It turns out that surpassing yourself is the most difficult..., Reivew on Elysium

This sentence has a fateful meaning to the South African director Neill Blomkamp. This genius born in Johannesburg must have experienced the pain of racial discrimination and class antagonism, and the film works are full of strong political implications. The well-known "The Ninth District" can be regarded as a stunning political satire, and it is far from simple as a pseudo-documentary about aliens.

Following on from the grand ambition of the previous one, the director continues to use the eye-catching tricks in "District Nine" to subvert the stale science fiction themes. Unfortunately, the script is too bad at the moment, and there are many inexplicable logical confusions.

I can only sigh that similar future scene designs have been seen too much on the big screen in the past two years. The contrast between the two worlds is definitely not the best. The theme of sacrificing one's life to save the world is more like the carrot and cabbage in the supermarket. It's commonplace. The most worthwhile political metaphor has turned into a funny and powerless plaything. If health care reform and illegal immigration can be solved so easily, won't Obama step down soon?
