 I'm watching this movie on DVD and it kicks ass! Anyone else seen or wants to talk about it? BTW I didn't see anything anti-American about it at all! It is anti-oppresion which is very dangerous, as we saw in Saddam's Iraq and the Taliban's Afghanistan! |

People convict this movie of being anti-american, but it is really anti-oppression. People only see anti-americanism in it because they are afraid to face the truth that there may be something wrong with our government, I'm not saying it is the worst government ever, but there are seriously wrong things with it that need to be changed! About V, I am saying I see nothing anti-American about this movie, I see that it makes a very strong point about oppression from a government getting out of hand, like we saw in those middle east countries before, and could see if we lose sight and allow ourselves to be ruled by hysteria. |

It is true, you see "slippery slopes" are a political tactic that politicians use concerning things like gay marriage, and this tactic IS legitimate, but that tactic is never applied to government as it should be! People say that there will always be a few things wrong with a government and one should'nt care, but that is a direct contradiction of the very thing the politicians speak out against, the slippery slope "factor"! I don't believe that a goverment can have this problem if the people and the people who represent it are ALWAYS working on solutions to those problems, because at the very least if we focus on the problems then we are eventually going to correct them, admitting the problem, and they can no longer get out of hand! Anyhow, that is why we have to focus on things wrong with govrerment! |

Hm.. good one and to add that, i see many thing that government shouldn't concern but they brought it up then the people forget what the priority problem are, like they trying to let the problem they cannot solve to be burried by other problem. when the people facing new problem they forgot the previous one, that what the goverment intends to do on the first place,and look at the people, they have blinded by the incorrect then they cannot see the truth. people, like wise public figures are not helping because they to blinded by the title they receive from the people and the responsibilities to spoke on behalf people,that's make them to speak and think like the people want, the incorrect one, but the people like us who don't wear a burden of the people voice, can see it clearly trough the "game" the goverment played

I absolutely adore this movie! I bought the DVD last week and enjoyed it all the more. Hugo Weaving did a fantastic joke as the eccentric V. The only bad thing about this film is it's adverse take on the ending of the Count of Monte Cristo. One film has the hero realizing the importance of his love and adhering, while another has the hero exacting vengeance. Either way, it's a winner! Here's my favorite scene from the film: V: Voilà ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. [carves V into wall] V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. [giggles] V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person? V: I'm quite sure they will say so. |

It's not anti-american; more like anti-democracy in general. Although not quite so much like the comic. The comic is out-and-out in favour of anarchy, and V blows up quite a lot more things. And the themes are very much more subtle, or ambiguous if you prefer... V was damn cool. I just wish the fight scenes weren't so bally stupid. Silly Wachowski brothers were trying to turn it into another Matrix, with real red digital paint for blood this time. And I also wish they'd thought to pronounce Evey's name differently from the start: the impact of the ending would have been that much greater. But otherwise -- the movie was utterly brilliant. Echoing Roo's comment again, again and again. That was my absolute favourite piece of the script. If you haven't watched it yet, watch it now!! (insert appropriately v-ish commentary here) |
