The story has a good idea, but there are serious problems with the idea

5 points, if you haven’t watched "The Ninth District", you will definitely give 4 points. Unfortunately, Zhuyu is in front, so I can only give this point.) As a South African-born Canadian director, Bromkamp’s No. The feature film "The Ninth District" sets the story in Johannesburg where he lives and grows in a reasonable and reasonable way. After nearly four years of acclaim, the director, who was well-received and well-received at the box office, finally brought his new work "Elysium". The movie tells about the world setting in 2159: the poor live in a polluted, crowded, dirty, and dilapidated earth (every place on the earth looks like Johannesburg in the Ninth District?), and the rich live in a noble community without disease Elysium on the space orbit of aging and death. The rich still control the industrial production on the planet, and the poor have to work hard to work in factories to make ends meet, and from time to time they want to sneak into the dream Elysium illegally. Advanced automatic robots with superior combat effectiveness oppress and manage the poor as accomplices of the rich. The heroine Rhodes, played by Judy Foster, is a government official of Elysium to crack down on illegal immigrants, while the troubled hero Max, played by Matt Damon, must come to Elysium to complete his mission in order to save himself and others. This was originally a very interesting story structure that could be told like "The Ninth District", but the director Bromkamp either took a large investment and must be cautious, or he is indeed limited by his own ability and cannot continue. Digging into the meaning of this story, the whole film was shot smoothly, politically correct and nothing new. Compared with the previous work "District Nine", the action explosion scene of "Elysium" has been greatly improved (some of the scenes are slightly bloody), but the story tells nothing new. Irony and metaphor are the director’s very talented methods in the filming of "District Nine", but in "Elysium", the overly straightforward expression of "medical" and "immigrant" are the two most controversial American society nowadays. The issue is obviously a bit of overkill and chicken thieves. In the United States, any heated debate on a social issue (whether it is the health care bill or immigration reform) cannot have a black and white discourse of justice and evil. Healthcare reform itself is a very difficult issue. Medical reforms around the world have hardly been successful: if medical treatment is to be efficient, it is impossible to cover everyone, and if it is to cover everyone, there is no way to achieve high medical efficiency, because the overall resources are always limited. The Obama administration is compulsory to implement universal health insurance, whether the efficiency of medical treatment is improved. Another thing is that Medicaid and Medicare’s medical expenditures are rapidly swelling and taxpayers continue It's indisputable to be forced to burn money frantically. In addition, simply speaking of the immigration bill currently debated in the U.S. Congress, the Senate has passed the House of Representatives and has not yet passed it. Idea; but on the other hand: 11 million illegal immigrants are bleached all at once, how can problems such as taxation, welfare, education and medical treatment be solved in one package? And isn't this discriminating against legal immigrants who entered the United States through hard work on the one hand, and on the other hand, it further encourages illegal immigrants to continue smuggling into the United States? By the same token, in "Elysium", the director set up such a worldview without any background, and the audience does not know how humans on earth have become such a way in more than 100 years. Just know that the rich oppress the poor to live in Elysium, and the poor can only live on the earth when they are oppressed, so where there is oppression, there must be resistance. Another serious problem is that after the hero Max gave up his selfless efforts for the people, all the people on the earth finally received the long-lost medical treatment and equality. However, the snakehead who originally operated the space smuggling business changed his mind and became a resident of Elysium after the system restarted, and ordered the robot to arrest the former high-ranking government official of Elysium. Overthrew the oppression and finally gained a new life! The poor on the earth finally gained equality and freedom after defeating the rich on Elysium. Long live! Wait, does this plot sound familiar? Not a taste, a little strange? Yes, think about Zhu Chongba and A Bian, aren't they all like this, Diaosi turned around and became the master, did tmd finally have the plot routine it is today? Then what? Of course, the film director will not continue to tell you what will happen (there may be a sequel to the film, but I don’t know how it will be shot). But this story should be familiar to the people of the celestial dynasty, so there is no need to go into it in detail. The most likely result is that the former diaosi became the rich and handsome of the noble community and became even more unscrupulous, bullying and squeezing colleagues who were the same as I once, unscrupulously enjoying and grabbing wealth: my tmd finally has today. Perhaps director Bromkamp grew up in South Africa in a turbulent transitional era, witnessed the immortal glory of the great man Nelson, and rooted out the seeds of liberalism and equal human rights in his heart. He must stand against inequality and issue his own opinions. sound. But the question is, South Africa has indeed achieved racial equality and social transformation. What will happen after that? How about the last twenty years? The deterioration of law and order, the drain of talents, the surge in welfare expenditures, and the slow economic development, it must be said that there is no explanation for race. Seeing the problem, I feel sad to call for natural and easy, how to solve the problem, guide There is no better solution for acting besides drawing us a pie of equality and freedom. Doesn't it matter? Anyway, as long as the viewers look at it and let out a bad breath, that's enough, isn't it? PS1: Is Bugatti the real luxury? PS2: Matt Damon and Judy Foster’s acting skills did not disappoint. PS3: The film’s all kinds of unscrupulous black: LA’s dios and old inks all speak Spanish; Elysium’s noble community Bai Fumei speaks French; the Chinese people are Asian The only place where the appearance appeared was a technician/engineer who had an operation and was strangled to death by the male protagonist; my big LA was blacked into scum, is it really suitable for you, director? PS4: The Heavenly Dynasty should stop expecting other people's problems. If the social transformation can not be achieved, don't force to say what these discussions have practical significance for us: the fleeing and hungry people who can't eat should not worry about the diabetes and hyperlipidemia caused by obesity.
