I haven’t seen the movie but I find it interesting that the “elite” live in this out of touch world and the commoners live in the waste land of former earth. So the people in charge, the “elites” either destroyed the world or were at least responsible for it getting that bad. After all their ideas failed they moved away from the common people whose lives and world they destroyed.
Sort of sounds like America today. The elites party on Martha’s Vineyard while the nation suffers. The elites change the way healthcare is delivered and exempt themselves from it. Millions on food stamps and crooks fill their pockets with tax dollars to failed companies. Our justice Department is encouraging racial crime at the same time trying to disarm us. The list goes on.
How could the entire crew working on this picture not see the irony of producing this picture?
You could almost see the construction sign outside the White House
“Future home of Elysium”,
Obama’s stimulus package #52,
Your tax dollars at work
We already have a defacto "Elysium" here on Earth. The elites (like Soros) still occupy the same planet but live behind walls, penthouses, islands, etc. They go between secure locations on helicopters, bulletproof tank vehicles and private airports/planes. Some even have private mini hospitals for only their immediate family. Their social circle is an echo chamber of near identical people from closed social clubs. They are insulated from average people like never before in history.
