Break, or keep closed

Recommending this movie is not to say that the movie is perfect.
Now, the protagonist’s skill is too good and lacks convincing; the "rebel" dress is too casual and unreasonable; in such a high-tech dictator society, there are no surveillance cameras in many places, which is illogical; the character of a cautious dictator There are only guards at the core of the ruling but no other protective organs. It is illogical... What
touches me is the meaning inside.
There are so many metaphors in the film, such as gray, blue, and black clothes, such as burnt-down novels and paintings, such as absolute obedience to the leader and respected as "FATHER", such as the easy reporting and massacre between people... …As a person in the 70s, I smiled knowingly at the screen.

If it wasn't for accidentally breaking an injection, he, Preston would not have the opportunity to feel the beauty of "FEEL".
Before that, he could face the deaths of his wife and friends indifferently. After feeling the wonder of "experience", Preston was addicted to the world of the senses like a drug addict, and never returned to the original world. What's more, he overthrew the old rule and released human society into a state of perhaps more chaos but more freedom.
In fact, Preston can feel so many things with one less injection of an emotional inhibitor, which shows that he is a highly sensitive person with a particularly outstanding ability to perceive.
Many people cannot feel the splendor and magnificence of the world in ordinary details or subtle moments even without injecting the injection that suppresses emotions. They have long been walking dead. The so-called enjoying life is just repeating their single life and single preference according to their habits. There is no goal, no ideal, no pursuit.
"Freedom, like the air on a mountain, is not something everyone can enjoy." Sukekawa Ryunosuke said this. Freedom is like the air on the plateau. It is not good for an unhealthy body. Only a strong soul is qualified to pursue true freedom-that includes mental maturity, personality independence, self-discovery and affirmation, and cultivation of personal value And grow stronger.
Some people do not have the ability to be free, so reminding him that he is in servitude will do nothing but increase his pain.
Even, they have already voluntarily given up freedom, why should we remind him?

    The degree of boring and nonsense of this film is that just making the master's handsome shots into a dynamic album is also just as interesting~~ The most terrible thing is that if the master is really sweeping so much, then this movie is at least half shorter~ ~~Tsk! I love your naked upper body more than your well-dressed face ← this is the biggest attraction! 【roll!

    The powerful world view, although there are some loopholes in the setting, it is not concealed. It is 10,000 times better than the Matrix of the year, and this film is really closely related to Chinese politics. Not only is the system similar, but also... and see the screenshot of my Weibo for details: http ://weibo.com/1815112223/xCNHqbRgJ

Equilibrium quotes

  • Mary: Let me ask you something.

    [Grabs his hand]

    Mary: Why are you alive?

    John Preston: [Breaks free] I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.

    Mary: It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point?

    John Preston: What's the point of your existence?

    Mary: To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.

  • Partridge: You always knew.

    [begins to read from Yeats]

    Partridge: "But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." I assume you dream, Preston.
