This is my all-time best movie. I have quite seen quite a lot of other top movies and well known movies but never have i been more inspired and amazed. This is one to remember for your life.
When i first saw this movie back when it was released i was completely blown away it. But a lot of my friends didn't appreciate the movie. They really couldn't connect with the movie well nor could appreciate the effects of name-sake democratic government. It truly highlights what modern government have become. During olden days there were a lot of social problems, people didn't have proper food/shelter/clothes. Back then, politicians used to be determined by that scale, the politician who could better solve that crisis for the people became popular and get elected. As time progressed and the economy developed politicians need some other items to hinge upon for votes. So they added *fear*.
Just like what the movie says we are just keeping our mouth shut to the atrocities committed in the name of security using our fear. It starts with some minimal video surveillance and then slowly becomes complete control for the government. And when you have one wrong person sitting at the top of the government this is what happens. This movie is an excellent into how the future might be, not technologically but socially. Unlike other movies set in future, this one does not try to show you fancy gadgets for the future, it just shows how the future society might be.
When we come to actual movie, its brilliant. Weaving is excellent in his role as V, his voice was brilliant for this character, clear and precise. I was honestly surprised by portman's acting, she did really well as a young scared woman.
I own this DVD, and i have seen it several times. And every time i loved this movie. And i still keep watching it every once in a while.
