Equilibrium	comment	Equilibrium is a 2002 Science Fiction action film directed by Kurt Wimmer and inspired by many previous works of dystopian fiction (particularly Nineteen Eighty-Four, We, The Giver, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and The Matrix). Also the film that defined the trope of Gun Kata.After a Third World War devastates the Earth, the totalitarian state left in its wake (Libria) comes to consider human emotion as the root cause of all conflict. Libria subsequently bans all emotionally stimulating material (e.g. art, books and music); any "sense offenders" caught by the police end up sentenced to death by incineration. The government also requires citizens to take daily injections of an emotion-suppressing drug in order to prevent "sense offense".The governing body of Libria — the Tetragrammaton Council — uses the police to maintain conformity; the high-ranking Grammaton Clerics, trained in the martial art of Gun Kata, frequently carry out raids where they destroy both "sense offenders" and any offending materials found with them. A pre-Batman Christian Bale plays the role of John Preston, a highly-regarded Cleric who accidentally fails to take a dose of his emotion-suppressing drugs and ends up feeling emotions — which attracts the attention of the other Clerics and the Council's leader, the all-powerful "Father".This film has a character sheet.

Equilibrium / int_127fc252	type	Creator Cameo
Equilibrium / int_127fc252	comment	Creator Cameo: Director Kurt Wimmer plays one of the Gun Kata practitioners in the beginning of the movie. He also acted as Christian Bale's hand double for some close-up shotsnote Wimmer noted that it was simply faster and cheaper for him to achieve the exact shots he needed, rather than trying to explain what he was looking for to Bale and shooting multiple takes until they got it right.

Equilibrium / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: Interestingly, this trope is played straight (much like in Ultraviolet (2006) after it) with Sweepers and other Tetragrammaton mooks, with plumes of smoke coming out of them instead of blood — as if they literally were just faceless puppets of the evil regime, not human beings. However, it is averted with Resistance fighters who do bleed. Special mention goes to a man who tries to grapple Preston and gets shot by Brandt — Preston's gun and gloves are subsequently covered with his blood.

He then tells Preston the master plan, and as soon as his villainous monologue ends, Preston pulls out some firearms and fights his way to the boss's room. In a deleted scene, it would've shown earlier that the metal detectors are at the next door Preston walks through after taking the lie detector, which raises the question of why they put the anti-gun security measure there instead of before the room they planned to spring their trap in. In addition to just shooting Preston after they captured the Resistance, they also could have shot him up with more Prozium to remove his emotions again.

However, Resistance members are mostly (but not exclusively) seen using old-school Soviet firearms like AK-47 rifle variants or Scorpion machine pistols — therefore, "bad" guns. "Advanced" is a keyword for another category of typical "bad" gun trait.

Equilibrium / int_36e63b81	type	Rule of Cool
Equilibrium / int_36e63b81	comment	Rule of Cool: Most of the gunfights follow this. The very idea of Gun Kata is that, through analysis of thousands of gunfights, it has been determined that the positioning of enemies can be abstracted down to statistical probabilities. Thus, Clerics employ martial arts poses to fire at where their enemies are most likely to be without needing to aim, while simultaneously positioning themselves to make themselves a smaller target. It does not take much thought to recognize that this principle would really not actually work. Further, many of Preston's usages of Gun Kata, while looking very stylized and flashy, would not be very practical. Through the film, Conservation of Ninjutsu and Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy are in effect to ensure that, no matter how many enemies Preston faces, they will either never fire at him or will be terrible shots. This is particularly pronounced in the final action sequence, where dozens of guards don't even have their weapons in-hand when Preston arrives (even though the Big Bad knew he was coming), and they either don't shoot at Preston or can't hit him even though he's in full unobstructed view in a brightly lit hallway. Also, in that final action sequence, Preston throws a pair of weighted ammo clips down the hall, and they somehow land in the exact right position for him to drop down and reload his guns when he needs them. Not to mention Preston has room up his sleeves both for his guns and auto-reloading mechanisms holding extra clips that slot perfectly into his guns when he tilts them the right way.

Constantly, even when faced with death. When Preston becomes suspicious and finds him in the church, he doesn't look up, doesn't bat an eyelid, totally aware that Preston is armed. He even goes so far as to read from one of Yeats' famous poems, 'The Cloths Of Heaven'. He looks up, questioning everything the system stands for, hoping to get Preston to at least understand what's going on before he dies. We find out later from Mary that he was her lover and he secretly fought for the Resistance. The way he says the line below describes how resilient he is because he doesn't do anything to prevent his own oncoming death despite knowing what was coming for him. He's going to die fighting for a cause and he wants it to stay that way. If it means dying for your beliefs, he's in no denial.

In an early scene, he jumps into a crossfire and stands calmly in one place (then again, with emotions held under check, he can't quite panic or anything) while the opposition fires away with automatic weaponry and fails to hit him. The film attempts to explain this by inventing a fighting style known as Gun Kata, which teaches its practitioners to seek out locations in a fight where there is minimum probability of getting shot at (and it's not just "behind cover"). In a later fight, Preston reloads by a mechanism that inserts fresh magazines into the guns from his sleeves.

John's daughter playing with her cereal near the beginning of the film foreshadows that she is no longer on Prozium, as does his son getting annoyed with her hint that he isn't on it either. DuPont is teaching the Gun Kata class early on because he himself is a master practitioner. Also he refers to the traitor as being "one of us, the Cleric". Jurgen is seen early on at a public broadcast about the dangers of sense offending, letting you know that he actually takes Prozium to maintain his cover. Aside from his perpetual, barely-contained bad mood, DuPont is seen angrily slapping a table during a conversation with Preston, suggesting that he's not on Prozium.

It's clear that his reputation is based on A) his combat skills and B) his contraband-sniffing skills, rather than his ability to actually find the people he's supposed to be hunting. Though it could also be that he is better at spotting sense offending in strangers.
