V as "vivicious victory"

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2006)

"V" for Vandetta was simply "V" for "Victory" as a Hollywood release. It was a fresh and sophisticated terror against tyranny and totalitarianism, and it came as even more surprise under the Bush government, however, it became clear that why this movie is so successful and popular in time of Bush.
All the metaphors in the movies are working as paradoxes at the same time as its metaphors. The mask of hero and disfigured face underneath is our pressed state of mind, never can be expressed under the current map of politics, however, our rage can be expressed under the mask as it is breaking the rules of our identity, which can be easily targeted and traced by government anytime. As a stamp on your forehead, as same as barcode on your ID card, you will never get out of control under the multiple digit numbers. You are no more important than those digit numbers given and you are no longer free of anything against the law set by government, when you rebel or revolt, you are becoming an enemy instantly. At the end of the movie, we see people are wearing masks to hide their own identities when they join the riot and they could remove the masks as it lost meanings when they achieved their freedom again.
They targeted 'homosexual' people as a target of the government, which means that minor groups - who decide to be live as own identity in the society became unnecessary tumors for system and it need to be omitted for sustaining it.
It has so many glorious moments as entertainment goes as it is based on graphic novel, so you should expect few exaggerated graphical elements in the movie, however, it is modern cinematic opera as its peak. Not so brilliant but intelligent enough to set a new standard in Hollywood movie, and it is possible to fill seats as its big budget movie's mega scale. However, the hero dies in the film, so you are not going to expect it will be those meaningless sequels, unless Natalie Portman becomes Riefley in Aliens movie, I don't see that coming personally.
When Big Ben was blowing up on the screen, you could almost burst into tears as it provide climax at utmost. This is a must see movie and you don't have to feel guilty by walking into the megaplex by chasing Hollywood release, you will be satisfied as much you walked into bureaucratic art house movie.
Another stunning thing about movie is that Natalie Portman deliver almost near perfect British accent and it becomes so frantic surprise when you perhaps knows she's French and she was a little girl in the French film called "Leon". "Not sure it's English title, something was very stupid as some kind of cocky and dumb translation as 'Killer' but don't count on me as I don't care, really.
As I am reading 'Trial' by Kafka at the moment, it came as 'coincidence' as its surprise. It's so contradiction as in the movie, the "V' state that he's not believed in coincidence. However, this movie will lift you up as much as terror to your brain if your brain is not so flathead as much as scumbag.
I found it so irony that they are showing the preview of 'scary movie 4' before the movie that I found so hilarious to imagine the promoter apply same demographics in the same category with this movie. I found it so refreshing and certainly we're living in the neutron age, you can't never be sure what you are clash into. Just need to hit then you'll see where you are just break into.
Well, I might as tired as a victim of flathead people who bashes me everyday with their butthead perception, but it was so much pleasure to see there are people out there still can really know what people need to be educated. This movie it was certainly one of them, will blow your brain out, you folks.
