Great flick. I Like Evey (Natalie Portman) better with hair though. I think the actor who played V is Agent Smith from the Matrices (Matrix) trilogy, which were also written by the Wachowski Brothers. Viva la Revolution!
i tried watching this movie extremely stoned and it blew my mind away. really trippy. i didn't really understand it though. then again, i didn't watch the whole thing.
I hated it the first time I watched it. However, I was also on a train, exhausted and with a headache, traveling and seated next to a very loud, drunk, lesbian who played it for me. However, I watched it again a year later and loved it. Definitely added it to my favorite movie list.
Awesome movie. Immediately after watching it I probably would have said it was really good but nothing out of the ordinary, but it left me thinking. the more i reflect on it though, the more i realize how awesome it is.
A fantastic movie! It is very thought provoking. Scary in ways that Freddy and Jason could never even imagine being able to achieve.
I loved all of it apart from the part where Stephen Fry's character got killed, but that's not really anything against the movie, that's just because I adore Stephen Fry.
I enjoyed the pyrotechnics at the end......but now that you mention the novel that would be an interesting read I think.
They do not make V out to be a hero, or the chancellor to be some great evil. At one point V is talking to a statue -- and the whole story is rather ambiguous. It's so stark, and full of realism -- the movie is a fairy tale in comparison. I do love the visuals in the film, but I'd trade it for the gritty look of the comics anyday, if the true story would've come with it.
Wasn't the government the only thing keeping Britain alive? or something like that anyway i could be wrong.
Um, that's definitely not the way I read into it =P I think it's sort've vague how much Alan Moore was really saying, and how much he was just illustrating the revolution. The way I saw The Leader was, as more of a puppet than anything. Just being the face of the machine, so to speak.
these two movies are completely different in comparisons,it is like comparing an apple to an orange,both films are good and have different aspects of getting the point acrossoliceman:
