Elysium
Whether you understand or appreciate astrology or not, this is an excellent critique of the new science fiction / political polemic, "Elysium."
Unlike many lefties I've known, I can actually sit through a propaganda piece that insults my worldview and intelligence. I can still appreciate acting and film-making even when the producer and director have goals beside creative entertainment. The best example, Avatar - nonsense to the extreme. But, I watched it. It had some merits.
I'll watch Elysium. Unlike so many on the left, I can endure a cheesy and transparent expression of the other sides views, if there's something else going on that I can enjoy. I'll watch it but I'll be rolling my eyes.
