For me, D9 is a story of a man who had to become what was supposedly repulsive and inferior to truly be able to do the right thing. Up until the last 20 minutes of the movie, he’s a selfish human, driven by desperation and frustration. But when he turns his exo-suit around and decides to save Christopher Johnson from execution, he has transcended both humanity and being alien. He chose to do the right thing. Would we do the same thing if we were in his place? That’s where this excellent South African movie triumphs the most.Wally Howehttp://wabona.com/noreply@blogger.com
