Did Equilibrium make you feel emotions?

Is it possible for a movie to be 100% committed, technically well-shot, and yet completely ridiculous? (Watch the Video on Youtube : https://youtu.be/qXfW4Wf-lUk [https://youtu.be/qXfW4Wf-lUk]) In this episode of The Judgemental Minds Society, we look back at Equilibrium. Released just a few years too late to beat the Matrix wave, it has since become a cult favorite for its uncompromising (and sometimes hilarious) dedication to its own logic. We discuss the legendary Gun Kata fight choreography, the strange dystopian ban on pillows, and Christian Bale’s ability to play a man pretending to have no emotions—the literal inverse of Patrick Bateman. Whether you love it for the action or laugh at the "slap-fight" finale, there's no denying that Kurt Wimmer made exactly the movie he wanted to make. What’s your favorite Gun Kata moment?
