I am generally no fan of heavy partisan proselytizing in movies, however, I love science fiction. Blade Runner is the best movie of all time IMHO. My question: are the sci-if aesthetics good enough to overcome the partisanship? Thank you.
shareIf you close your eyes, your ears, your HEART, and refuse to believe there are two societies on this planet (The Rich/The Poor ..Screw The Middle Class) then yes, you can live in your Rush Limbaugh Fantasy World. (I Got Mine-Screw You. Daddy Reagan). I love Jody Foster in this film. One reviewer called her "Dick Cheney in heels." You know my secret fantasy?? Deep in my mind?? Delicious!! Take Dick Cheney to Hue,Vietnam (there is no South Vietnam today, it's one united Republic.) 10,000 people died in Hue in hand-to-hand combat during the Tet Offensive of 1968, While Dick Cheney was enjoying his 5 deferments. Slit Dick Cheney fat throat. Watch him die slowly in the rice patties of Vietnam. YES!!
shareYour funny bro. Stay classy.
shareI'm a liberal-libertarian (European definition) and I'd say that if you love Blade Runner, you won't like this. Blade Runner is the film I'd use to describe what is wrong with this film. Where Blade Runner is grey in its morality and lets the viewer decide what is right and what is wrong, this film leads you by the hand and tells you what you should think.
Don't expect any room to let your own opinions of the world develop. You are told what is right - a direct contrast to the world Blade Runner presents.
Thank you for your opinion. I will avoid this one.
shareThe movie is fine for a heavy action/sci fi fan. The first second of the movie starts with the class struggle, I don't have an issue with it at all. I think Damon and Copley and Foster all played well in their parts and with style and art direction of the dystopian future it felt like an extension of District 9. The hate for the movie baffles me.

The political message in this film is forced and unsatisfying, but I'd still watch it if you love sci-fi action since its a robust, visually beautiful sci-fi action film.
shareOf course Elysium is their wet dream - the only problem is the dummies who are modern day libertarians are very, very unlikely to be the ones who would be the 'chosen'.
'Well I've got two words for you - STFU'
Do only libertarians like BORING movies?
