半夜睡不著覺，

也沒到"屋頂"去把心情哼成歌

因為窗外噪音太過嚴重

只好看看半夜三點有啥電影可看。

正好，【重裝任務】剛剛開始。

這部電影，因為海報看來就像是駭客任務(Matrix)的翻版

(尤其是長風衣)

於是一直提不起興趣去看，

直到某日讀著【V怪客(V for Vandetta)】的心得文，發現有人提起重裝任務，甚至，提到片中引用W.B.Yeats的詩

引發我的興趣

然而，對於電影，我總是電視台播映時看的目不轉睛，

卻懶得去借回來看，或是獨自去電影院 (宅女習性上身中)觀賞

於是過了這些年，【重裝任務】仍然只待在我的Waiting List中

幸好，昨晚有這部電影，讓我完全忘記窗外的噪音。

觀後感-----或許，現在的我寧願當的sense censor，當個Grammaton Cleric，服下類似百憂解的控制藥物

沒有感覺，就不會快樂。但也不會不快樂。

不過，對於劇中的Father(真理之父)，我總是懷疑他的邏輯------

沒有感覺，不能感覺，就能避免戰爭嗎?

那麼，Libria(共和國)與sense offender (感覺犯)之間的，難道就不是戰爭? 難道就不是屠殺?

自由，

多少罪惡假汝之名以行!

這部片，會讓我先聯想起的，並非駭客任務

而是剛才提到的V怪客，以及Orwell的1984

其他還有小說Brave New World

電影Fahrenheit 451 (楚浮的電影)

Dark City 等

我的三分鐘熱度，讓我在IMDB的討論區流連忘返。

以下是其中一些對於電影情節的解釋，

摘錄作為以後心血來潮時的參考:

My interpretation of the scene was that, at that point of the movie, Preston had become a master at controlling his own emotions. So he has a strong emotional response when he discovers the real level of the web of betrayal that engulfed him - but at that point he ***chooses*** to turn to the most basic of emotions: none at all - and he becomes a robotic, unspeakabily perfect, unstoppable killing machine.

I like also the alternate "explanation": that, at that very moment, he is telling the truth ("Not without incidents" ---> carnage on colossal scale ensues). However, just before that moment, Preston was not exactly lying: he was shocked by the revelation of what was really going on, and by the sudden understanding that he had, unwillingly, condemned and betrayed the Resistance. When all of this sinks in, his rage reaches the breaking point: a flat line.

Anyway, no matter how your interpretation of the scene is, it is a great, GREAT scene.

The ending totally ruined this movie for me

Right. Someone already pointed out rather well about waiting until the right moment to take out everyone so i wont go into that. There are three points I would like to make towards the ending.

1) Preston is the best Gun Cleric on the planet.

2) Preston was driven by anger. When was the last time he had felt any emotion? when you dont have something for a while, the effects are stronger and more potent. Like... I dunno, an orgasm or if you hadnt eaten for a few days, any food would be delicous and would satisfy your hunger. Anger is usually a turning point or a driving force for a character in any action movie and it provides a way for them to do feats they wouldnt normally consider doing. It gives him the willpower to do it and the strength to. Point 1) and 2) make him a very potent force.

3) Yes, he probably could have taken out Father without wiping so many people out but here is why he did it.

IRONY

The drugs were created to supress emotion because things like ANGER caused world war III in the first place. So for his best Gun Cleric to turn against the system and use his anger to destroy the very thing designed to prevent violence and emotion. Its plain ol' irony and i think its a fantastic way to end a movie. The whole movie was practically building up to that awesome moment.

It was an inner conflict that bales character was fighting with the whole movie. Not all conflicts and fighting have to be tangible. This was all in his head and his emotions, trying to figure out and deal with these new feelings of emotions which he was not used to. The action sequences are completely secondary in this film, which is why i think the matrix is a terrrible way to compare this movie and is more of a contrast. I also see underlying meanings of how goverments try and prohibit society from speaking out and standing up for their rights, and how they basically make us on assembly line to obey all orders and laws. altogether, like i said the action sequences are secondary, this movie is more of a drama that delves into character study.
