Document Summary
The film, district 9 by neill blomkamp takes place in the 1980s, in which an alien ship arrives and hovers over the city johannesburg, south africa. The government discovered a large group of aliens who are malnourished and sick. However, the aliens were very cooperative and meant no harm. This leads me to the idea that the theory that would best represent the film district 9 would be neorealism . Neorealism would best represent this movie due to its increase in security and protection (offensive realism), in which is one of the aspects of neorealism. In neorealism, due to the competition for security, states will achieve fluctuating layers of capability. The mnu"s motive and reason was towards their interest in the aliens" extreme, precocious weaponry. The government maximizes its power by working with the military to gain control of the aliens, while. 1 trying to make the alien"s a market.
