Because that's what movies are about. Ideas. Are you a hater of movies?
Why do you have to use the word hater? and I am not a big movie fan.
I do watch movies form time to time but I am by no means a movie buff. I have better things to do than sit in a dark theatre or in front of the TV for 2 hours.
And in case you miss the heavy-handed Liberal messages you're bludgeoned with in Elysium, they'll take another shot with Snowpiercer, coming later this year: "The film is set in a future where a runaway experiment to stop global warming has caused an ice age that killed nearly all life on the planet. The only survivors are the inhabitants of the 'Snowpiercer', a massive train that travels around the planet and is powered by a perpetual-motion engine. Over time a class system evolves on the train, with the elites inhabiting the front of the train and poor inhabiting the back of the train. Tired of their poor living conditions, the riders in the back revolt, attempting to seize control of the engine, which the elites in the front consider sacred."
I thought I saw Elysium about 8 years ago, when it was called Land of the Dead. A movie where the elite lived in a luxury skyscraper while the poor were stuck living in the zombie-infested slums below.

Why wouldn't I use the word hater? You have a problem with that word? Really?
If you have better things to do & aren't a movie fan, why start this thread then? Why waste the time & energy?
Yea it would suck if like 1% of the population controlled nearly all money and looked down upon the 99% as if they were worthless scum. It would really suck if the 1% didn't really work but gained money through a pyramid scheme type financial system where you make money off money. Glad that's not happening...

Ok Calm down and take your chill pill.
Not everyone who disagrees with you or dislikes something is a hater.
I am not a Movie buff, I do watch movies here and there. I am more than able to comment on messages Hollywood throws in its movies.
I started a thread because that is what you can do on CD Forum.

But dont worry those people in Hollywood will be fighting for the poor!
Fighting from their verandas overlooking the Pacific!

See there are these persistent themes of human life and people return time and time again to these themes and reinterpret them in literature, film, poems, paintings, etc. You didn't pay attention in your high school English classes, did you?
