Alive in Joburg

Thanks, Soren.

You’re gonna want to see Blomkamp’s other stuff on YouTube, too. If you don’t, you know I’m just going to post them here anyway. So you might as well do it on your own.

    I remember seeing this a few years ago and being really impressed. One of the best sf shorts I’ve ever seen. So affecting.

    I think it’s a totally fascinating commentary on the way science fiction has become integrated with our culture, that this film could ever be made.

    Soren, what do you mean?

    Remi, the dude’s other stuff is similarly incredible, aesthetically as well as textually. I’ll probably post them bit by bit as I more thoroughly dig them.

    District 9, a movie coming out next year, has a similar-sounding plot. Could be great!

    Well, Alien Nation has a similar-sounding plot. But I’m going because the dude’s shorts are really astounding. He’s earned a leap of faith.
