I recall this movie releasing and people mentioning it is just a Matrix-ripoff. However, this movie did a lot different; especially the introduction of gun-kata and the extreme discipline required. When Beethoven's music plays, it immediately is louder than anything and really makes you experience the music. It is so well done! It is one of my favorite movies and it was done just right. No sequal or prequal needed. If we're looking for a remake: just look outside and how devoid of color everything has become.
This was a very entertaining and thought provoking movie. You can't really go that wrong with Christian Bale and Sean Bean. That last scene was one of my favorite action scenes of all time.
This movie is really something else. It is like an edgy teenager wrote a screen play the same week he saw the Matrix for the first time and also finished reading 1984. That may sound like I am saying that is a bad thing, but actually I'm not. Equilibrium is a really fun watch with absolutely bizarre, but wildly entertaining stunt choreography that manages to be so derivative of so many different influences that it comes off as unique. The plot and storytelling is so over the top and ham-fisted that it has a "so bad it's good" effect. The film needed to dive head first into these levels of complete ludicrousness because anything less would have made the movie unwatchable. Go watch Equilibrium because it is a ton of fun and let your inner edgy 15 year old ask, "What if we replace god, government, and media with gun-fu?"
@@TheTechAdminIt's strongly implied that Brandt is a sociopath. So while the Prozium helps rein in his impulses, it's obvious that he's okay with that world because he's incapable of empathy and attachment.
2:34 Errol never intended to fire, he knew it was over and simply wanted to ensure that john would have to shoot him so he died there and then while still feeling. Not a case of John being “faster”.
Equilibrium was a great movie! Love the end fight between John and Brandt, you think it's gonna be some epic drawn out battle but he just absolutely demolishes him.
Happy the puppy survived! And not like what happened to another John and his puppy 😌 But that's another movie recap for another day~ Equilibrium was a really great little sci-fi flick, but cause it came out during the Matrix trilogy years so it suffered comparisons and died a quick obscure death soon after release.
Not a Bale fan, but I did like this movie. Mentioned it to a professor when discussing morals, war, and killing/murder. They suppress emotions because of too much war/killing/murder, but then they still kill regardless if you show emotions.....fight scene was fabulous, though!
When I was a child I used to watch it on Studio 23 and the iconic line " I'm coming. " still gives goosebumps and hype for the first time I watched the show
Equilibrium is an absolutely fantastic movie. I remember seeing it while sleeping over at a friend's house way back in highschool and loving every minute of it. Bought the DVD as soon as I could.
There's always one emotion that can never be removed and thats the enigmatic emotion of surprise as shown by the surprised and confused guards at the end when the recordings stopped
This movie is my entire fashion sense - vampire with less flare. Hah, take that mom. It's not a phase. 6 cotton, wool and leather trench coats later and I still dress this way.
I've known about this movie for a long time, but only just realized this If we were suppressed of all emotions, society would collapse. We would still be able to think and act according to our biology, but everything else would disappear. That includes our sense of wanting something. Want is just a lesser form of desire, which is an emotion. If we were incapable of wanting anything, we would only act on our primal base instincts which is, get food, get water and be protected from the elements. We would lose any love/connection with our infants and that would lead to the extinction of the human race. If parents aren't able to feel anything for their children, they will neglect to take care of them. If we feel no emotion, including desire or romance, nobody would procreate and have children in the first place. If there was some governing force that made us do that, it would be from a point of desire to control the situation or a desire to keep the peace, but with no emotion you can have no desire. So basically we're all dead in 60-70 years if we eliminated all emotion
no. The elimination of emotion presented is factored that the leader (head of the entire society) is able to feel emotion. So he can manipulate the desire for his empire to grow and wouldn't be affected by a halt. But the way they did it is wrong. Since they are clearly in a time of greater technological advancements they should've had a base transplant on every human effectively gaining complete control over the population. What they did in the movie is just hive mindset. This indicating that one presents said pill and says = good so rest use pill = obedient emotionless person then people copy and so on
@@Martin_Chua23 Respectful counterpoint. The OP is an observation that may not be directly related to the movie, but it is valid in its own right. Your response however is valid and interesting as it pertains to the movie. Both of you have great insight and I thank you for your post.
As silly as Gunkata may sound, it's actually one of the coolest form of deadly arts I've seen in a while since the OG Matrix and Old school Wuxia Shaolin Movies. Also, Bale is perfect for the role.
This movie was highly underrated when it released. I got confused on why people labeled this a matrix ripoff though. I mean I see it with the outfits and some of the action scenes but the entire concept is just unique and pretty fucking dope. Although I want to compare Bales character to an emotionless John wick at the end of the day so 🤷🏻♂️ maybe the shoe fits
why does Brandt smile? he clearly has emotions. also why did John get married or have kids if they don't have any strong emotions towards each other lol
Biology doesn’t require any emotional attachment to work. “Mommy and daddy loving each other very much” is irrelevant to breeding. People have kids for all kinds of reasons including social pressure, to create more workers, and taxes
@@KaosKrushersmiling is not an emotion it is a facial expression. People associate smiling with emotion, but it’s unnecessary to commit the physical act. Weird how you understand the biology of breeding without emotion but not other physical behavior without it
@@kissit012 yes smiling is a facial expression but it isn't neutral and while you can have emotions and hiding it, a smile is mostly an expression of an emotion or is used to create an emotional response but his smile is clearly an expression of him being pleased with himself
I’m really happy that the majority of people in the world could never be convinced to consume or inject a mysterious substance into their bodies without even questioning it…..oh shit
lol you see the comments about it being what Trump will be like as president. He was already president once and never even came close to this until the Left come out with Covid-19 and he was forced to create mandates
"Brent says he's glad those officers are dead because now the council will-" Brent said he was GLAD of something! He was clearly showing emotion in that scene. Was he actually also a double-agent cleric? What a confused movie.
That’s not 2072 honey, this is happening now. You’re told to be yourself, but if you exhibit anger- a human emotion, you get fired or cancelled. If people aren’t allowed to be mad, then they’re not allowed to be themselves!

This is not stoicism. Stoicism is feeling emotions and choosing which emotion to ignore and which to accept.
@@manumudgal4988they mean the people misinterpreted the concept to a toxic degree. It’s obviously not stoicism, which is a message in the movie

Phenomenal movie now I must re-watch yet again
Just watched this again a few days ago. This should be paired up with the 1960s Fahrenheit 451 as a double feature.
And 1984
Instantly thought "this is like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 in the same universe". Looks great.

Great recap as always❤
The story of Wohn Jick, a man who killed everybody because he receives a puppy
Impressive. Very nice. Now, let's see Paul Allen's emotions.
John starts to feel emotions yet he kills people without remorse how iconic 😅

a movie dripping with so much style that it doesn't even matter how little it all makes sense.

So all the sensitive people will finally be persecuted instead of praised ?
Looking forward to this future

This is where we are heading in the world, this movie is very under rated.
This is just fahrenheit 451
classic Sean Bean doesnt even make it past the beggining of the movie
John becomes the Wick after saving a puppy.
