Blog 9: When We Meet Aliens for the First Time


Blog 9: When We Meet Aliens for the First Time

Curiosity is the nature of human being. Columbus finding the new land is an exact case. When the technology develops into a new level, human cannot satisfy with the cognition of earth. The exploration of universe is a consequent trend. The complex feeling of curious and fear cannot stop the temptation of unknown space and the possibility of the existence of alien life. Movie is a way to spread the imagination of aliens.

I have watched the District 9 these days. The movie is set in a situation in which an alien space ship comes to the earth. The space ship stays in the sky of Johannesburg. It is convinced that that space ship is for mining and because of lack of energy and the wrong guide, it fell to the earth. The phenomenons on the ship almost die out and the survivors are most unwise labor. After human cannot bare the curious, they try to connect the aliens actively after the waiting of three months without any action of alien. It is absolutely out of imagination that the aliens are like refugees and stay in a really unhealthy status. District 9, the refugee camp, has finally been build up under the space ship.

Endless non-reward help and the disturbance of aliens make people there cannot stand them. The most important part is the discrimination of alien that the alien gain in vain. There must be a reason why aliens can stay here. That is benefits. A big company MNU wants to gain the weapon technology from aliens.

Aliens in the imagination of human ether from movies or novels are magical and with high-level civilization and high tech. But it is thoroughly not the same in the movie. The figure of alien in the movie is completely a socially inferior. In this situation, abomination, aversion and disdain spread among people. Thanks to the “human right advocates”, these prawn-like aliens will not go through the same disaster like Indian.

Scientist Hawking once has predicted what aliens will be like and said human should not explore the universe blindly. Only if the aliens who we find are with high level of intelligent, they may treat human as slaves. However, nobody knows when the best time to get contact with extraterrestrial life is.

Same as dreaming of flying, human are “lonely” now and are eager to find partners. At the same time, we had better to improve ourselves first. No one knows what the universe is like and whether there is alien. What will happen when we know the whole universe and what will us curious about?

Like many extraterrestrial theme films, District 9 is just an imagination. Without stars in it and take the form of interview and reports, District 9 achieves great success. If you are interest in it, it deserves to be seen.

  1. I like fiction movies, especially those about aliens.
    In my opinion, there are aliens in the university, in both higher and lower level than human.
    I'd like to watch the film.
    Thank you.

  2. Although I have not watched this movie before, I could imagine that the theme of this movie must be profound and edifying. There is no doubt that curiosity is the human nature. Everyone is curious about unknown things. Perhaps this is the reason why thrillers and fictional movies could be so popular even though some of them are totally meaningless. For me, I really do not care about whether the aliens exist in the cosmos or not. Maybe before star wars, because of harsh environmental problems, resource scarcity and nuclear wars, our human beings will have already gone extinct.

  3. Hawking has predicted that there must be aliens on other planets just from the angle of mathmatic. To be honest, I think he is kind of irresponsible about what he said. If we just prove the possibility that aliens exit from the angle of math. I guess I have predicted it as far back as when I was ten years old. From some materials, I believe that USA federal government has contacted with aliens.

  4. Wow, thanks for your interesting blog! After reading it, I think I’d like to see this movie now. It is rather a coincidence that I also watched a movie about aliens this weekend. It was “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”. From this film, I got some points that are similar to yours. I also find that the people tend to imagine that the aliens are more intelligent than human-beings as they have high-tech equipment that humans do not have. In the film, the aliens even blew up the earth once and then rebuilt it! During the time that the earth was being destroyed, the humans could do nothing to stop it! Anyway, these movies about aliens are the imaginations of human-beings, and perhaps one day, the scientists may have the ability to show us the genuine pictures of aliens. Who knows?
