Today, I watched a movie named "Elysium," which was assigned by our lecturer in the Citra course. Our homework involves watching this movie and writing down our thoughts on how biotech influences our lives.
"Elysium," directed by Neill Blomkamp and released in 2013, is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that explores themes of inequality, health care, and immigration. Set in the year 2154, the film presents a starkly divided world where the wealthy reside on space station called Elysium, enjoying advanced technology and perfect health, while the rest of humanity lives on an overcrowded, devastated Earth. The story follows Max Da Costa, played by Matt Damon, a former car thief turned factory worker who lives in the ruins of Los Angeles. After being exposed to a lethal dose of radiation at work, Max is left with only five days to live. Desperate for a cure that is only available on Elysium, he agrees to a dangerous mission that could not only save his life but also bring equality to the polarized worlds. Max's journey is fraught with challenges, including battling Elysium's Secretary Delacourt, played by Jodie Foster, who is determined to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of Elysium's inhabitants at any cost, even deploying deadly robots to enforce the strict immigration laws.
The film culminates in an intense confrontation that questions the moral and ethical boundaries of human rights and the distribution of wealth and resources.
