Holy mind games. Perfect timing. "1984" meets 2006 meets "Donnie Darko" meets "All the Presidents Men"...I could go on but shan't. A very very thinly veiled expose of the Lunitics taking over the asylum. "For your protection", mind you. But the people unite...Who are the true terrorists among us? V poses this obvious yet paradoxical questions: If I told you the truth, would you really want to hear it? You think you would, but would you really...? Are you willing to stand up for what you truly believe in? Who is trying to control you, your thoughts, your actions, your fear - and why? What is the ultimate purpose? Thank you Wachowski Bros., for the courage to bring to life this allegory of revolutionary boldness. Only by telling the truth do we have the power to defeat those which manipulate us for selfish purposes.
