Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

[@Grahf0]

11 out of 10. I love this movie. This is the reason Christian Bale was a fan favourite to become Batman. Also, I am pretty sure the guy being thrown up against the wall and shot in the beginning is the director.

[@loneflash3845]

Infinite!!

[@ignaciomolina8601]

10 for action 6 for story

[@Hiddenman15]

The moment of the guy shaking his head is so underrated. He literally is telling a guy to let him die knowing that he'll be much more valuable with his identity intact than to save the small group of them. The fact that there is a head nod of "don't make this not worth it" to Preston right afterwards, his moment of horror and introspection as they die, the fact the other cleric is actually a coward and orders others to do his killing, UGH. I don't care what critics say, this movie was phenomenal

[@kal-el8402]

Indeed good scene. But you know what Preston can kill all of them since he is the best Cleric in the universe. But sense offender guy don't wanted to risk it. Preston already saved their life (atleast at first) if Preston wasn't there they were already dead. Sense offender just wanted to accept the faith.

[@aaaaaaaaooooooo]

I loved that part about this scene. Although Preston's betrayal should be impossible to hide after beating up those guards.

[@ovandocarter6377]

It is over rated but the other cleric is not a coward. He is just drugged up and so does not care emotionally. He is just doing his job as instructed.

[@Hiddenman15]

@@ovandocarter6377 disagree, he gave the Gun to Preston with the idea that Preston would execute him. Preston gives it back saying "the honor should be yours" Our dude then sits there staring at Preston as they die instead of doing it himself Boy was always a coward

Terrible cinematography tho, 3/10. Matrix is 10/10

[@cgtdvhjnggjgffcjjiihgrdfvhh]

Фильм определённо недооценили!

[@Majestiicc12]

That head nod when I first saw this, that really got me. The bravery that guy had to have to stand there knowing what was going to happen, knowing also that the Cleric very likely could have killed everyone in the room and saved them, that little battle, really got me. He knew he was more valuable with his identity intact, as someone else already said. Powerful moment in the movie completely underrated movie, especially in today’s world.

[@ComradeSeyb77]

"He's a sense offender!" 😆

[@SoNyXDNB]

It's kinda sad that we have so many in our society.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

The law enforcement seemed pretty emotional to me all throughout this movie lol.

[@lysandersensale2792]

​@@MrBottlecapBill It's the same problem with zombie films or whatever. It's like they interpret "emotionless" to mean "wooden acting".

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

@@lysandersensale2792 Tbh, its quite difficult to even imagine what would a living creature without any emotions even look/act like other than machine/robot!? One might argue that, there are some people that are emotionless, say psychopaths but, on this particular case you are dealing with someone uncapable of having remorse or compassion. They still have emotions like anger, rage, envy and so on! Equilibrium was dealing with people drugged up on some chemical that removed all emotions... perhaps they should have behaved more like a zombie horde? Better question would be, why do they even care at this point without any emotions?!

[@NiteOwl471]

"Get him....he's a SENSE offender!" 😂🤣

[@dbell1016]

I always thought that this movie got more out of its SFX budget than the Matriix got out of theirs. Gun-kata was a wonderful idea, and Christian Bale was the perfect choice as lead. I had more fun in the theater with this movie than any other movie that year. It was sadly underrated.

[@seanwilson531]

could he not blow his cover right then?

[@rjohnson2813]

Gun kata wasn't original. The entire story takes place in the world of the Paladium pen and paper game system.

[@micglou]

A lot can be said about this movie... it's awesome. But comparing it to The Matrix it didn't come close to looking as good as The Matrix and the SFX used in it... that's probably why it flopped at the box office, people expected more after The Matrix.

[@-Markus-]

@@micglou I like this movie but even trying to compare it to The Matrix is just silly XD

[@_hedwyn]

​@@rjohnson2813hey, what did you mean by this? I can't find any reference to this film being based on an RPG, and searching Paladium just gets me results for an older high fantasy TTRPG

[@never_andy]

The gun switch and the non verbal communications between John and the sense offender before the firing line is so subtle the first watch through. But now I see it. The sense offender didn't want to lose John from their cause and helped him decide on the gun switch. A noble sacrifice.

[@udirt]

I suppose he had guessed or seen that there was no ammo in the gun. But yeah, knowing your chances are gone and making the best of it aren't equally easy things 😮

[@aneffortlesssmile]

@@udirt I feel at some point he realized the weight difference. With his experience, I’m sure he’d be able to notice. At least after emotions calmed.

[@AC-iz7eh]

Also if I remember correctly in this scene Bale swapped his weapon with Taye Diggs to later frame him for doing something

[@cdtv3602]

he takes HIS gun with his RIGHT hand 3:39 and gives HIS gun with the LEFT hand 4:29

[@16thChemical]

Oh, it was the foreshadow! Didn't notice it.

[@0nlyFuzz]

yep - which later implicated the black cleric for the murders of the guards

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

"Don't do it. He'll shoot us in the back." "If I wanted to shoot you, I'd shoot you in the face." Why can't people understand that more in movies lol

Yup it was kinda on them for not listening and getting killed 😅

I’ve always loved this movie. I’ve always looked at it like they took the perspective of the agents who is awaken. Prior to this I was in the fence about them announcing Bale being Batman… this movie sold me on it.

We would have so many more sequels for this if it wasn't for a small little film title "Matrix" came out at the same time. Very underrated movie. It's a cult classic though

True, but it stands alone fine on its own. Hell, one could even say that the ending is perfect.

why in the name of fuck would you want to update this? it's not like this is stone age stuff. there is nothing in this movie that could benefit from a modern remake, nothing. why the fuck does everybody needs remakes these days? if people like you would have a little bit of hunger for exciting new stuff, we woulnd't even have the need for these pointless remakes anyway. you're basically tell them "yeah, be lazy and just reuse what you got and polish it up a bit, it will be good enough for my stupid ass to enjoy"

Black guy sure shows a lot of emotion...

[@gileee]

True. I noticed that when I watched the movie too. I took it as the drug they use not working the same for everyone, because they're not completely without emotions. Their emotions are just subdued to some amount. That's why Christian Bale's character is the best of the best, he basically didn't feel a thing. And that's why Bale was the perfect casting choice.

[@GUARDIAN.13]

It's because he wasn't on it, anyone that was close to the leader or leading class didn't use it.
