| Synopsis: A shadowy freedom fighter known only as "V" uses guerrilla tactics to fight against his terrorist, totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally. | |
| Review: I like the spirit of the movie. It is not necessarily a call for chaos nor for anarchism but it is deeply revolutionary. In this sense and also in the way the suspense increases along the movie, it reminds me Fight Club. The story brings Natalie Portman in many corners and feelings that she manage to act really good and full of emotions. Some of the quotes may inspire indeed people like Assange or Snoden by suggesting that everyone can and shall make a movement to change the world. Also the movement Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Frankfurt, etc. The multiple faces of the masked V build an interesting character. Nevertheless the mask blocks a bit the relationship viewer/V. But its crazyness to play classical music during his events is really nice. | |
Rating: 8 /10

I had read the graphic novel by Alan Moore before watching this cinema adaptation and I liked the movie, which is quite rare. The best elements in the movie are the ones coming from the book, but the adaptation is quite true to the original material.
ReplyDelete"Remember remember the 5th of November", Hugo Weaving has the perfect voice for V. The totalitarian state reminds of course of 1984, and also of Children of Men and Brazil. Is it the fact that England is an Island that makes such regime so believable for this country? Or is it the Monarchy? Probably both.
I will probably watch this movie again soon. I would rate it 7/10.
