For my film review, I’ve chosen to write about the 2002 film
Equilibrium. I’ve always been a fan of dystopian stories (1984, Brave New
World, Fahrenheit 451, etc) and this is one of my favorite films. The film
utilizes a number of unusual techniques in its fight scenes. In particular, the
use of lighting during the gun fight scenes is particularly unusual. I feel
that this adds a certain charm to the style of fighting for this somewhat
futuristic scenario. Additionally, I think I will go over the use of the
anti-emotion drug throughout the film. It’s a central plot point and is
persistent through the entire film. Another major theme would be the
destruction of art and music. The main job of the main characters is to destroy
these parts of society and they become an important theme in the later parts of
the film.
I have seen this movie before I love it It kinda reminds me of the matrix just a little. The fights scenes are so incredible the techniques are like wow. Yes i do agree that the lighting during the gun fight scenes are unusual but it does add some type spark to the film itself plus the dude is Hot.
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale and Taye Diggs are both pretty dreamy in this movie. :D It definitely does remind me of the Matrix movies, too. It came out in 2002 and the first Matrix film came out in 1999, so I imagine that they were pretty influenced by the Matrix when they wrote this screenplay.
