It doesn't matter how many streets this movie is different from "District 9", no matter how simple the story is, no matter how ugly the heroine is, and no matter why people can stand and live for five days after being exposed to lethal radiation, such a logical flaw ...
all of this is put in the back of your mind, and if you measure it according to the standard of "a good movie is what you can take away after watching it, and it can cause thinking", then I can say that this is a good movie.
When the Elysium floating in the sky appeared, the picture of the movie in my mind always complemented several other pictures: "The Lord of the Rings", "Journey to the West", and "The Great Gatsby". I feel that these four films have different forms. , The works of different themes and different time and space are telling a story. This blissful world is very similar to the Lord of the Rings, Tang monk meat and the green light in front of Daisy's gate.
The director didn't tell us, and he hadn't had time to think about it. Finally, Elysium was opened to people. The world seems to be free, democratic and equal. Everyone can live forever. So what is the new and more terrifying problem? Can immortality and immortality solve the ultimate problem of mankind? But in "The Lord of the Rings", the director told us that Aladdin's magic lamp or Doraemon's pocket-like Lord of the Rings is actually a person's inner demon. Magic bowl, magic pot, magic pot. In "The Great Gatsby", Fitzgerald tells us that even if we try our best to reach that "Elysium", the green light representing the so-called "American Dream", in the end, is nothing but a falsehood, and the Elysium still remains. It's Elysium, and even if you try your best to get a ticket to get in, you're still a kid from a slum.
In fact, there are bliss and slums everywhere in life. The so-called bliss and hell are like light and darkness. They are relative existences. Or, they are just the existence of our hearts. Yes, you can say, it's a bit spiritual. Discussing with BF, he said that the pursuit of a better life is everyone's instinct, and it is also because of this that the world or human beings will progress. But what is beauty? If that "Elysium" has become a Lord of the Rings, a green light in front of Daisy's gate, or the Tang Monk meat that everyone wants to bite, would you still pursue it? Mammy said to Max, don't forget where you came from. I think this is the best line arranged by the director of the whole film. Maybe today each of us is rushing towards the blissful world we think, maybe that blissful world has no end at all, there is more bliss behind bliss, there is super bliss, and the invincible bliss of the universe, but don't let everything change Intentional demons make you become a trapped beast, and finally forget where you started from.
Writing here, I seem to have found a way to comfort myself. However, if there is a world of bliss floating above me at this time, I may also be like Max, desperate to go, just like I am better for a house, a car, and a bigger house at this time. The car rushes to the death.
