On advice from two good friends of mine, I rented Equilibrium yesterday. Watched it this morning (I got bored with Sat. morning cartoons, so...;D)
WOW.
Set in the future, after WW III and IV. To put an end to war forever, mankind outlaws emotion. A new drug, Prozium II, is developed to biologically eliminate feelings from humans. Take two doses per day, feelings away!
But the cool part is yet to come.
John Preston is a High Cleric of the Grammaton (the governing body of the new world order). He's in charge of keeping the status quo---hunting down "sense offenders," burning the contraband, and eliminating the growing underground resistance.
But how does he do this?
Well, through extensive statistical analysis of gun battles, the military has created a fighting style that increases combat efficiency by at least 120%---and is SO cool to watch.
Preston misses a dose, then hears some Mozart...well, for the rest, you'll have to see it. It's like 1984+The Matrix+Hero+...etc. It's Tight with a capital T.
