Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2006)

A freedom fighter takes down a totalitarian government who uses fear-mongering as a means of coercing people into giving up their civil liberties.
Sound familiar?
The parallels between the bio-terror attack in the film and 9/11 are startling, as are those between the movie's British dictatorship and the ratification of the Patriot Act.
Makes you wonder...did the U.S. government allow 9/11 to happen? Did our elected officials kill 3,000+ people in an effort to gain a better stranglehold on our personal freedoms? Were they getting a little trigger happy with the NSA wiretaps? If so, would people have been less upset about the wiretaps if al Qaeda had unleashed a biological agent in Los Angeles?
Why can't V be here in America right now?
All in all, this film is a daring, beautiful masterpiece.
If you haven't seen it....see it now.
