In “Attack the Block,” Should You Side With Criminals Or Aliens?

August 5th, 2011 · No Comments

The fabulous Monkey See blog at NPR just posted my story on the tantalizing ethical issues in the new alien invasion movie Attack the Block.

Here’s a snippet:

When we first meet Moses, the hero of Attack the Block, we’re supposed to hate him. This is before gorilla-like aliens with glowing fangs swarm his London housing project and before he becomes the reluctant leader of the resistance. This is when he’s just a teenage thug with a gang of friends, attacking a woman on the street.

Have you seen the movie? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
