Elysium revolves around the idea of a dystopian world wherein the rich rule. These people stay in a separate satellite home that supplies them with everything that they need, and probably everything that they would want. People who were either criminals, ordinary, or for a better word, POOR, were to remain in a very polluted Earth without all the means for survival.
This film had been set in the future, keeping in mind, once more, the satellite world of the rich. New technologies had been created such as internal brain information storage devices, robot policemen/body guards, space shuttles that could withstand being able to slice through the earth's atmosphere easily and even robotic skeletons that enhance human strength.
The whole movie had been a big mix of plot twists. The biggest one would have to be he idea of Max dying n the next five days. But an even more striking scene in the film would be how Max had just decided to get himself that robotic exoskeleton. The whole process was too graphic, but it left an impression saying that advancements are certainly fruits of one's imagination and determination.
After the film, however, I couldn't help but hope that the film will never be the outcome of the future. I dislike the idea of classifying the rich from the poor, the able from the disabled, and basically the social meaning that the film is standing for. Yes, I understand that there is a need for order, but that type of order is just itching for a revolt. Blood, if that is of any importance to those who live in Elysium.
