Now, about a week ago, I saw a documentary about old action/sci-fi movies, and one called "farenheit 451" was discussed.
It seems to share the basic idea of equilibrium, and I had to wonder if maybe the earlier film had inspired it...would anyone that has seen both films agree to this?
So, farenheit 451, is it worth watching? Looks pretty good...

Equilibrium is influenced by Farenheight 451, Brave New World, and 1984. Add to the mix some excellent action and interesting characters - and there you go.
The movie Farenheight 451 is a bleak view of the future (it doesnt look futuristic at all - just the concepts) but it's an interesting film by François Truffaut (one of my favorite filmmakers)
Its being remade as well ... big suprise.
I recommend you read the book by Ray Bradbury ..
I would say though, that yes - Farenheight 451 was the heaviest inspiration for Equilibrium..
