![]() | The names of many things start with "V." In fact, one of my FAVORITE things starts with a "V." After watching "V for Vendetta," I felt just like my favorite thing after a wild drunken Saturday night. How is that, you say? Well, my friends, after watching "V" I felt royally f*cked and violated. This movie is not just bad, it is worse. I am changing the English language to allow the statement "this is a worse movie," for "V" is and will be worse than any movie anyone anywhere might make in the future. But enough of the name calling -- let's get to the film (without revealing too many plot details). In future England (approximately 2015?), the Government controls the news media, the Koran is outlawed, and homosexuals are wantonly murdered for their sexuality. Terrorists are freedom fighters, military personnel are murderers, and mention is made of the Iraq and Afghani conflicts, as well as new ones in Syria. |
| In one classic moment of propaganda, a homosexual character shows Natalie Portman his hidden chamber of anti-Government paraphernalia, and we see an anti-war poster. It is the English flag with a swastika in the middle and the words "coalition of the willing" written upon it! Now, where have I seen that phrase before? In the end, this film is the typical liberal propaganda piece, in which victimhood is taken to new heights. In the world we live in now, the media tries to control our Government (Dan Rather and Ted Turner anyone?), gays and lesbians try to control our culture (Brokeback Transamerica Capote anyone?) and Muslim terrorists blow up subway stations while the Koran is protected with armed guards. How the current world morphed into one in which the Koran, gays and lesbians are outlawed and the Government controlls the media is beyond me. Let me tell you all a more interesting and frightening story. In the real future England, taxes are high, Muslims are gaining control, the media is subversive and in control of the Government, Gays and Lesbians are still powerful but wary of the Islamic movement, and the rest of the people are depressed. I give "V for Victims" four people's cubes for propaganda value. |

Der Kommissar Betty,Quote:
Who might it appeal to? “Matrix” lovers, certainly. And the movie’s sullen, chain-clanking atmosphere connects with punk, Goth, grunge, and all the doomy tones of white teen rock for the past three decades. For aging kids stoned on pop rapture, it could be a trip. And for people driven mad by the ineptitude and folly of the Bush Administration this film may seem like a brazen romp. Only the West could have made a movie in which blowing up civic temples is a “provocative” media statement.Quote:
This is pure post-9/11 Orwell, a great, angry screed against scapegoating and fearmongering in the seemingly endless war on terrorism.Quote:
Admittedly, some of the allusions skewer more toward the Nazi regime than the Republican Party (though many will persuasively argue that they're one and the same).Quote:
A divided domestic electorate will take [it] either as a kick-***, future-punk primal scream of political frustration or as an irresponsible, literally and figuratively incendiary attack on our...approval-deficient leaders.Quote:
May be the ballsiest, angriest picture of the current administration.Quote:

In the end V for Vendetta is as cold and unsympathetic as the regime it criticizes.Mr.huh?

You are right that the main character in the movie is a terroist. Keep in mind though, this movie was based upon a graphic novel that was written in the 1930's.Quote:
V for Vendetta was originally published between 1982 and 1985, in black and white, in Warrior, a British anthology comic. The strip was one of the most popular in the title and featured on several covers during the 26 issues of Warrior.Quote:
Lincoln himself spent his whole political career pursuing subsidies for railroad companies and was heavily infuenced by Leo Strauss, whom himself was hardly a classical liberal.Chairman Meow-Say-Pun
Leo Strauss was born in 1899 in Germany, Lincoln (And I assume you are talking about Abraham Lincoln) died in 1865. Now how in the world was Lincoln influenced by Strauss?Quote:
