Truly a postmodern masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

After seeing this film Thursday night, I have had a few days to really think about it. Overall, it is easily one of the best films I have ever seen. The character of V is one of the best portrayed characters I have seen in a while in a film. Through his very loose body language and Shakespearean language, he is acted out perfectly by Hugo Weaving. V was a bit frightening at times as well. Though he was masked the entire film, it was still easy to see his emotions and really feel what he was feeling. You know you have a great character when this happens. The character of Evey was portrayed perfectly by Natalie Portman. I was a bit skeptical of her being in this at first, but she quickly made me over come that and stunned me on screen with one of her best performances. The cinematography was perfect, the script was perfect, the acting was as close to perfect as it could have gotten, and overall, the film was perfect.
