I think you are probably best reading the wikipedia entry for it, especially the themes section

That said, we root for him in the film as his dilemma becomes more and more serious. Why? It's an ambivalence I can't quite shake. He has a certain humanity to him but is very selfish on the whole, even towards the end of the film. It's a bit of a clichéd remark, but I found Wikus himself to be quite alien in so much as he doesn't appear to fit... anywhere. Briliant film, brilliant characterisation.

I am number 4
Was expecting this to be a bit dire, but was very plesantly surprised! Effects were very well rendered and believable. The only part i didnt enjoy was the lead guy was too buff and made me feel very jealous. Grrrrrr 8/10 Waiting for the sequels! |
