I have a question, but I'll throw it in the spoiler...
Spoiler [+]
so I've been reading various sites on the movie, and there are some rumblings that Christopher at one time MAY have been a human. Someone noticed that his eye sockets of all things seem very "human-like." Going off of the Christopher/human theory, he was bleeding when he was getting beaten by the soldier towards the end of the movie. I can't remember off hand, but did any of the other aliens bleed when injured?

main character was bleeding when he cut his tentacle. Also, why would he refer to them as his people then, and the fact that he had a son... orcould operate the alien ships and things. too many things make that theory impossible.

Main character was also a human. I don't think the theory is too far-fetched....Remember, Wikus was able to operate all the weaponry with NO problems (remember when he had the suit on) within 72 hours after being exposed to that goo in the vial. Christopher Johnson had been held captive for 20+ years in South Africa...I think it's plausible that at one point in his life (not just in District 9) he may have been human....not to mention the movie never stated if the Aliens had been to Earth at another time before being stranded in SA.

Im sure this was answered in this thread. But what caused the guy to morph into the alien?

I did notice the difference between christopher and the other aliens but I assumed that it was a sutble difference in order for the viewer
to feel more connection or empathy with the character. Or perhaps characteristics of the more "intelligent" of their species.
Overall I was very impressed with the film, can see it becoming a cult classic !

I'm thinking he was one of the original aliens since he knew a lot about the ships and their home planet (when he was talking to his son).

Also, as far as Christopher's "son," it was never explained if it was his ACTUAL child....for all we know his son could have been some orphanfrom D9 that he took in....

1.They where drones. They couldnt think for them selves they where like ants whitout there queen.
2. Well christopher was one off the smarter prawns they even say it when there trying to evict em. Im think he taught his son alot of there home world and the ship. like an emergancy plan if something went wrong the lil kid would know what to do.
I really enjoyed this movie i dont why some people didnt dig it but to each there own. This is the movie of the year for me it had me
