Equilibrium depicts a society that was created after the war to be free of all conflict and feelings. Genetic equilibrium is a “theoretical state in which a population is not evolving.” There are no competing influences; everyone had conformed to a catatonic-like state. This film represents how the government is trying to control society into consuming mandatory daily dosages of Prozium, an emotion dampening tranquilizer. Anyone who was found not cooperating with these laws were automatically disclaimed as a “sense offender” and it was treated as a capital crime, punishable by death. There are no external stimuli; the lighting is dark, gray and bland, almost as if there were a dark cloud looming about. The clothing was plain; cars were stripped of any characteristics.

The camera angles for portraying feelings were up close, so that you can “read” their facial expression and gain a sense of what emotion they were trying to convey. There were not too many distractions until there was a raid scene. The colors were bold, bright; there were different textures, sounds and smells. Those were the moments when the viewer could grasp a type of emotion. Preston’s senses were being struck like a match. The new sense was overwhelming for him. He had been trained not to feel, he was a top enforcement officer and a warrior priest. This was not something he had expected, but began to see and feel the affects it began to have.
