Equilibrium and The Realism of Foolishness

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com and Steve's Tumblr.  Find out more at my newsletter.)

I recently got to see Equilibrium (2002), a movie best described as "a dystopian art film with gun-fu." We follow the story of John Preston (Christian Bale), an enforcer in a future of emotion-suppressing drugs and underground smugglers of art. The film got limited marketing in the United States, and more's the pity - it's a beautifully done film made for only $20 million.

On the surface, the premise seems silly - to prevent war, people must take emotion-deadening drugs and avoid sensory experiences like art. Specialized enforcers known as Grammaton Clerics use gun-fu and their calculating minds to hunt down "sense offenders." It's a concept you'd expect on a second-tier episode of The Orville or a Star Trek series, if well done.

As I analyzed this well-done film, something haunted me. I kept analyzing the seemingly half-baked premise of "we must stop emotion and be rational. That's when I realized - I'd seen people express similar views in real life.

Those online enough (such as myself) are painfully aware of people who declare how rational they are. Such self-congratulating would-be rationalists are quick to say how other people are irrational and emotional. These people - almost inevitably white men - obviously think they should be in charge of "the other."

I have no problem imagining these pseudo-rationalists trying to medicate their emotions to unleash their supposed great mental powers. It takes me little effort to imagine some guru or internet personality selling them drugs or supplements to do so. The internet has produced enough would-be gurus claiming to lead people to a paradise of rational thought (again, almost always white men).

Equilibrium seems to be built on a simplistic premise, but many people base their own lives on shallow ideas. That is what haunted me about Equilibrium - the idea people would hate their own emotions and claim to build a rational world is too real.

I take this as a reminder to be careful when judging fictional settings. They may seem too simple - but forget that some people hold very simplistic views. They may seem overly complex, but life can be complicated. The question is neither simplicity nor complexity, sophistication or crudity - but do they help us think and feel.

In the case of Equilibrium, beyond the considerable artistry, it shows a "rationalist" society as a horrible place. The washed-out dark gray of the existence, the emotionally-numbed sadism, were awful. In short, Equilibrium says of its seemingly simplistic world, "yes, this would be awful, yes it would fall apart."

Then I cast my gaze on the internet and see men declaring their rationalism, their freedom of emotion. I see them dead inside or burning in a rage they call "critical thinking," insulting people on the internet. They would try to build a world like Equilibrium while saying it was something else.

Let us be careful judging fiction. We may find it is judging us and judging others more than we realized.

In addition, he has also gone through the most costume changes.Hanks appearance changes almost every episode except Madness Combat 2: Redeemer, Madness Combat 10: Abrogation, and partially in Madness Combat 9.5 Part 1 because it takes place right after Hank died in Madness Combat: 7: Consternation.When Krinkels was asked if Hank would kill Sanford, Deimos and 2BDamned, when he is ordered to, Krinkels replied with: "Hank is very good at his job.".Krinkels also said that he liked Asymmetrical character designs.The inspiration behind his arm was a game called Die By The Sword, in particular, it was based off an enemy design.Hank, after he died in Madness Combat: 7: Consternation, was revived from a machine that made him bigger, stronger, and he now has a large, red arm that can create bolts of lightning.

Hank is the only character in the Madness Combat series that has a full name.The Higher Powers is/are the one(s) to not only resurrect most of the characters but also give them plot armor according to Krinkles.Hank has died 10 times throughout the series, most of which he is resurrected by "The Higher Powers.".He was behind at least 48% of the kills in the Madness series.Hank has 692 kills throughout the entire Madness Combat series.Another fan theory is that the metal plate is the part of Tricky's mask that was cut off during Madness 5.There is a fan theory that states that the metal plate within his head is actually an improbability drive, although this theory has not been confirmed.His metal plate jaw comes from his defeat in Madness Combat 5: Depredation where his head gets pulled off by Tricky, who replaces his lost lower jaw with a metal plate before reviving him.In MashProTato’s title screen Hank’s dance is a reference to the ending to Madness Combat 1 where he celebrates his victory by dancing to DJ Birdie Chicken Dance.Hank was also mentioned in a list of volleyball tryouts in Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis at the area with a corner leading to where the vending machine is located and the entrance towards the underground area where Tricky was at.Hank was a volleyball tryout and really wanted to become one but Krinkels says that the universe "had other plans".Hank is the tallest compared to Sanford and Deimos.Hank was influenced by The Terminator, Blade and the Grammaton Clerics.However, Hank is referred to as "they" in the description of Madness Combat 9.5 Part 1, in addition to he/him.Despite all characters in Madness being shown as male, all characters are actually genderless shown in a Q&A answered by Krinkels.Hank appeared in the game trailer as an upcoming playable character.Hank is one of the few modded characters that has a different-colored microphone.Hank originates from Madness Combat by Krinkels.
