Elysium, also called Elysian Fields or Elysian Plain, in Greek mythology,
originally the paradise to which heroes on whom the gods conferred
immortality were sent. ... By the time of Hesiod, however, Elysium was
a place for the blessed dead, and, from Pindar on, entrance was gained
by a righteous life.
There is a scene in Neill Blomkamp’s Hollywood movie Elysium where
we see a young boy and girl flip through a picture book that details life
on an orbiting space colony. On a clear day they can see the huge
satellite - which shares its name with the film - from the giant planet-
bound slum they feel trapped in. They dream of living there, breathing
its clean air, wandering its woodland paths and dipping their toes into
crystal clear streams that have long since vanished from Earth.

Elysium, home to thousands of wealthy citizens who have fled the

polluted, crime-ridden planet below, is the ultimate gated community, a
kind of One Hyde Park in the skies. Every day hundreds of Earth-
dwellers board ramshackle spacecraft hoping to break into the vast,
torus-shaped satellite, if only to gain access to the medical technology
that its residents have installed in their homes.
In earth the main economy system is broken and people become poor.
The beauty of the cities is destroyed. The were no proper roads to move.
The main planning of the city became damage. The earth’s people didn’t
get any benefit from the city. There were no proper hospital, schools and
residence. Which is a very important for every city image.
But on the Elysium is well planed city. with proper planning. There were
proper road and transportation system. There were proper hospital,
schools and residence. But those are only for rich people. And thee are
only to be served those fasilityes.
