Equilibrium through destruction?
The Equalizer (2014)
Suddenly, somebody, I knew blurted out, "Hey, Equalizer 2 will out soon!"Not really remembering anything about the first Equalizer, I inquired, "Was it any good?" to which he babbled something to the effect of as if I had committed a cardinal sin. So I made it a point to view the film myself and I am not impressed.
I remember Appa used to be hooked to a TV series with the same name where a team of do-gooders went around helping desperate. I never went around watching it as I had many other pressing deadlines in my life then. Appa had a cult following for it but I would not say he was a die-hard fan. Halfway through the episode, he would be in Slumberland especially after his long hours spent in the bank working with other peoples' hard-earned money. So much for being an ardent fan!
The TV seriesThis 2014 movie based on the TV series defies logic. Many of the executed plans are too far-fetched and bends reality so much that it appears almost like a sphere. Like many of films that glorify the 'Don't mess with Pop' genre, it is a feel-good movie that gives men who over their prime a boost of self-confidence. Whether it would translate it anything concrete, that is a different question.
The story tells of a lone-wolf fighting against the whole might of the mean Russian mafia. An unassuming man who works as a supervisor in a DIY Home Improvement store has all the know-how and contacts to track down and hunts down every single baddie who made life a living hell for the people he knew in the neighbourhood. Like Robin Hood, he distributes the loot from the thugs.
At a philosophical level, the take-home message seems to be working at very high intellectual level (just a thought, though). To right a wrong, immense energy is required. Out of anarchy, comes order. To maintain peace, one needs destruction. For peace to be in place, might is necessary. For Vishnu is take charge, the Destroyer's job of Shiva is essential. The order is maintained through chaos.
I know I am going to give the sequel a miss.
