Elysium (2013) - full transcript
In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt, a government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
Come on!
Don't keep the Sisters waiting.
This is Frey.
She's new here as well.
Can you read?
It's a giraffe. They were from Africa.
- You can read?
- Yes.
Max, have you been stealing things again?
It breaks my heart. Why do you do this?
So you can save up?
One day buy a ticket up to that place?
That place is not for you, or for me.
But it's not fair, Sister.
Why can't I go there?
Sometimes in life we don't understand...
...why things are the way they are.
But I know one thing.
I know you are special.
You will do something
very important one day.
Something you were born for.
My little Max.
Off to work, huh?
Gotta get up early to work that line.
Make the world a better place.
I can finally buy my ticket to Elysium.
Leave me alone!
Burn her ID!
Yes, I understand...
My, how you've grown!
Are the children here?
Yes, with Dominica.
I have a present for you.
Go and get it with your mother.
It's next to the couch.
Only one made it.
Hey. You're holding up the line.
They started the fight, Sister.
I just want to live there.
You see how beautiful it looks to us
from here?
Yes.
Well...
Now look how beautiful we look from there.
Keep it.
This is yours now.
To never forget about where you come from.
You have work to do, Mr. Carlyle.
He's awake!
I'm shitting my pants.
Everyone has one special thing, Max.
One thing that they are destined to do.
One thing they were born for.
Hey, chiquita.
Hey.
You see how beautiful it looks to us
from here?
Now look how beautiful we look from there.
