District 9

Science fiction has always been a wonderful genre to explore the human spirit; both the kinder aspects and those less kind. You learn a lot about an individual in witnessing their treatment of other things, especially the powerless and the weak. While human beings are certainly capable of noble intentions and acts, we are also quite susceptible to attitudes of apathy, selfishness, and cowardice. These uglier actions manifest even easier when driven by the repulsion and disgust of a people and culture far, far different than our own.
