the country the white people are represented as maniacs who have no feelings and only care about the alien technology in order to kill.

Discuss how typical the text is of its genre.

How is the film post modern?

What is the contextual cultural content in the text?
