A lot of emotion for a world with no emotion
There were many examples of anger, fear, amusement, worry, etc...They all should have acted like Data from Star Trek TNG.
shareIt's comical the amount of retards like the thread starter come to this forum to say the same stupid and false *beep*
The movie never claimed the society had no emotion. The movie claimed the society was taking a drug called "Prozium" to eradicate the extremes of emotion. It never said that emotion itself was forbidden. It said the drug was to be taken to keep emotion in check, at an "Equilibrium" so-to-speak.
Why don't you watch the movie before coming and asking stupid *beep* questions like this.
And as for characters showing extreme emotion like Father, that's obviously because he wasn't on the dose, as he said at the end of the film. Along with other government elite members like Brandt.
Why ask such a foolish question when the movie CLEARLY states the concept without having to ask the board?
Fear is not an emotion either, you try and attack a spider and he runs off, that is "FEAR," you really think that tiny simplistic organism has emotions? FOH.
I'll add on. The only characters in the film to show emotion were those who were NOT taking the drug.
Preston, Preston's wife and children. Father, Brandt and Father's trench-coat henchmen, Partridge, the school teacher etc.
A bright light can hollow the deepest of nothingness.
Hey everybody I think we have found a fan boy here. Fan boy alert!! Fan boy alert!! It really seems like the entire time you were writing this, your blood pressure must have been off the charts and your heart beat was at least 150 BPM.
Just to be clear, every single character shows many different emotions throughout the entire film, whether they were on the drug or not. You just have to know what to look for. Like I said before, to convey the message they were trying to get across, the director should have had them all act like Data from Star Trek TNG. It would have been a much better movie.
He's not a fanboy, and his arguments show it. You're simply too dumb to understand. I think this movie is too difficult for you. You're better off with cartoons, kiddo!
I shall be known from now on as the Black Vegetableshare
I think you need a little Prozium. One of the biggest overreactions I've seen in a while.
shareNo need for insults.
If they wish to simply have equilibrium in their emotions then why are the arts and literature banned? Even paintings is supposed to evoke extreme emotions? Even Vulcans who eradicate themselves of feeling and embrace logic still appreciate the arts like music, paintings, literature, etc. If they all took the drug, what harm could these art pieces have?
Every book and painting works against the brain wash of father (not only emotionally but also rationally) and against the emotional stabilizer too. These objects are important for the underground movement. Burning them is just part of fighting them.

You sure display a lot of emotion.
First of all, what is fear, if not an emotion? It's ego-based unnatural, but powerful vibration attached to people for multiple reasons - some of which are pragmatic here on the physical plane, but others are karmic and cultivative (spiritually speaking).
Fear is very much an emotion.
Also, why would an 'organism's physical size dictate what they can or cannot feel? You're not making any sense. Also, why shouldn't it have basic instincts, like all animals?
Also also, why compare humans to a spider anyway? If a spider can't 'fear', then you assume that dogs can't feel fear, either? That's just so false, I would shake my head if I considered stupidity of this magnitude to be worthy of the energy I'd have to spend to do it.
Nothing bright about your 'light' here..
