Lost in the battlefield of opposite extremes
I ponder the embankment that stands in between
The monochrome and color entirety
I see the beauty and chaos of fate and destiny
Stand in the balance
Of forest equilibrium
Absorb every aspect
Of forest equilibrium
The fatality of optimism shall we not embrace
But evolve into the actual with grace
Outweigh the balance through excessive choice
I return to the wisdom of this equilateral place
Rebuild thy strength
Here in forest equilibrium
Through irreligious choice
In forest equilibrium
Come walk with me
Through violet smokescreens
Where both feet tread upon joys and agonies
Calm in all we see
Masters of destiny

Equilibrium is a 2002 action and science fiction film written and directed by Kurt Wimmer. Christian Bale has the lead role in the film and is supported by Taye Diggs, Angus Macfadyen, Sean Pertwee, Emily Watson, David Hemmings, and Sean Bean.

Although it was received well by test audiences, the film was given only a limited release and little promotion and was generally poorly received by critics. After the time of its release, however, the film has been more widley accepted by critics. Now it is considered to be a cult classic.

The film was originally released as Cubic in Scandinavian countries and as Rebellion in Japan.

Overview:

Following an apocalyptic Third World War, the strict government of the city-state Libria has eliminated war by suppressing all human emotion. In the monochromatic and sedated society, artifacts from the old world (works of art and music that may evoke some emotion) are destroyed and the population is required to take emotion sedatives. Grammaton Cleric Preston (Bale), a man trained to locate and arrest those guilty of feeling emotions, finds himself abandoning the drug and experiencing outlawed feelings. As he struggles to conceal his feelings from his superiors, colleagues, and family, Preston finds himself drawn into a sinister world of double-crossings and lies, and becomes an unwitting pawn in a sophisticated plot which ultimately changes the repressed society forever.

Although the script is original, major influence from speculative books such as Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", George Orwell's "1984" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" is evident throughout the movie. The conditioning and drugging of the population to suppress feelings is similar to "Brave New World". The authoritarian and consistent monitoring of the population hearkens back to "1984" and the mandated destruction of books and art is reminiscent of "Fahrenheit 451".

When interviewed about the movie, Christian Bale said one of the reasons he signed up for this part was because it was strongly based on one of his favorite books, "Brave New World".
