Equilibrium

That's what ecstasy did.

Equilibrium.

Christian Bale is making sure everybody takes their daily

pill.

kind of liked equilibrium, but

I like equal.

No, no, no. Equilibrium is a good movie, but it, it, it, there's all these movies, you know, like I said, I said, underworld, um, the ring, the horror movie, the ring came out or the, the American version of the ring came out, um, in 2002, I believe.

Um, like there's, there's a very similar through line in all of these movies of style over substance,

um,

Sure.

I just want to say, Equilibrium, for those of you that have not watched it, is a Christian Bale, Taye Diggs movie.

It's incredible.

The more times I watch it, Tom, the more times I'm kind of like, I think they may have gotten it, and Christian Bale kind of ruined it, because everyone seemed pretty calm all drugged up, and I got it.

...

when Christian Bale katanas that guy's face off in Equilibrium.

In Face Off.

In, [laughs] in Face Off.

100%.

I w- I will say if you like Matrix, if you haven't seen Equilibrium, you need to watch that though.

Equilibrium?

Equilibrium.

Yeah.

Hmm.

And so through this squirrel is kind of like... learning what life is.

You know, a movie came out 25 years ago called Equilibrium, stars the legendary Christian Bale.

It was actually the movie I saw Christian Bale in.

I saw it right after he'd been cast as Batman.

Okay, cool.

You've sold me on this movie.

But Equilibrium is like the action version of this premise of sorts.

But, you know, also tying into, you know, Brave New World and that type of sci-fi that sort of thing but it's like the slow quirky version of it not overt comedy not big laughs but quirky amusing but whatever depth was there like what like it's got some rave reviews coming out of some other festivals my brain just wasn't able to like lock in enough to be able to like really evaluate it properly.

This is what's in Brave New World.

This is what's in, go watch the movie Equilibrium.

Everybody's taking that drug to suppress who they are and what they are.

Humans, I mean, this is the point of Kubrick's, right, the program that Alex goes through in Clockwork Orange is to suppress and get rid of all of his individuality and desires.

Canons.

The second movie I watched last night is called Equilibrium.

It's with Christian Bale, Sean Bean's in it, Taye Diggs.

and a couple other people.

And in, in all of the sci-fi, uh, film and literature, that's the type of societies they live in.

I'm thinking of now Christian, it was a Christian Bale, uh, Equilibrium, the film.

I haven't seen it for so long.

Or TH-
