I did hear about the making of a "District 10" movie as follow up on the success of this one! Hopefully Neill will be a bit more compassionate in his portrayal of any one group of Africans especially since he is one of our own! Cheers, Farai Hi Zee,

The character of Wikus van de Merwe was simply on point, it took me back home, lol. I must admit, it did seem like it was taking a stab at Zimbabweans at the beginning when the people where being interviewed, lol. As for the Nigerian potrayal, well...no comment. Apparently there will be a follow up, I am so looking forward to that. I watched this movie not too long ago, I loved it.

Liz let me know how it goes for you! Laura, I totally get you on the languages bit! Thanks Graig for the info, glad you liked the movie. Will check out the link too. I have not watched it [but then again my list of movies to watch is long LOL]. I spoke with my friend Hakim Kae-Kazim Nigerian actor [whose wife is South African] and I thought his feedback on the movie was balanced! He said sure Neill Blomkamp is a great director and the movie allows for employment of African actors. However the negative portrayal of Nigerians in the movie was discouraging. So I know Neill lost a fan in Miss Coily Hair! Thanks guys for your feedback! Liz let me know how it goes for you! Laura, I totally get you on the languages bit!

Very strange, but very well done. I think he should be commended and imitated. The only thing that irritated me though is the Nigerian guy speaking in Swahili. Neil should know that all African languages do NOT sound the same... I saw it last night. Very strange, but very well done. I think he should be commended and imitated.
