Also I am looking forward to his new movie this March named Chappie.The movie is about a kidnapped police robot played by Sharlto Copley who played Vickers from district 9 and Kruger in Elysium.

Speaking of Kruger, wasnt the "this movie is not going to get better" moment when Kruger gets his half his head blown off and 5 mins later he is back and better than ever? The whole time after that I am like do the same with Matt Damon and there is zero conflict.

Uh, no.

Everyone in America is not rich. EVERYONE on the station was rich.

It was a commentary on the rich lording over the poor.

Anything else is the bias of your own politics, dislikes, and projections...

Tell me what my politics, dislikes, and projections are captain pseudo psychology.

The director is from ****ing South Africa and has made a point, at every ****ing opportunity, to point out his films reflect that situation.

He has commented numerous times on the idea that wealth equals power and poverty equals helplessness.

To make this a left vs. right argument is ignorance.

This isn't a hollywood agenda film - it's a man with hollywood money making a film...

There's cross over but the movie was clearly an allegory for the US/mexico situation which does include a disparity in wealth... which I think would be obvious to pretty much anyone. YOU are the one projecting. Of course, you probably know better than the director what his influences and aspirations for his movie were. You watched it.

I've said it before, and I"ll say it again... if you're going to be an asshole, be CORRECT.

Here is a quote from Sharlto on Bloomkamps new film it sounds like hes not going to really have a message in this one.

Both District 9 and Blomkamp's sophomore film Elysium had sociopolitical themes. When asked if Chappie also touched upon real world issues, the actor said, "This one no. This one not so much man."

Adding, "This one's having fun. There's not a big social/political message in this one. There are some things that some people might take away, but it's very different from the last two in the way."

This link also has footage of his short film that is the precursor to Chappie called Tetra Vaal. The rap / rave group Die Antwoord plays the gangsters that kidnap Chappie.

Just having Die Antwoord in it is sure to be surreal. I hope they let them run a little wild.
