"V"


I watched V for Vendetta for the second time last night with my flatmate. It was even better the second time because I could pay more attention to words that V spoke quickly and intelligently. I would really recommend this if you're in the mood for a more thought provoking movie although the storyline and action is good enough in itself.

This politically loaded thriller protests the place of a totalitarian government in an extreme way and uses the british government as an actor as it searches through the reasons behind this 'terrorism'. V encourages all citizens to stand against the tyranny and oppression of the government and the controversy begins in his questionable methods of punishing the government. Although I wouldnt agree with all of V's methods I like his clever characteristics and his passion for 'justice'. This has got to be one of my best movies of the year, watch it if you haven't already.

"People should not be afraid of their Governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Power to the people!
