This movie is all wrong

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2006)

Great, artistic performance. Stunning visual effects. Excellent, realistic acting. Extremely entertaining and enjoyable show. 9/10 for all the exterior.
But.
I'm just SICK of this movie. Because it makes me believe in its ideas. I believe now that bloody terror can be a legitimate method for expressing your dissatisfaction. I believe that one anonymous individual does have his right to decide for the entire nation. I believe that a procession of uniformed crowds wearing masks may not actually be a Ku Klux Klan parade but a heroic movement of revolutionary patriots. I believe that you can fall in love with a person who has tortured you for the sake of some obscure but sacred goal.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Those of you who adore this movie. Come the goddamn on. The four of my Russian grandparents are laughing at you in their graves. Does it really take only 20 years to dust off your memories?! Why are you so easily buying the old, shabby and faded communist ideas, only because they are put into a new DVD box and a beautiful girl is bringing them to you from the wide screen?
For those of you who don't understand Russian, let me translate just one sentence from the first Soviet rhythm (the Communist Internationale): "All world of violence we shall destroy down to the foundation, and then we shall build our new world." The first part of it ("we shall destroy") is kind of obvious, isn't it, but what about the second part ("we shall build")?! This movie tells you: "We did it. We destroyed. That's it. Happyend". Ha. Ha. Ha. I have been to this movie before. Believe me, it was a real Horror.
Dear Mister V! (I doubt you can hear me though :) You suffered, I know. You desired revenge. You killed everybody you hated. Fair enough. But who gave you the right to explode the Palace of Westminster? It existed long before the 400-year-old story of November the 5th. Regimes come and go, but the Palace of Westminster is an eternal symbol. No human being is eligible to destroy it. Nobody. In 1948 Arabs exploded Hurva, the most important synagogue in Jerusalem, why do you think that it made the world better? Are you one of those people to whom 9/11 returned their hope?
Dear Misters Wachowski! Your movie says: "Come up. Go. Blast it." Will you peacefully sleep at nights if one day a nice (Muslim?) boy inspired by your ideas demolishes Big Ben, in reality, not in cinema? Why do you allow yourself to spread such a straightforward propaganda of terrorism? Aha, freedom of speech That's what you'll tell me... But probably freedom of speech is not what you think it is. Eveybody in the US has freedom of speech, but _you_ have an exclusive freedom _to_be_heard_. I can yell and swear here till tomorrow morning, nobody will give a damn. You should think twice before using your freedom of speech, why don't you do so? Obviously, all you care about is the ten million bucks you'll make out of this pathetic revolution. How sad...
Also, I wanted to ask you, dear Wachowski Brothers: did you ever hear about Nazism? I suppose you did, otherwise why your Chancellor Adam Sutler is so similar to Adolf Hitler. You made this association clear even to degenerates. But why didn't characters in your movie ever hear about Nazism? Because they are stupider than degenerates? Because all of them have short memories? Or because dealing with the past would have messed your clear point? Do you really think that our civilization can afford having Hitler in London? You must be kidding then... It didn't allow Milosevic in Belgrade, nor it allowed Saddam in Baghdad. By the way, where is our civilization in your movie? Does the entire planet contain only London? Where is internet, wireless network, satellite television? We _did_ manage to listen to BBC 25 years ago in Moscow, before the information era began... If you _do_ manage to ignore common sense and let your futuristic society be so unreal, then why are you making such an explicit political statement?
Dear Evey. You were perfect. The only reason to see this movie is in seeing you. Yofyo shel haolam lo yushve imm yofyekh...
