"Belief is hard to kill" as theme

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

I had no previous knowledge about any background on this movie going into the theater. I was confused at first by the masked character, V, unclear as to his purpose. I liked the action scenes in the movie, Wachowski brothers combined great story telling with captivating action scenes. The movie takes a bold stab at issues like terrorism and corruption in government during the times of turmoil right now with Bush's war against terrorism. V's character is an ideal that does not oscillate to exterior forces, he holds steadfast to the Utopian ways. What if V's ideal were not so noble, what if his ideals leads to another fascist dictatorship. Besides all those unanswered question, this story is one of passion for humanity, love for honest ideals and passion in revolution without mercy. I loved this movie.
