Altho I already made a post about it Im still very mad. The concept is A COMPLETE RIPOFF! (adventure "deponia")
So the movie, director or anyone claming to have had "the concept idea" does not deserve any love, even hate! -

If it is left wing propaganda it is not particularly successful left wing propaganda.
Its message as far as I can see is that in the future open borders has turned the rich world into a vast slum.
We are then supposed to cheer that everyone can now go to to the one refuge from that slum, Elysium, and then if you think even a few days beyond the film close, presumably turn that into a slum as well. -

As much as I try, I don't get this constant argument about propaganda. Certainly, when I see certain war movies glorifying anti-terrorist operations, it does FEEL like I'm seeing propaganda, somebody trying to make me think or act a certain way towards a point I don't necessarily agree with.
But to make that argument for ELYSIUM If it's true that this is supposed to be propaganda, something trying to make me think a certain way towards a certain person or country
I don't see it, so what do you see that I don't see? Because if it is propaganda, it certainly didn't work on me.

Because it's just Trump-like fear-mongering propaganda. It's way too obvious and simple to the point of being hilarious, and ultimately, it's an insult to any person who holds any political belief about decentralization of power, be it left-wing or right-wing.
I personally feel insulted by the incredibly simplistic, obviously biased premise of this movie. It's an insult to my intelligence to the point it makes me angry. Angry enough to write something about it. -

Blah, Blah, Blah, inequality. Blah, Blah, Blah, immigration. Blah, Blah, Blah, unfair.
It was and is a load of tripe that masquerades as a sci-fi flick, and the disguise is so thin that it's obvious what narrative it being driven. You want to know why the hate? It's because a bunch of know-nothing, feel-everything "do-gooders" keep pushing that same tired narrative down their throat. If the movie actually had a valid premise, then maybe it would have been enjoyable. But it didn't, so it wasn't.
