GENDER:
In the opening scene of District 9 the use of screen graphics introduce the characters to the audience giving name and job description this highlights a negative representation of women as the women's job description is 'wife' 'mother' where all the males will have 'project manager' 'Head of MNU' this represents women negatively as they hold no stable job or have income from a job or intelligence. However the men are represented negatively this is portrayed in the dominating violent morals they hold, having no emotions in the actions they take reference to the scene where 'Smit' is happy to make his daughter suffer while he gains income by her sufferings.
