Which of the two Neill Blomkamp films would you say you enjoy more from it’s thematic subject? I really enjoyed D9 but since I’ve become a Communist I’ve grown a whole new appreciation for Elysium and even considering it as a better film. I guess I say this because I couldn’t relate to apartheid; it’s something South Africans black and white would be more closer to. Apartheid is specific but the class antagonism of Elysium is much more broad and centers around something most Communists fight for and that’s quality healthcare for all.
The theme of Elysium makes it ahead of District 9. It also more accurately portrays the divisions by class, enforced of course, with plenty of police and military violence. Apart from mid-22nd century technology, it’s pretty spot-on as to how the rich and powerful treat the “masses”.
