Sean Bean's acting is always so on point !!!I never seen a bad performance from him ever . of course Christian Bale has nothing to prove , he's the king of method acting . overall this movie has many solid actors .

When I saw this for the first time, I wondered how Hollywood made such based anti censorship film. I believe it snuck through, then was buried by lack of advertising.

This was supposed to come out after 9/11. It got pushed back a year and a micro release. I managed to see it in theater and still missed the first 20 odd minutes due to a messed up schedule.

It also came out right around the same time as Matrix Reloaded, so it got buried under the popularity of that movie, and was seen as a knockoff.

4:50 Christian Bale would whisper: _"I'm not Batman - I'm bad, man."_

Ironically the director bet Bale 500 that he'd play Batman in the next several years or. This was well before BB was even a thought.

One of my favorites from that period and it definitely holds up for me over the course of time unlike the Matrix. I've watched it quite a few times more, where Matrix mostly was forgotten about. Probably because of the sequels to Matrix absolutely ruined the first film for me. I think the story is closer to Fahrenheit 451 than 1984. You should react to the Hunger Games film series to continue your dystopian journey.

Definite Fahrenheit 451 vibes from start to finish. This is definitely a movie that will get rewatched over the years!

@@PizernBReact Ironically, Director Kurt Wimmer claimed he`d never read "Fahrenheit 451" nor seen any of the film adaptations made at that time(Obviously the Netflix adaptation hadn`t been made yet as Netflix as a platform did not yet exist in 2002),however he was motivated to make the film by similar concerns to Bradbury:Censorship of media and government institutions suppressing humanity in the name of national security extremism which in the post-9/11 US manifested itself in the Patriot Act,wiretapping and discrimination against Muslim-Americans,African-Americans,Asian-American,Jewish-American,Romani-American and Mexican-American immigrants.

Glad to see you enjoyed it. :) Though, respectfully, I disagree with the lower score on the overall film assessment. I think purely as a film, it is much better than you are giving it credit for. It is stacked with interesting layers of meaning and symbolism, and never ceases to be engaging. I think you let the fact that it is very much based on other classic dystopian stories cloud your judgement there. In the pantheon of films, I'd say this one really ranks up there - this is top-tier cinema. But this is just one random internet stranger's opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Point of that final fight is to show how held back Preston was when he took his "medicine". But even stronger with emotion.

Every reactor I've seen falls into some version of believing that Procium dulls your physical senses. I disagree, otherwise that would affect significant skill sets and capabilities across Libria, not the least of which would be a Cleric's ability to perform the Gun Katas. I believe that situations like running your hand on the guardrail make sense from an emotional perspective. First, if you've never known emotion, how do you know how you will feel about anything, even something that simple? That's why the offender's rooms have some many random items. It's all summed up in Dupont's question "How did you feel about that?" You could ask that about literally anything, any experience. We all have emotional responses to the most mundane things, they're just minute. To some one who has never felt any emotion, every literal thing probably feels like a high.

Actually, one of the main reasons this film flew under the radar was because the tagline was "Forget the Matrix" which made a lot of `90s kids so butthurt they didn`t see it out of protest.
