A Treat to Wtach

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2008)

A master piece from Wachowski Brothers. I am really at the dearth of words to explain how delighted and excited am feeling right now just after completing this movie. Actually i started watching it last night but as the turn of events would have it, before completed even half of it, i had to rush to the office (for the night shift of course). But, by that time, i was so hooked to it that all night i kept thinking about it. And after coming back home today morning, despite feeling tired and worn out due to lack of sleep, i couldn't resist myself from the temptation of completing the movie.
Man...wot a wonderful work! Its truly a piece of extreme imagination and artistry. The most exquisite portrait of a blend of human evil and good. And the most amazing part is that after completing this wonderful journey of a little more than 2 hours although u would remember the characters...the thing that will cling onto your conscious is the IDEA. An IDEA that how an IDEA can bring a revolution, an unstoppable tide of change that can bring down the ages long monarchy and embark the whole society on to the path of new direction...
So wonderfully carved out is the Character 'V' that it just leaves you speechless. He is no hero yet He is. He is no Evil yet He is. At first, what acts of him appear as that full of utter hatred and vengeance slowly start taking the shape of Chivalrous Plans of defiance against a system based on the Greed of power and dominance over people ripping them of the very basic trait of human society...FREEDOM.
And here comes our hero and starts off his job of freeing the people in a most unpredictable manner. And what should i say to define the minutely carved details of his personae... I am finding it hard to put together words. The ever clung Mask of 'V' of course adores him with a veil of mystery and an awe generally reserved for Horrifying characters but there is much more to it than that. I think its giving the impression that whatever 'V' is doing, he is enjoying it and once...the people knows the truth and understands his idea..they see a hope in his smile. All the more, it clearly hides away all the pain, agony and torture he himself has gone through to become what he is. Although, i was curious through the start, by the end of the movie i wasn't bothered to know who actually was behind that Mask. The character 'V' had outgrown everything.
The dialogs give the killer punch. If each good line in the movie is bestowed to be gem, it will be a hell of a necklace. Listening to the words as they are spoken, you are completely lost in the track of time and find yourselves in times of the movie. To mark my words, you need to listen to the first self introduction of 'V' to Natalie portman. It completely succeeds in pulling you out of you.
No less remarkable is the direction and screenplay... Especially the Climax. Its amazing. Simply amazing. Now there is a movie which has moved me in many a time.
Hats off to Wachowski Brothers for pulling off a really brilliant piece of art.
I think i have said way too much...maybe because i am overawed by the magnificence of this Celluloid Miracle.
The least i should have and would like to say is that IT IS THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED.
