Equilibrium

It is impossible to create of story of a dystopian future without a insane ammount of ripped off material.

I honestly think if you timetravel to a random writer who is born in 1883 who has never seen movie, and ask him to write a story about a dystopian future we will see a lot of Clockwork Orange,1984,Brasil,Equilibrium,THX 1138 and no doubt many more dystopian movies/books.

It is a very boring theme because of the manditory-like (and now secondhand) elements.There is no way around it i think.

Well the majority of people seem to feel Equilibrium is far from original. The above poster is right, there are many films in this vein. If we are to give any book or film credit for starting the trend of this kind of subject matter it would likely be Orwell's '1984', which was first released as a book in the late 1940's. Giving Equilibrium credit for coming up with these kinds of ideas is giving that film far too much credit.

Came to the forum to see if it was just me. Yeah, I thought so, too.
