Just caught 'Equilibrium' just now on Ch 5. Strange that Ch5
didn't seem to advertise it. I caught it by accident. What a
brilliant show I must say! The story kinda reflect how our govt
works and the rigid rules and regulations of our schools. I love
the action to bits! It features the unique 'gun-kata' martial art -
a way of fighting with dual pistols. What's more, it stars
Christian Bale, my favourite actor!
Here's a brief intro into the movie:
Enter the world of Equilibrium where there is no war, emotions
are suppressed, and artistic expression forbidden. The guardians of
order are an elite fighting force of Grammaton Clerics who
specialize in the martial arts system and code of the Gun Kata.
There is nothing they cannot do to enforce the ideals of their
society but what would happen if a first class cleric suddenly
began to feel?
Director's Comments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The topics of totalitarian worlds are nothing more than paradigms
that people like Ray Bradbury and I use to tell a parable. We move
aside our reality and create a simple paradigm to tell a simple
story.
Having said all that, it wasn't my real reason for telling this
story. For me, the most important thing is that movies are about
emotions, and not about politics. The most important element of
this film is that it is the story about a man who awakens to the
sensory world around him for the first time.
