Another movie poster for the film District 9.

Showing a huge UFO suspended in mid air over a populated city in the distance.

At the front of the poster there is barbed wire protecting a run down area, almost like slums. At the front of the poster there is a sign with an alien on the front in a red circle saying "No humans allowed."

Then the name of the film and underneath the title says, "you are not welcome here."

The film itself is about aliens living on earth in makeshift wooden shacks, being looking after by the government because their spaceship is unable to fly, so they are living on earth in slums.

The sign is saying no humans allowed, meaning even though it is the humans planet, the aliens have taken over so much land and will not let humans enter and have made it their own. Just in the background is the humans city, which is where the aliens are forbidden. But in the picture they live side by side on earth, forbidding each other to enter their territory. Above the city is their spaceship, which is floating over the city. on the ratio of the picture it clearly shows that the aliens have taken over and everything on earth now revolves around the aliens, so they have taken over completely, only because they had to, because of the ship. In the film the aliens are given the nickname "prawns" because of the way they look.

As your watching the film you realise how unfairly the aliens are being treated by people, and by them having the nickname, I believe it also represents the way black people where/are treated by white people, and how they tried to separate them from society and gave them horrible racist nicknames. It is almost like a hidden message of racism.
