Hello, All. Been a while.
Wondering about this new movie Elysium. Seems like a wonderful analog of the the “Orthodox” Christian view - we’re all up in heaven, while the wretched refuse are condemned to an earthly hell. Is it any wonder that the “Hero” in the story is an earthbound “sinner” trying to overthrow the injustice of this endless and irreconcilable division.
I always say that “The Truth oozes from every pore of the Universe”. So i dont know if the screenwriter is a Christian, or if there was even a purposeful analogy. But i’m looking forward to seeing the movie with my kids and using it as a tool to point out the blasphemy that we, who follow Christ, would happily and willingly live in perfection while anguish, death and endless heartache continued unabated through all eternity…
Peace!
