Our First Time Watching Equilibrium - Reaction!

[@sauce1302]

Such an underrated and fun movie with original great concepts! More people need to react to it

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Agreed! I had a blast watching this movie and I really love it now.

[@OriginalPuro]

Such an iconic movie, more people should discover it. Glad you liked it.

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Yeah, it was fantastic! Thanks for watching the reaction.

[@SupremeCommanderBaiser]

Its one of my favorite movies.

[@Duke00x]

Technically they still feel shallow surface level perfunctory emotions like mild amusement, light frustration, slight sadness. But nothing truly deep or overwhelming nothing that can't be easily ignored and dispelled and forgotten with a thought. The drugs only suppresses them to a bare minimum. Like feeling emotions through feet of cotton balls.

[@diegoargibay2287]

Equilibrium is from 2002 and i discoverd it in 2007 in a tv channel (''Space''). It was great!! i think it's among the best, if not the best from Christian Bale, i also would add ''3: 10 to Yuma'' and the Batman movies. Greetings from Argentina

[@deathdealer11b33]

I love the "Irony" of the actor who leads this sort of society is also the "Storyteller" of "Jim Henson Story Teller"!

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Fun Fact:The Grammaton Clerics labeling banned artwork,music,books etc. that might make people feel again EC-10 was Director Kurt Wimmer`s none-too-subtle dig at the MPAA.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Matthew Harbour, the young Canadian actor playing Christian Bale`s son in this film, did "The Velveteen Rabbit" two years earlier so he went from a super-emotional performance to an initially emotionless,robotic performance.

[@deathdealer11b33]

The scene where he is pistol whipping the soldiers you say "Its dumb", but simple soldiers are taught that there weapon is their life! They are reacting as they have been taught. If you notice during that scene he keeps hitting thier weapons down while hitting them across the shoulders, necks and heads and they keep shooting the ground. He is against simply trained soldiers whose reaction is to hold on to thier weapon. It is a boon and a flaw of soldiers.

[@ScarriorIII]

He also is avoiding shooting so the trace doesn't pick up that he shot them.

[@deathdealer11b33]

If you look at the first scene he has around 10-15 rounds per shot per pistol. No need to reload when your shooting at 20-30 targets, and if your facing 8-10 your just making sure with extra shots that no one can stand up to attack you from behind.

[@sgvanicidex8509]

Equilibrium ! Instant Sub Absolutely love it keep it up

[@libertarianvoter]

One of those reactors that feels the need to say every single thing that flits through their minds.

[@SleepySeel]

Yep. And his wife or gf looks like she wants to concentrate on the movie. She needs some noise cancelling headphones and this guy needs to realise the better reaction channels do not give a running monologue.

[@tom091178]

0:44 The word you are looking for is dystopian.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Also Prozium, the drug they use to suppress emotions, is a mix of Soma from "Brave New World" and the 'injections' from "The Giver". The name is a portmanteau of the actual prescription drugs prozac and opium.

[@Justin.Franks]

They originally wanted to call the drug Librium, but that is the brand name for an actual anti-anxiety prescription drug.

[@noni5961]

Shhhhhh and let the movie play. She’s trying to listen 😂😂😂

[@jesuismila9673]

When I first watched this film, this twist with the kids is literally one of the most unexpected turns!!! Especially when the son made us believe what a little asshole he is 😹

[@slaaneshhedonite7068]

I know I’m in the minority- but that is superior to Matrix. And I’m sure someone explained the meaning the title.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

This was also Dominic Purcell`s first US film:He was the resistance leader hiding classical paintings from the Librian Government and Clerics at the start.

[@ChildofNature-hx8ev]

If you don`t know who Dominic Purcell is, he`s an English-born Australian actor known for doing one of the most convincing fake American accents on screen. He`s best- known for the Sci-Fi series "John Doe" as the titular character,"Prison Break","Blade Trinity","The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow" .

[@RolomirFenrir]

If you ever have the time I'd highly recommend watching Star Wars SC 38 re-imagined or the Tie Fighter short film.

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Thanks for your suggestion! I will look into it.

[@DoxGR7934]

Awesome that you guessed what would happen to Bean soon as you saw him.

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Well, he is the man who dies in everything after all, lol.

[@LongandWeirdName]

Do you even listen to what you're watching? Took you way too long to get the basic premise. They said it like 10 times before you got it. 7:16 A long and productive one.

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Sure I do. I'm also taking this all in as it's the first time watching. Not always easy to retain every single point of detail on the first watch. No need to be rude about it, I'm just enjoying and making fun content for you guys.

[@ttanza4004]

If it is okay, I would like to make a Movie Reaction Video request (I have actually made this same exact request to a lot of other Movie Reactors here on KZbin and some of them have indeed granted it and done it). If you haven't already seen it yet then is there any chance you can do a Reaction Video to the Movie "John Carpenter's THE THING" ? If Yes then it is an R-rated Science Fiction Horror Movie that came out back in 1982 and it stars Kurt Russell.

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Hello! Thanks for your suggestion. I've already seen the movie unfortunately, but thank you for saying so. Is there any other movie you'd like to see a reaction to?

[@ttanza4004]

@@thatreactionguy1058 How about Each of the 4 "SCREAM" Movies if you haven't already seen any of them yet ? I think that they are Pretty Good Slasher Movies (to me at least).

[@thatreactionguy1058]

@@ttanza4004 I had seen all of them already, haha. The next movie I'm doing is Hacksaw Ridge.

[@Tiatom221]

Great reaction 👍

[@h.c4898]

Fun fact: it came out around the same time as the Matrix reloaded (part 2) so it went under the radar beside of it. Bad timing one would say.

[@Nytephyre]

Great video. Loved your reactions. Might I suggest "Multiplicity" with Michael Keaton? Thanks guys and best wishes!

[@thatreactionguy1058]

Hey, thank you and glad you like the content! I've never seen that movie, so let me look into it! I get so many requests but I hope I can do that one for you. :)

Back to School Rodney Dangerfield. New Subscription + like.

[@SupremeCommanderBaiser]

Until 5 minutes in he constantly says: I dont know why they do this or what this is... Just pay attention to the movie. Just a suggestion.

[@Halo3Matalix]

how much $ was your mail order?

[@ToaivaTTeevale]

You need to get a head phone plug to two jacks. She looks uncomfortable having to lean in to share an earphone. It’ll be annoying having to do that for 90 minutes. Unhygienic too. Anyway, Equilibrium is one of my favourites.

[@perrymanso6841]

Fascism? NO, fascism is mainly nationalistic, and nationalism is a feeling so It would also be repelled in this movie society. The regime in this movie is actually more similar to socialism/communism.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Communism is a stateless,classless,moneyless society. Socialism is either the stage between the imaginary "Dictatorship of the proletariat" and full-on communism(In the Marxist versions)or a synonym for communism itself(Pretty much every other version save Social Democracy which is basically "Capitalism with a human face").Nationalism is basically a cover for xenophobia,corporatism,cult of personality around a charismatic(Usually white Anglo-Saxon Protestant cishet male) leader seen as the voice of God within The State and absolute State control in fascism.

[@perrymanso6841]

@@AspieMediaBobby You have no fucking clue at all. There's nothing more pro-state than Socialism, precisely Capitalism is mainly liberal which totally wants the state reduced at It's minimum or even destroyed. So, I don't know wtf are you talking about, well, reading your "cis-white-christian-male phobia", I can easily guess why. YOU the socialist ARE the system, NOT the revolution, remember my words.

Exactly. This is 100% an old school Communists ideal world.

Communism, not Fascism. Fascism would inspire too much emotion
