Out-F*&king-Standing

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

Awe-inspiring, and brilliantly written, V for Vendetta should be shown in every school, every workplace and every house in the United States. It represents the very best of what film-making can be - a truly transformative experience that breaks the barrier separating fiction from real life. Much of the disgraceful behavior of the Bush Administration is acted out by a fictional British totalitarian regime. A regime that rules by fear and intimidation; that utilizes torture and imprisonment without a trial. It turns the paradigm of the good State fighting the evil terrorist on it's head, making the terrorist the patriot, and the government - evil. V for Vendetta reminds everyone who sees it what a powerful instrument of change art can be.
