....
The first parallel I thought the director was trying to lead the audience to is a parallel with the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp. I think the director was hanging his premise on two things....the detaining of alien innocents and the torture of the camp detainees.

If the director was trying to lead the audience into making this parallel in order to make an implicit political statement about the United States and Guantánamo then I think he stretched the parallel too far as I see the District 9 camp as a "far distant" parallel as the root cause for Guantánamo is a polar opposite.
