Equilibrium
2009-May-26, Tuesday 09:56 pm(caution: movie plot points coming!)
Earlier tonight I was getting desperate to go someplace different. I didn't go outside to the garden because today my mere presence in the back yard was enough to set off the burglar alarm on my neighbor's car that was yards/meters away. *sigh* I couldn't find a movie that interested me, so I visited Rotten Tomatoes to find what is recommended these days. Instead, I found a recent article about the top 10 movies with Christian Bale. They left out not only the one movie that most people remember him for ("American Psycho"), but more importantly they left out the one special movie that I will always remember him for... "Equilibrium".
( See the pictures and read the dialog... )It gets a little confusing whether the lesson of the movie is to maintain control over emotions or to unleash them and change the world. It's a point of inquiry that I recognize. I am, after all...
