Elysium depicts a near-future Earth in which the majority of rich and privileged humans have migrated to an orbiting space station which gives the film its title. The city-state hogs the advanced medical resources of Earth, leaving the people on the planet below in a perpetual state of lawlessness and impoverishment. Matt Damon stars as Max Da Costa, a former criminal who, while doing dangerous work, is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation, giving him just five days to live. He soon obtains an exo-suit to augment his failing body. It’s then discovered that Max has data hidden in a chip in his brain that can, in theory, alter the computer systems running Elysium, which will benefit all the people who don’t live there.
I mean, you can attack capitalism with an irrelevant argument and call it an attack on capitalism, but it won’t be a very good attack. It’s like me trying to say Johnny Cash songs are bad because he’s ugly.
Saying capitalism is bad because the people in charge are abusive doesn’t help in pointing out why we shouldn’t use capitalism. Kings and whatever communist leaders are called can also be abusive and it’s not because their system is inherently bad.
My point is that a weak argument can hardly be called “the greatest anti capitalist movie”.
