Matt Damon's Science Fiction Socialism

And remember, Damon's a socialist, but only with other people's kids. When push comes to shove, his children go to private schools, the freakin' hypocrite.

At London's Daily Mail, "'Sci-fi socialism': New Matt Damon movie predicts future where the one per cent lives on luxury space colony and earth is just overcrowded slums.... but star insists it's NOT political."



Also at Big Hollywood, "Variety: 'Elysium' Pushes 'Openly Socialist Political Agenda'."

And Kenneth Turan says "meh," at LAT, "Review: Despite Matt Damon, 'Elysium' disappoints: Matt Damon can't save the politically conscious, pedestrian 'Elysium.' Neill Blomkamp ('District 9') directs."
