I talked to my dad the day before Father's day for about an hour and wished it to him then. My only child forgot to wish me a Happy Father's day til his mother reminded him the day after. Yay.

2025-07-02 01:16:29 +0000 UTCI described this flick to a friend thusly: "Imagine, if you will: A knife fight... with pistols."

2025-07-01 16:44:03 +0000 UTCDoes this mean you won't be seconding my request for Wanted (2008)? :-)

2025-06-30 20:47:20 +0000 UTCyou can definitely say that Equilibrium is partly inspired by Fahrenheit 451βalong with other classic dystopias like 1984 and Brave New World. Typical Parallels to Fahrenheit 451: β’ Ban on art, books, and music: In both works, these are seen as dangerous because they encourage emotions and independent thought. β’ Repressive society: Both societies try to suppress individuality and humanity itself. β’ Protagonist as an enforcer who rebels: Both Guy Montag (F451) and John Preston (Equilibrium) start as agents of the system, but gradually begin to question and resist it. The Difference: While Fahrenheit 451 is centered around the reading of books, Equilibrium focuses on the suppression of all emotions through a drug, with a total ban on art, literature, and feelings. Conclusion: You could say: βEquilibrium is inspired by Fahrenheit 451 and borrows many of its themes, but reinterprets them and combines them with ideas from other dystopian stories.β

2025-06-30 15:58:16 +0000 UTCThis is such a fun flick, not a great cinematic masterpiece, the story is silly but man is it stylish and fun.

2025-06-30 13:29:27 +0000 UTCNow, next up for a Christian Bale from that early era, you should put Reign of Fire (2002) in a genre poll. Flawed, but really unique, and has a really fun over the top performance from a famous actor that you would never see coming. Definitely has a fanbase -- you might be surprised how well it would do in a poll.

2025-06-30 08:57:35 +0000 UTCThis movie was interesting for me and my friends because we watched this movie a year before we were assigned βBrave New Worldβ in school. VERY similar story.

2025-06-29 20:04:19 +0000 UTCThis is the part where we HAVE to insist George and Simone watch George Lucas' pre-Star Wars filmography. THX-1138 is flawed, but based on the same literature as Equilibrium. But y'all should first watch the student film on which it was based: Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB. It's close to a perfect short film, if its narrative style is alittle opaque, and it is public domain because it was a student film.

2025-06-29 20:02:52 +0000 UTCObligatory standard "insight": Equilibrium = 1984 + The Matrix. 36:30 -> 38:13 :-) 36:32-36:41 Oh noes! You've not included the homage to Phoebe Cates! [Obscure joke.] 36:55 "Gun Kata" 37:48 "He precise. He so careful, he piss on a plate and never splash."

2025-06-29 17:41:53 +0000 UTCPremise of this movie is INCREDIBLY stupid, but give it some really good actors and action scenes, and surprisingly, somehow, it works.
