Why didn't anyone on earth just take the idea of this illness healing machine and build their own version of it? it doesn't have to be fancy or anything just a DYI version. in other scifi stories for example, they explain it like "ancient technology" or something that normal people do not understand. Why does Elysium not apply a force field on top of their colony to prevent immigrants from sneaking in ? in one scene one of the characters used a force field to deflect bullets so the technology is there. Why exactly are rich people so evil? its like they want earthlings to revolt against them.
thats some of the things I remember. |
The problem is that it was probably meant symbolic like present 1st world and 3rd world, but it just didn't work on this level.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
