remember remember the 5th of November

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2006)

"V for Vendetta" had a great initial material in the form of a great Alan Moore's comic book. To my mind, the flick didn't waste it and, what's more, retained a climate of a comic but not exactly its letter. Wachowscy did a great job transforming a comic book into a movie. Most of the decisions they made seems appropriate to me. The acting also is sensational. The film provides wise entertainment and is emotionally powerful thanks to Natalie Portman. Furthermore, the movie somehow relates to the contemporary political situation and, what is the most important, persuades into thinking. In particular, two scenes are amazing. First one is the TV show a la Benny Hill and the second one is the final scene in which a motif of everyman is used. Highly recommended.
