Elysium	comment	Elysium is a dystopian Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, and starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Carly Pope, Alice Braga and Diego Luna. It was released on August 9, 2013.In the year 2154, the rich live on Elysium, a Stanford torus high-tech utopian space station watched over by Secretary of Defense Jessica Delacourt (Jodie Foster) located in orbit around Earth which is free of crime, war, poverty, hunger, and disease, while everyone else - a.k.a. the poor - lives on the overpopulated, ruined Earth below. The citizens of Elysium live a life of luxury, which includes access to private medical machines offering instant cures, while the citizens of Earth exist in constant poverty and struggle to survive on a daily basis and desperately try escaping the planet (and not trying to escape the planet to live on Elysium, just to break into someone's house to use a medical machine before they are deported back to earth). Those who maintain Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' lifestyle, even destroying ships that attempt to get there.After an industrial accident leaves him with severe radiation poisoning, thirty-six year-old former car-thief-turned-factory-worker Max DaCosta (Matt Damon) has only five days to get to Elysium in order to be cured. Max straps into a powerful exoskeleton and attempts to kidnap a rich businessman (William Fichtner) in order to steal his identity and hijack his way into Elysium. This pits him against Delacourt and her violent secret police forces, led by Kruger (Sharlto Copley).

Elysium / int_1104ca3f	comment	Cure for Cancer: The Auto Doc units that Elysium makes use of are manufactured by a Mega-Corp known as Armadyne. They'll cure anything from crow's feet to cancer. All it takes is a simple scan and brief surgery. Max DaCosta is trying to get to Elysium because he is dying from extreme radiation exposure, and using a Med-Pod would save his life. Frey, his childhood friend, is also desperate to get to Elysium because her daughter is dying of leukemia.

Elysium / int_11519098	comment	Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: Max does a variation of this, by holding a primed but not live grenade (pin pulled, spoon still attached) to his head when he meets up with Kruger to get a ride up to Elysium. He tells the latter not to try anything funny, or he'll blow his head off, destroying everything that was hijacked from Carlyle. Kruger pretends to fold and coaxes him on board the Raven...where he has Frey and her daughter prisoner, so if the grenade detonates Max kills them as well.

Defied when he tries using it against Max's exosuit - the blade is ruined in just a few swings. Reasons why he is using katana in the first place are unclear, other than the cyberpunk aesthetics being at play.

There's also the remote-triggered explosive shotgun slug, which packed enough explosive power to disable a ship engine. And then we have Kruger's explosive shuriken.

Elysium / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: As with District 9, Neil Blomkamp makes little effort to be subtle in his symbolism. The film is a condemnation of the economic and political disparity between the wealthy and the lower class. The fact that the film is mostly set in America and the downtrodden population is mostly Latino puts its commentary specifically on the issue of Latino immigration in America. The robot says to Max after he's fatally injured, "Thank you for your service."

Elysium / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: Carlyle is a self-made man and is chosen for Delacourt's hijack of Elysium, as he's the one who coded the SABRE defense system in the first place, being a child prodigy hired by Armadyne for it. He also won a humanitarian award for coding the defense system, which fries the attacker's brain. Kruger and his men have steel-reinforced skeletons to facilitate their usage of an exosuit. This helps explains such things as how Kruger is able to overpower Max (albeit only when the latter is distracted) even before getting his own exosuit, why he's seemingly unconcerned about being shot at by 9mm pistol rounds, why he's unharmed by exosuit-powered punches to his unarmored face, and how he can survive a grenade to the face with no brain trauma. Kruger was born in the 1970s, Former Regime Personnel from The Apartheid Era. Med-Pod technology apparently indefinitely extended his lifespan. Kruger, Crowe and Drakey operate their own PMC, known as the Oryx Warfare Group. Both Crowe and Drakey have the OWG patch on their gear, and Kruger's ship, the Raven, has an Oryx spray-painted on it.

Elysium / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License – Biology: Max is dying of radiation poisoning, which is why he wanted to go to Elysium in the first place. A lethal dose of radiation causes your body to rapidly deteriorate, leading ultimately to death. This would have made it nigh impossible to graft in an exo-suit, because Max would not have been able to heal after the operation. If the medication Max was given to "keep him functioning" for five days actually stopped the radiation deterioration to some significant (or very specific) extent in order to keep the suit working, it should have kept him alive a lot longer.

Elysium / int_1bd4c0bf	comment	Unwinnable by Design: The ARG website contains a short "test" supposedly conducted by a robotic official to check if the player (supposedly a person from the impoverished Earth) is fit for a free move to Elysium under some charity program or another. All the questions, however, are rigged, and every possible choice will only ever result in the robot mocking the player before eventually deeming them unfit (for example, in order to test their English skills, the robot will ask the player to type down the word they hear: four/for/fore. Since they all sound exactly the same, naturally every response would result in the robot calling out the player on lacking linguistic skills and deducing points). This does an excellent job of getting future viewers both to sympathize with the frustration of the Earth people and to hate the self-righteous hypocrisy of the Elysians.

Elysium / int_2be271c7	comment	Hollywood Hacking: While hacking is shown with console text and code on believable interfaces, it's still bizarrely easy to reboot the whole space station and rearrange the government and/or citizen registry. This may be justified, as they were using a stolen piece of software that had been written by the original developer explicitly for mounting a coup on Elysium. Also, Spider seems to instantly understand the function of an avalanche of code that is whizzing by his screen. Although played straight in some instances (as above), usually where time is limited (in movie convention sense), over the scope of the entire movie this trope is arguably subverted. For example, actually writing the code for the Elysium reboot requires the original developer to sit down and write out the program painstakingly before it can be used. Furthermore, just getting through the doors in Elysium requires Spider to sit down and use his pre-packaged computer to hack it. In fact, that takes so long on one door that an entire fight scene has time to take place. And even syncing and downloading the data from Carlyle's brain to Max's takes time.

This is also why neither Delacourt or Carlyle think it's odd to have an arms contract with a 200 year lease: they'll both live that long, accidents notwithstanding.

The Med-Pods could easily be supplied to Earth and hence stop the problem of people trying to access Elysium so desperately in the first place (or at least reduce the occurrence substantially)... and this becomes really sickening when it turns out that there are THOUSANDS of these Med-Pods just sitting around in ships that never get used and could have easily been sent down to help people. It would only take a comparatively tiny portion of money to give everyone medical treatment in the first place (or if not everyone, at least have some access to the technology rather than none at all). The fact that this is very much Truth in Television with regards to modern day medicine (and illegal immigration to some extent) makes it much less stupid than the premise would first imply.

Elysium / int_3d59c9a0	comment	Powered Armor: Max DaCosta's third-generation Exosuit gives him the strength to rip machines apart with his bare hands in his quest to reach Elysium. Later, Kruger is outfitted with a sleeker model, which appears to be a fifth-generation exosuit. That said, the armor part of the suit is shown to be distinct from the exoskeleton that allows the protagonist to walk and move. Unlike Max's older model Exosuit, Kruger's has more extensive armour components, including better protection for his torso. His version is also mounted to his existing implants, rather than having it grafted to his bones like Max's.

During the first trip up, their first and last line of defense is essentially to ask politely for the ships to turn around. Droids do show up to round up the immigrants once they actually land, but even this response is ignored when Spider's men show up in the final act (justified only with a throwaway line when Spider tells the rest of his soldiers to keep the robots busy while he locates Max). This is actually a plot point, as Delacourt is chafing under the restrictions that have made Elysium laughably easy to invade.

Elysium / int_8344209e	comment	BFG: Many of the Elysium weapons are stated on the respective wiki as being absurdly heavy or potent, given their size, but significantly less so in the actual film. The modified AKM, equipped with airbursting explosive ammo and a laser rangefinder/designator. Each round packs the explosive power of a modern 40mm grenade round in a smaller package. One of the weapons for the Civil Cooperation Bureau, who supplies the weaponry for the Elysium Defense Forces, is known as the Cousar Crowe Rifle. It's classified as an anti-material rifle, weights 40kg, and fires a .22 non-explosive round at extremely high-velocity. In order to utilize it, the operator has to wear an Exosuit, not just for recoil management reasons, but to provide the damn thing with additional power. Then we have its under-barrel Grenade Launcher, the Sky Sweeper, which is supposed to give the ability to serve as a man-portable air defense system and adds 15kg to the base rifle. It uses a smart surface-to-air grenade round with a 400,000 km range — enough to hit Earth while standing on the moon, yet has problems incapacitating even unarmored humans at less than 20 meters, as seen in the data heist segment. Then there's the ChemRail, which is a man-portable railgun system, which utilizes a dual-propulsion system, using chemical propellant to fire the round and an electromagnetic system to propel it to incredible supersonic velocities. It doesn't get nerfed by the movie, and gives the middle finger to concealment, cover, the laws of physics, and the (presumably reinforced) walls of the armory before disintegrating a Mook. The ammo that it uses is a fin-stabilized, rail-accelerated sabot round. Kruger uses a man-portable quad Surface-to-Space missile launcher, whose two-stage missiles are capable of intercepting (from behind, no less) spaceships traveling at 6 times escape velocity. The missile itself is going about 50 times escape velocity, or 545 kilometers per second, all while being about the same physical size as a baseball bat and apparently having infinite fuel. One of the weapons in the Art of Elysium book that did not make it to the final cut, was a man-portable railgun that was going to be wielded by Crowe, one of Kruger's fellow agents. The design for it was based around the mounted door gun used by Drakey to attack one of the other survivors of the failed heist. The big difference was that it wasn't mounted and that Crowe was going to use it on foot. The power for the weapon would have been drawn from the battery packs bolted to his body armour, just like the power source used to fuel Kruger's personal deflector shield.

Only in the most blatantly self-serving of propaganda would one dare to depict Elysium as an outpost of brave men and women conquering the final frontier, or a shining hope for humanity. Instead it is shown to be very much a lifeboat for the one percent to save themselves while leaving the rest of humanity to rot. Of course, the goal of the immigrants is not to destroy the wasteful one-percenter colony, but to journey to it and live there themselves. It could be said that the problem is that they only built the one and won't actually colonize the solar system proper.

Perhaps most glaringly, Elysium has a Panacea installed in every home - literal universal healthcare - which is withheld from the working-class Earthlings by Elysium, and any attempts by the residents of Earth to seize this healthcare for themselves are violently clamped down on using missiles and Ax-Crazy off-the-books mercenaries like Kruger.

However, he (like Delacourt, and, it's somewhat implied, many Elysians), seems slightly robotic, which may be the source of his imperturbability. Mind you, he still had the occasional small spazz and yelp. It's still impressive that he wasn't screaming and flailing. Another explanation could be his age: the guy is over 140 years old and also one of the few Elysians who regularly conduct business on Earth, so it's not unreasonable to assume that this isn't the first time he's the target of such an attack, thus turning his weirdly nonchalant behavior into a practiced routine.

DeCosta has acute radiation syndrome after being accidentally locked in a radiation chamber. While the five days he is given to live (though unusually precise) are entirely realistic, the movie doesn't make much of an issue that DeCosta is now a likely radiation hazard to other people who requires decontamination. A hazard droid is used to remove him from the chamber, suggesting that he's dangerously irradiated. Albeit, if they were indeed decontaminated properly, then they wouldn't pose a risk to people around them but this gets Handwaved seemingly with some Phlebotinum Pills they take.

It doesn't turn the chamber off, of course; it's more like "By the way, you're cooking some dude."

Elysium / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The Civil Cooperation Bureau, who provides most of the weaponry in the setting, shares a name with the real-life Civil Cooperation Bureau, which was a government-sponsored hit squad within the South African Defense Force, during The Apartheid Era. Agent Kruger, played by South African actor Sharlto Copley, is a member of the CCB who works as a Sleeper Agent for the Elysium Defense Forces. The members of his team are also white South Africans, very tellingly. Sharlto Copley has mentioned that he and the production team based Kruger's look and accent on a composite of different things. The camo that Kruger wears, as well as Drakey and Crowe is the exact camo worn by the SADF during The Apartheid Era. Kruger's beard and shorts is a reference to the 32 Battalion, which was a special light infantry battalion for the SADF. The accent is particular to the Cape Flats region of South Africa. Judging by Kruger's age, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he was with the 32 Battalion of the SADF and hails from Cape Flats. Kruger's name is a reference to Freddy Krueger, and has the personality to match. To Johnny Mnemonic: Brain up/downloading and a rogue techie named Spider? One of the screens on Kruger's ship shows a computer rendering of the Death Star. The Exo-suits used by both Max and Kruger look similar to what the Hyperion corporation uses for its Mooks.

Not that Patel's any more tolerant of undesirables from Earth, but he prefers to simply round them up and deport them. Delacourt is a slight example, as her stated reason for taking control of Elysium is to ensure a future for the children of Elysium and out of fear of the hordes of illegals breaking into the station. Of course, the fact that all that the illegals want is medical care and nearly all of them are crippled or incredibly ill, makes her justification more Paranoia Fuel than anything else (she also orders attacks on defenseless shuttles, killing everyone inside, rather than let the incredibly capable robot cops deal with things and just deport people).
