Yes yes. But the significance of calling it District X, never mind the fact that it is a 9 which is an upside down 6.
Ummm... "X" is 10, not 9.

X as in 'any number', rather than X as in roman numerals, I think.

Also there's (

Oh, please don't go meta. I just don't think I could bear it.

Are you seriously that thick?
No, don't answer that.

Look, I'll make it easy - ask any South African what District 6 is. Heck, tell them about the film and then tell them the title and THEY will be the ones who bring up District 6. There is no way that it is a coincidence and thus no way this film has "nothing" to do with apartheid. Well, the setting at least.
Huh. I just assumed it was called
District 9 because they thought it sounded cool or for whatever other random reason. You know, like how that cheesy French action film which came out a couple years ago was called
District 13.
Of course I suppose that film might have been referencing that particular incident as well.

No, but statistically speaking, you are. Hence my response.
