Great movie for this day and age. Very funny. Great twist with the characters and showing the bureaucracy from big money down to the stoner. Public servants who save the people and barely care.
So many metaphors in this film. I watched it a few times.

Political satire, metaphor, and funny too.

Enjoyable, but there is an important and poetic message here also. The bureaucracy and delegation of "whose job is whose," the jumbling of stereotypes, the overarching metaphor of the elevator as the earth (often chaotic, messy, and sometimes humorous), the fact that we all bleed red, and we're all here together. All of these things go into a humanistic message. It is films like these that will ultimately spread messages that we need right now in this chaotic political arena.
