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.
