Confused to be a hero

In a certain month of a certain year, the earth's environment was too bad, so a commercial company built a bliss space outside the earth. Politicians, rich people moved there. It's hard to get a ticket! They control the inhabitants of Earth by robotic violence and capitalist exploitation. This is already quite politically incorrect. The rich go up to a market economy, but under a democratic system, it is impossible for politicians to monopolize medical technology and control the earth. So there is no doubt that at that time it was a robot dictatorship.
But the film downplays this point. Although the president is on Elysium and can still be elected, it seems to be a pseudo-democratic system (I still don’t understand how restarting the system is related to re-election of the president. Rather, after restarting the system, the president Deprived of the ultimate power to control Elysium, the robot does not listen to him, just like the right to launch a nuclear weapon, so it has lost its legitimacy, so it must be reconfirmed, which will cause objections at this time.) The raid was not to resist tyranny, but to fight for the right to life. The most prominent part of the film is the medical treatment of serious illness!
Max, a victim of a sweatshop, a reformed loser, blamed the society, and finally had to take the risk and save his life.
The smuggling group actually helped Max in the end. It was undoubtedly self-defeating, which was a bit weird. What benefits can he gain from civic openness? It's weird that his own leg hasn't healed yet! Maybe he was just for his legs. But will the smugglers have no money?
Agent, a very perverted person, but it is undoubtedly due to the environment of the earth! The Secretary of Defense, on the more rational side, tried to defend access to Elysium. They have a business relationship with the boss of the big group, it can be said to be a power capital group!
Max ended up sacrificing himself for his girlfriend, opening up the citizens of the blissful space, but this must be an idealistic leftist view. It can also be said that medical benefits are needed by everyone, but obtaining them by this means will undoubtedly damage the fairness of the entire society! But Max actually did it for his girlfriend, and at first he didn't want to open the citizenship registration. But seeing so many poor children with physical illnesses, they really should take care of them! No matter where the wealth comes from, you cannot despise the earth, because the earth and its people are the source of all wealth!

What is self-motivation? It's not that the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law and in turn persecutes others, but to be a good person, not willing to be lazy! Such self-motivation is more welcome!
