https://imdb.com/title/tt0434409/

This movie stars Natalie Portman as Evey and Hugo Weaving as "V".

One of the few movies I have seen in the theatre. I found this movie to be dynamically moving. This movie hits emotional points that are both relevant and frighteningly similar to our current society in America. I found myself emotionally taxed at the end of the movie and near tears, not from joy or sadness but from the shear brilliance of the movie and the parallels one can see in todays society.

Imagine a society in which religion is both restricted and forced. Where your freedoms are restricted for "your benefit" and safety. A world in which the government, through fear of terrorism and disease, has been given control by its people. Its leader, while building a totalitarian government, was elected by the people who felt they couldn't control themselves. If you watch the movie, you find that many things said by the government mirror current statements and trends by our governments.

Produced by the Wachowski Brothers of Matrix fame, "V" brings plenty of heart stopping action and graphics sequences. This movie has something for everyone, but at its heart, shows the future of our planet if we allow it to happen.

Vendetta V

Thanks for the review, Konq. I have been torn about seeing this movie because on the one hand it seems a bit extreme, but on the other hand, it seems quite intriguing. I am a big Natalie Portman fan, so I may end up seeing it regardless.

I believe the movie was definately moving. Hugo Weaving was brilliant and was perfect for the part of V, in contrast to Natalie Portman as Evey, a girl who learns to understand corruption. The movie also left a deep imprint on what I think, and everything.

I wonder though, am I the only one who thought a lot of what V had to say didn't really need to stick to the plot, but rather tell the audience of alternate endings to events that could've happened, and are happening now?

Vendetta V

It was an "okay" movie. I liked V the most. I enjoyed his accent and poetry but as JB pointed out the movie was very predictable, not giving me the emotion I like to feel in a movie of this nature.

V For Vendetta

Wow, I'm stunned by that remark LDS. I had goose bumps and nearly cried (not really) during many parts of the movie. I found that it touch a part of me that truly fears that happening in my country. I was overwhelmed at the end of the movie by the support of the people. For me, this was truly an emotional movie.

V Vendetta

I am pretty emotional person Kon, but this movie did not make me cry at all. For instance, when the girl is kidnapped and send to "prison", I knew from the beginning that it was V who was behind it. It was so obvious, therefore it did not bring me any emotions at all. My own country has a history of dictatorship in the 1970's just like in the movie (I would say worst than that) and it affects me personally because my own mother is one of the 30,000 people missing in Argentina. I am not going offtopic, I just wanted to mention that to say why I did not feel as touched as other people have been with the movie. It did not portray not even 1% of what people went and go through in regimes like that. But yet again, it is Hollywood!

Well, I feel silly, I didn't know it was V at all. Man, I guess I'm not very perceptive when it comes to movies. See, you took the suspense right out of it for yourself!

I just bought the two disc DVD special edition at the store. I think that the making and planning of the movie is really something else. They did allot of work on the sets because nearly all of it was in studio and not in London where they wanted to do most of it. The extra's are worth getting.
