Discussion Equilibrium

Has anyone seen this movie? Pretty much it is illegal to have feelings, and anyone that has feelings is executed.

Wow you really spoiler hard here. I have seen the movie, but only remember it was some kind matrix style and it is on netflix. I'll watch it later

This information is stated in the very beginning of the movie no spoiler :)

Yeah, I liked that movie. I really wish I could have a pill that eliminates emotions.

It's an old movie though to be fair to the OP. Anyway I've seen this movie and I think it is great. And I think emotions are responsible for a lot of pain and suffering. But they also make life worth living at the same time... So I don't see a right solution to this problem in this movie. Maybe force people to be less emotional but not devoid of all emotions. That would be ideal. Because one extreme or another is never a good thing.

Love the film. As in many roles he plays, Sean Bean dies/exits early on . Ronin, GoT, ...

Similar films with dystopian themes include 1984, Brave New World, THX 1138, Logan's Run, The Island...

The island is great I agree I haven't seen the rest though.

I would strongly recommend 1984, both the film and the book. I haven't seen Brave New World. THX 1138 is one of those films you either love or hate. Logan's Run is an old movie, but it does star Jenny Aggutar (I sort of had a crush on her when I was young).

The Lobster is a more recent film that's also great. I would also recommend Brazil.
