Hmm, it was in theatres on 10/29. I haven't seen ads for it here, but it seems like an ok flick --that I will probably see on Netflix. I'm not sure of how conceptually original it is, and it's unclear to me how it compares to "Alien Nation." (Btw, I never saw an analogy between the aliens in that film and African Americans. I still wouldn't, but it's interesting that some did. Well, for one thing, I think the basic "inhabitant/alien" conflict can be applied (analogically) to any situation, from Saxons/Normans, to Pilgrims/Eastern Indians, to Pioneers/Plains Indians, to Whites/Blacks, to residents/illegal aliens. As always, there is always the subtle questions of "who belongs here?" and "who can fit in?" So, any invader is an alien. And, this film "Monsters" asks the same tricky question.
"Monster" is a tricky terms, itself. It always reminds me of "Frankenstein" ... yeah, the doctor was the monster. But, that's really another subject. I wanted to say that "Planet of the Apes" was considered (by me and most of my peers) as a closer analogy for the social situation of African Americans at the time. "ET" was, for many of us, a comment on a society could accept aliens before they'd accept people who didn't look like they lived in the suburbs. Anyway, from my perspective, much changed with the Star Trek series ... not the original characters, but with the "new" mixed-race aliens species. Once there were black Kligons, the simple color dichotomy could no longer be a simple analogy. That's been for at least the last 20 years. Thus, in "District Nine", there is a clear parallel between the way the aliens are treated and the old apartheid system. However, the black people are just as "racist" against the aliens as the whites. And, then there's "Avatar" --which is Pocahontas tinted blue and given a politically romantic ending).
Which gets to the sex
... I guess I'll have to watch the movie to give an opinion on that. Sexual verisimilitude can be complicated.
