Elysium Movie Summary

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2016)

The theme of the movie Elysium is focused more toward a social injustice between citizen of earth and citizen of Elysium. People of earth were depriving to receive health treatment where millions of citizen were dying from illness that could otherwise be cured by the Elysium medical technologies. Corruption burst out, crime rate increased, theft skyrocketed, hunger strike, children are malnutrition, and while all of these happen the rich citizen of Elysium are having a far better life. Elysium corporation uses earth citizen as a slave for workers, paying them as low as possible and replacing them if needed.
Two of the movies main cast are Max actor Matt Damon and Delacourt actress Jodie Foster. Max after he has been diagnosed with a serious illness where he has only five days to live, he does everything in his power to purchase a ticket to Elysium to cure himself before it's too late. Max was told by spider he needs to get data transmitter from one of the citizen of Elysium if he wants to go to Elysium. On his journey to retrieve the data, Max got shut by Kruger who was hired by Delacourt to retrieve the data that was stolen from one of Elysium's citizen.
At this stage, the movie is already highlighting some of real life experience that is reflective by people where citizen in Africa today are facing the same challenge. A challenge where they have no clean water, high unemployment, hunger, famine, and high rate of illiterate. In consequence of such event, there is high crime rate especially on the slump, theft, murder, and illegal trades. Eventually citizen of these countries as it happens in many African countries protects against their government and worst case scenario the diseases that were ignored by first world country eventually affect them. That is why injustice system should be taken serious before further consequence becomes inevitable.
Max noticed at the end of the movie his last option before they get arrested is to give restore the injustice system between earth and Elysium back to balance by restore all the files in Elysium and making all earth citizens, citizens of Elysium. The android police received an update patch into their software where they started to send out medical aid back to earth to cure all the citizens of Elysium of illness regardless of its severity.
