Production of "Equilibrium" began in the early 2000s with Kurt Wimmer both writing and directing the film. The movie was set in a future society where emotions were suppressed and prohibited, and a special police force known as "Grammaton Clerics" enforced this emotionless state. The film had a modest budget, which influenced its visual style. To create the distinctive and minimalist look of the film, the production team drew inspiration from sources such as classic German expressionist cinema and dystopian literature. Christian Bale was cast as the film's lead, John Preston, a high-ranking Grammaton Cleric who undergoes a transformation as he starts to experience emotions. Bale's performance was a key highlight of the production, showcasing his dedication to the role. The action sequences, featuring a unique martial art known as "Gun Kata," were choreographed and executed with precision, contributing to the film's distinctive style. "Equilibrium" was released in 2002 to mixed critical reviews but gained a cult following over the years for its visually striking dystopian world and action sequences. While it didn't achieve widespread commercial success upon its initial release, it remains notable in the science fiction genre for its exploration of the suppression of human emotions in a totalitarian society.

Christian Bale stars as John Preston, a high-ranking officer in the regime's law enforcement known as the "Grammaton Clerics." Their duty is to eradicate any emotional expression, including art, literature, and even personal relationships. However, when Preston accidentally misses a dose of the emotion-suppressing drug, he begins to experience feelings and questions the system he has devoted his life. He joins a group of rebels seeking to overthrow the regime and restore emotions to humanity. As he becomes a symbol of resistance, Preston faces a moral dilemma: to uphold the regime's oppressive order or embrace his newfound emotions and fight for a more compassionate world. "Equilibrium" is a thrilling exploration of the power of emotions and the human spirit in a repressive society. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema This week, Trevor and Kyle review Kurt Wimmer's, Equilibrium (2002)! A stylish actioner, Equilibrium is a fine dystopian sci-fi film that occasionally punches above it's budgetary weight class in terms of action design and presentation. Perhaps written and pushed into production as a result of the success of The Wachowski's, The Matrix (1999), as well as drawing inspiration from classic genre fiction, like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World, the story of Equilibrium is set against the backdrop of Libria, a near future city that has opted to forcibly suppress the emotional capabilities of its populace. Fascist and totalitarian, everything from the policies, to the wardrobe and architecture of Libria, are very intentionally evocative of Hitler's Nazi party. Starring Christian Bale, and featuring strong supporting performances from capable actors such as Emily Watson, Sean Bean, and Taye Diggs, on paper one would expect Equilibrium to be an actor's film, however in actuality, the film's action design and aesthetics prove to be its most memorable elements. Making use of a fictional martial art referred to as “Gun Kata,” the film features several brief, but dynamic and cleverly staged action sequences that manage to wow, in spite of the more technical aspects of their execution being formulated via clever editing rather than raw athleticism and performance. With sincere performances, and an efficient, if not somewhat plodding script, Equilibrium is not essential viewing for fans of the genre or it's numerous stars, however it maintains minor cult status and remains highly capable scratching any potential itches one might have for the very specific flavor that is “early 2000's action.” A fine and well considered genre film that would likely fail to live up to expectations if one has them going in, but may potentially surprise or impress viewers going in blind.

Would It Fly: Gun-kata? Passengers, please ensure all selt belts and Nines are strapped, because where we're headin, you're going to need both.  On today's episode we discuss Christian Bale's life as a Cleric, in the movie 'Equilibrium' and just how realistic it would be to implement the Cleric's Gun-Kata teachings, into the tactics of military and law enforcement today. Gun Kata, or Gun Fu, is a form of martial arts in which firearms are used as an extension of ones self in order to defeat ones oppenent(s), not only in hand-tohand combat, but in a fire-fight as well.  Well, atleast that's what it has been since Director John Woo introduced us all to it in the film 'A Better Tomorrow' in 1986.  Since then it has become a staple of the 2000s and late 90s action movies, in which firefights are choregraphed like dances. As we've seen, GunKata works great in the movies, but when it comes to real life: Will it Fly?   Co-Pilot: Paddy Bukowski
