Just because Damon sacrificed himself doesn't make the ending good, literally magic machines from the sky came down and healed all the "good" little third worlders, it's the stupidest thing imaginable.

>dumb white bois anoyed the ending didn't end in explosions and instead people were helped

It's fine. Interesting enough to be entertaining, but too hamfisted to be actually thought-provoking

The severity of your mental retardation is approaching levels never before seen.

>>84242342

the movie is about a warning of a refugee crises though. the entire setting is a complete third world to the point where the rich just go live in space instead.

>>84242342
Why do you think that Elysium didn't make these miracle machines wildly available? There's pretty much 3 reasons
>they're very resource dependent and it's fuel is limited
>lack of these machines on earth increases mortality rates and prevents a more rapid expansion of the already large population
>hurr we're just evil rich people who don't want to help the filthy earthers
Clearly almost no one on the surface from what we've seen manages to amount to anything or do spectacular things and only work regular jobs. The most likely outcome is like I said, that the Earth will become overpopulated at a faster rate than it would have been before and countless die from starvation, or just continuously create more pollution until the atmosphere is destroyed and earth becomes unlivable.
It's not mental gymnastics, it's just common sense as to what will happen

Despite the obvious leftie angle, it's actually a great representation of how the world would look like in next hundred years. Poor brown/black/mixed population living in garbage on Earth, being policed by robots built by White elite that lives in space. I rewatch occasionally with that thought in mind. Amazing production and design of Elysium. Looks almost like alt-right sci-fi.

>>84242439
>they're very resource dependent and it's fuel is limited
That can't be the case, because everybody in Elysium had one of the miracle beds in their homes.

>hurr we're just evil rich people who don't want to help the filthy earthers
That's the most likely reason.

Keeping a handful of machines on earth would be a tremendous incentive to keep productivity up among the workforce. Basically, make a system that productivity earns you points, and by accumulating enough points you will gain an use of the machine. No more unrest, no more niggers and spics invading your station, and everybody will happily work their ass off and be thankful for it.

I honestly don't understand the plot of this film. So apparently there's this Elite Wealthy Space Colonists living in this exclusive Space Station, but the problem is they don't share their advanced technology with the rest of humanity?

Why? Those health pods and other advanced technologies can be easily manufactured. The Space Elite Colonists literally have hundreds of those and they can make more. Why wouldn't they share their technology with the Earth?

At the very least, the people of Earth standard of living will increase to the point that their emigration will vastly decrease, their population will begin to stabilize, and they will no longer suffer perpetual poverty and ask for handouts.

I know it's supposed to be some allegory for real life. But it doesn't make sense. Real life doesn't have those affordable, easily manufactured futuristic health pods that can cure all the health problems for all people around the world.

Elysium literally represents silicone valley and the Bay Area. Liberals didn't like the way the movie portrayed them so they shat on this movie with the reviews.

Overall it's pretty good and very red pilled.

>Matt Damon plays a mexican

>>84243570
>Implying the world didn't almost convict a guy for raising drug prices
>Implying the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry doesn't exist

It is an allegory. Wealthy people can afford to live longer and be healthier. Overly-Wealthy people can afford to dictate who lives longer.

>>84243570
>Why? Those health pods and other advanced technologies can be easily manufactured. The Space Elite Colonists literally have hundreds of those and they can make more. Why wouldn't they share their technology with the Earth?

And massively increase numbers of the poor population on the already overpopulated littered planet? For fucking what?

There's some stupid stuff but there's lot's of solid action so it doesn't really matter, and I still love that style of sci-fi Blomkamp does with everything. The setting makes more sense when you just accept that it's an extreme parody of the present day rather than a serious prediction of the future.

People who have better access to health care is usually an indication they are now able to afford other investments, products, and services, like education and contraception. Just look at India: over a billion in population, but once their quality of life improved, their birth rates are now at replacement level (2.2).

This is without the First-World healthcare developed countries are afforded today. Thailand (1.5), Vietnam (1.96), Burma (2.1), all have fertility rates at or even below replacement level once their quality of life improved. All of these countries are not developed nations, all of these States report below a GDP per capita lower than 10,000. None of them have First World health care access, or even higher access to contraception.

Hell, look at the Philippines. 2.9. It's a country that actively discourages contraception, has outlawed abortion, doesn't recognize divorce, and actively encourages population growth, even out-of-wedlock births and teenage pregnancy (bunch of uncaring, ignorant, sociopathic savages). Yet their country is heading towards sub-replacement fertility levels.

This is all happening in real life, all without the access of Med-Bays. If Med-Bays existed today, their populations would begin to stabilize even further and populations would decrease due to couples realizing they no longer need to produce more children. More educated adults existing with access to contraception have less desire to have offspring.

Some decent action.

>>84244690
>discourages contraception, has outlawed abortion, doesn't recognize divorce, and actively encourages population growth, even out-of-wedlock births and teenage pregnancy
Yet Filipinos wonder and complain why they're so poor, overpopulated, and crime-infested? Literally the majority of their problems are self-inflicted, problems that can easily be solved. Let the country burn. Let their people suffer. If they want to continue walking towards perdition, we should let them. They will be a fine example of a country with poor population management.

>>84244690
You're talking about the Western-dominated world and an economy that it maintains. In scenario of Elysium all West will be in space and a completely ravaged Earth will be populated with low IQ brown savages. Even if you improve their healthcare they still will have no place to successfully integrate and sustain a good economy. Because they're still low IQ brown savages. Healthy and alive ones, but still. So they continue to work on shitty jobs, live in dirt and kill each other in gang violence.

>>84242286
I get the same vibes from the end of Fury Road, it's sad that first worlders are being conditioned to think that letting the undisciplined masses have unlimited access to carefully cultivated and preserved resources is a good idea.

Really, it's a bit of a shame because a director with balls could have used Elysium to show the ultimate futility of our current relief system in places like Africa.

>Same movie only the current ending happens roughly in the middle of the film
>Show local strongman warlords immediately take control of the healing machines
>Warlords extort the people who need healing and treat them even worse than Elysium ever did
>Fast forward 20 years, huge population explosion, warlords have enslaved much of the population via debt over using the healing machines, use propaganda to make them think they need to heal literally every minor problem
>Protag2.0 finally has enough, forces Elysium to get it's head out of it's ass, leads the charge to overthrow the corrupt 'governing party' the warlords established
>Uses Elysium tech/resources to actually build infrastructure and agricultural systems to feed and support the population
>Movie ends on a good note with several more Elysiums planned as the destitute third worlders are finally ready to join mankind in the stars

>>84245009
None of the countries reporting lowering birth rates mentioned in that anon's post are Caucasians or even Westernized. In fact, most of them, especially the Filipinos, are low-IQ brown savages, but they're still reporting lower birth rates on an annual basis due to the mere fact that having children is a burden to most people who are educated enough to realize it.

It predicts the future of Western civilization quite nicely. The powerful and rich will always find the better "lands" and leave the masses to begging and rooting in the dirt. I could see how some take this movie as a message about "poor ethnics should be treated with eqaulity" or some shit, but I think it's more of an honest prediction. He even goes out of his way to have a white male in the lead when it probably should be a shit skin given the overall population in his movie, and even one of the antagonist's is a white male.

But because he reached too far, everyone shits on him. District 9 did well because it was a fresh new director with a lower budget. Now everyone has seen that, they have trouble watching anything else objectively.

>>84243570
They still depend on Earth resources to keep their orbital colony going. The processes on Earth that they rely on are subject to past, current and future conditions, such as the working force and the ability to keep said working force in check (so they don't demand more and make it hard for the wealthy to keep doing what they are doing and even do more). Sharing their tech with the masses creates problems with maintaining their processes and thus creates problems for their orbital colony.

>>84242685
The number of people on elysium were relatively few compared to the ocean of people who will line up to use them now. Also, the fact the people who owned them were wealthy implies the expensive nature of the technology.

Pretty sure he had to make concessions in order to market and distribute this film. The uplifting happy ending, displaying the poor masses in a sympathetic tone while displaying the rich few in a more sterile non-emotional way; all this was probably done with a purpose of getting this film made and put in as many theaters as possible. Good luck getting a high budget sci fi film made that shows the poor ethnic masses as the problem and the rich white people as sympathetic.

Yeah except that the plot revolves around magical healthcare boxes, with seemingly unlimited resources built in, so it forces you to wonder why the evil nasty elites hate the poor so much that they would deny those doe-eyed minorities and poors access to their veritable contains of youth.

This. I don't get why the film makes it seem like the future is going to be completely dominated by Spanish-speaking/South American countries. Have people look at the fertility rates of Spanish-speaking/South American countries? Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay have below replacement levels as we speak. Hell, Mexico and Argentina are at replacement level right now, so you can't even count them growing in the future. It's Africa and parts of Asia that will make up most of the growth. The people that believe South America will dominate the world population are simply mistaken. South America is transitioning to European levels of HDI, they're going to grow exponentially and there isn't going to be billions of them flooding the rest of the world due to their living conditions.
