this future might not be so far fetched. We already have beta-blockers that can dull anger, happiness, and other emotions. If they make stonger medications that're injected into the neck (the most direct route to the brain), then emotion could be blocked almost entirely. If you ask me though, anger nd jelousy can be whiped out be sheer force of will. Leaving only happiness and peace....
that kid is the only good actor with no emotions. I mean, that means no facial expressions, even Taye does that constantly and he's totally on drugs. Unless they have been given orders to once in a while raise their eyebrows or pout.
@Kazuite6 It's not just the actors; there are hints of emotion in the cleric's dialogue, as well. I don't think the drug completely blocks their emotions; it just numbs emotions to the extent that they can't take precedence over what Tetragrammaton has brainwashed the populace to believe is reason.
How can no one know the novel "1984?" My God, I don't like to read, but even I've read it. It's too much of a cult classic not to know what it is. This also reminds me of "Fahrenheit 451," in the way that they burn books and pretty much everything related to emotion.
Wouldn't fashion be considered a form of art, and therefore obsolete? In a post WWIII world, is it really plausible that everyone's wearing something out of the Armani Spy catalog? I imagine they would have all of us in gray, baggy jumpsuits - something simple that could be mass-produced.
So many plot holes... No emotions means no expression, so the government would not have a name, or symbol, no propaganda would be thrown everywhere since no one would feel pride or duty, and everyone would speak in a monotonous voice in which the EXACT meaning of what they're trying to say would be elaborated, furthur more, PEOPLE would have no names either... But that wouldn't make such a great movie :)
The higher-ups in the government were not on the drug to suppress emotion. But you are correct; many plot-holes, but who gives a fuck? The movie is good.
Jesus fucking christ the kid in this film was raised in an emotionally repressed society. Of course he isn't going to call John father, that would mean that he was acknowleging the emotions of familial bonds. Words have power for a reason
When I read everyone's comment's on the kid I had no idea what your talking about. Then I saw the seen. That kid needs a slap to the face. But that is what happens when you get rid of emotions and become a zombie society. (Sigh)
i think that the main point is that out of all the feelings we have love is the strongest no matter how hard we try to suppress it love will always out shine anything
@zavire0 OMG i was just about to say that on a comment...:) its so much like 1984, except the society in this film is a little more 'organized' I guess.
i always had this question when watching the movie
how are they supposed to hav sex to make kids? i mean, surely they need kids to continue their world. do they have emotionless sex??? im wondering....
The whole "emotionless" is a lie purported by the government of the movie to make people believe they truly feel no emotion. What they are truly doing is not stopping emotions but simply inhibiting them and make them not as noticeable by brainwashing and conditioning the population to an "emotionless" state or rather mentality to be precise the drugs are just aids for this. Don't take my word for it though I'm typing this comment as I'm watching the movie
@atomichead777 Plenty of people have emotionless sex to begin with anyway lol.They need to have sex to keep a steady population or they'd just die out.
Does anybody else notice that the Son is acting to much like a dad? Isn't John suppose to be the dad? The kids are walking all over their parents! if i was John i would take a paddle to my sons ass! R.E.S.P.E.C.T and O.B.A.Y thy parents much?
Did anyone else notice how the room seemed a little brighter around John's wife but everything else was still a shade of gray? Subtle hint there if there ever was one.
@lotsofcooki3s hahahahahaha this is especially funny for me cause i have scoliosis, and wank it so much each day in a comfortable ass bed hahahahaha..
hell to the no. if i would have my son talk to me like that 3:35. i would slap him so fast he wouldn't know what hit him! on top of that acting like he is the man of the house when he is only how old 10...11 years old!?!
@yhmcrbwoii they were probably set up with each other by the government. the nazis did the exact same thing so they can have children with blonde hair and blue eyes.
You really can't interact without emotion.Without it everyone would live by themselves as hermits doing nothing but what is necessary to live and survive,which would take humanity nowhere.Plus all the Sorry's,thank-you's and greetings/farewells in the dialouge seem strange but still a great movie overall.
so what was the father feeling when he realised what his son did? anger? confussion? disappointment? the look on his face said he had some sort of emotion... yet he isn't supposed to have any.
I wonder what emothion he had when he saw those officers holding his wife to arrest! anger? confussion? hmmm???.......
@simnikiwe1 I would want the world like this except the emotionless part. I would like to feel powerful and strong as a cleric. But without emotion it would be like sleepwalking.
"Stop that" - OMG! The demon kid has feelings of irritation, irritation leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. REPORT HIM AT ONCE!
OMG THE LITTLE GIRL ENJOYED MAKING HIM PISSED! REPORT HER TOO!
Mary O'Brien= a HUGE 1984 reference; O'Brien was a member of the thought police, with a wife named Mary, if I'm not mistaken. God I love this movie, it almost rivals the matrix!
