Mind blowing masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2012)

V for Vendetta is a dark and ominous warning to anyone with any sense of history who is paying attention to what is happening in the world today; history does have a way of repeating itself. With a great debt to George Orwell's 1984, the Wachowski brothers have spun an absolute masterpiece.
Britain is used as the country with complete media control, warning the public about protesters who are portrayed as enemies of the state.
"V" is a masked rebel who travels throughout the land making great proclamations along the way. Hugo Weaving is the undercover hero and he is mesmerizing. He recruits Evey(Natalie Portman's best work, forget "Black Swan"). Together, they use destructive tactics to awaken the public to the danger of the present fascist government. The great John Hurt is the nations leader and his face is on a big screen with his deep, important sounding baritone, alerting his citizens of the dangers of protest. The message here is important, and it is told in a way which is solidly entertaining. This is one of the best films ever made, a 10 out of 10.
