The movie tells what the future world will look like: the earth has become dilapidated, the rich have built a space station in space called Elysium, and the poor can only survive on the devastated earth. The male protagonist, who was born in an orphanage, sacrificed himself because of fate, allowing the poor on earth to have the opportunity to enter the blissful space and enjoy the same medical conditions as the rich.
This is a movie that deeply reflects reality/concerns about the development of reality through the future. Every foreshadowing and statement of the movie reflects the current situation in blood.
The beginning of the film shows the polarized life of the rich and the poor: the rich live in a beautiful environment like the Maldives and enjoy perfect medical care (no matter what disease they get, they can lie on a machine similar to a CT scan, and get it right away. cure). The poor live in dilapidated and dirty environments, where poverty and disease go hand in hand.
Then, the film shows the insurmountability of class: the poor are not allowed to enter the blissful space, even if the smuggling method shown in the later part of the film will be immediately attacked and destroyed by missiles ruthlessly. People who are lucky enough to enter the bliss space will not be able to enjoy advanced medical treatment without a computer-recognized ID (the ID is integrated into the blood), and will be ruthlessly expelled.
After the background is explained, the difficult situation of the male protagonist is revealed, that is, social discrimination and the oppression of the company: the male protagonist was once imprisoned for crimes such as theft. Tolerate any humorous words that will hurt the male lead. The male protagonist still has to go to work with his broken arm. In the company, rest time (no more than several times a day, no more than 6 minutes each time) and hourly performance requirements (not meeting the requirements will be dismissed). This can't help but remind me of famous companies like Foxconn and Huawei. Their fame is not only because of their product popularity, but also because of their strict management. Although it's not as extreme as it is in the movie.
The male protagonist also had to enter the radiation room to solve the problem because of the company's ruthless management method, in order to keep his job and complete the target, resulting in the male protagonist being exposed to a lot of radiation. In the face of such incidents, the company's top management only asked to take the male lead away as soon as possible, and did not want to soil the mat. These prompted the male protagonist to enter the blissful space regardless of the cost, so that he could heal himself. The huge gap and only money is the background of the picture. Human nature has no place to stand. People are just tools to make money. If the tools are broken, they become a burden and have no meaning.
At the same time, the political situation in Elysium is also very unstable. Delacourt, a government official, did not hesitate to use force to eliminate the innocent poor who smuggled in, but also to keep the status of the rich in Elysium, and leave this paradise for his (rich) descendants for the longest time. But her extreme approach was opposed by many government officials in Elysium. In order to achieve this purpose of her own, she does not hesitate to use psychologically distorted agents. Get the entrepreneur to write the program to restart the political situation using the idea of the entrepreneur wanting to keep the company. Politics is full of bloodshed and behind-the-scenes deals everywhere, and people can't help but sigh.
The following plot enters the traditional mode, and the male protagonist got the restart program by accident. For the sake of thousands of poor people on the earth, the male protagonist sacrificed his life to change the situation, so that both the poor and the rich can Equally enjoy advanced medical treatment, breaking the physical barrier that is difficult to surpass.
The extreme polarization between the rich and the poor was broken because of the hero's intervention, which made the whole film achieve a kind of beauty in a sad tone, and also completed a spiritual sustenance for the viewers. Be a hero or wait for the hero's redemption, or watch a movie and talk about masturbation, depending on your circumstances and choices.
