Quentin: What did you think of this one?
Jason: We went to see Elysium yesterday.
Jake: I thought it was great, but I know it left you cold,
Q.
Quentin: Everything is leaving me cold these days. Maybe I
should let you guys talk for a while.
Jason: Elysium is a dystopian sci-fi story set in the year
2154. The earth has been ravaged by disease and poverty, so the super-rich
escape to a giant space station in the sky called Elysium. The director, Neill
Blomkamp…
Jake: Who also directed District 9.
Jason: Thank you. He said the movie is very much about
today, and he’s right. Just like I think The Hunger Games isn’t fantasy, the
attitudes of the 1% in this movie are the same attitudes we live with now.
