Very f451, 1984 and THX-1138

Mr Kitty

You should react to the Dune movies. And also the Foundation tv series. Both have astounding depth and world building. And each are by legends of science fiction.

John Dodo

You should also throw DREDD on your movie reaction list. I would be interested in your thoughts on the cinematography used for this film and your thoughts of the society in the film and the government structure.

Lenear Boyd

I like the way you think sir

This movie was always interesting. Essentially from a production company perspective it's a cheap knock off of the success of the Matrix. Ironically in this regard is where it's the worst. The effects, fighting, etc all is inferior by far. Though what's great about this movie is the people behind it wanted it to be it's own thing, it's own story and message completely outside of being a Matrix knockoff and those areas are where it shines, that combined with excellent actors. The matrix knockoff action (and martial training scenes) definitely didn't age well, but the story and world building did.

People get scared, we panic, and we stop thinking clearly. We long to feel safe again, no matter the cost. We welcome a savior that can deliver us from confusion, from privation, and from fear. The more comfortable we become, the more freedom we are willing to sacrifice to regain that comfort when it's lost. To me, Equilibrium is about finding the balance between freedom afforded to us by nature and the safety afforded to us by vested authority. To be safe, how much are we willing to lose? Our autonomy? Privacy? Individuality? Natural rights? Our feelings? Our humanity itself. Thanks, Mr. L. Boyd, I love this movie.

Stephen ODaniel

One of my favorite movies! Such a hidden gem. Great reaction, thank you!

Lenear Boyd

What a question, interesting. I like it. It depends, indecisiveness can result in cowardice and vice versa. But I wouldn't deem it the only quality necessary to be a coward.

Poor Sean Bean

D Montano

How are you gonna watch the entire movie and not notice Sean Bean being deleted yet again? Side note, watch V for Vendetta if you haven't bro.

Lol Taye Diggs got what you wanted littlefinger to get in the end 🤣

Great film.

Andrew Clifton

Great reaction bro. This one takes me back. The actor who played his first partner was Sean Bean aka Ned Stark from Game of Thrones. He is notorious for dying in most of the movies he's in. Every time I describe this movie to people to get them to remember it I'm like, "You know, the one with the gunjitsu" lol. I agree with your sentiment about there coming a certain point where life isn't worth living anymore and you have to take any means necessary to over throw the power structure. Better dead than living this way. Excellent movie though.
