For a movie which main theme is xenophobia, the portrayal of Nigerians in District 9 is downright offensive. It's a curious movie and I can see why it pissed of just about the entire nation of Nigeria. Okorafor mentions that this movie was what triggered her to write Lagoon, so I decided to watch t. The makers of the movie District 9 must have wondered about that too because they decided to have their spaceship appear above Johannesburg, South Africa. Why they would pick that particular spot on the globe, which covers only a small percentage of the earth's surface and doesn't look particularly special from orbit is beyond me. For some reason, in just about every alien invasion movie I've seen, the aliens land somewhere in the US if they don't outright park their ship on the White House lawn.
