Wonderfully Seditious

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2007)

If Bush and Blair and the rest of the New World Order s*iterati think they're going to run the world because of the ideas they put into our heads, V for Vendetta is a good start for an antidote.
This is one to treasure and show to everyone you can. The way we're going, this will be on the banned list in 10 years time. Get it, love it, keep it. Disseminate it.
Oh, and as a film, it will live up to the reviews here, I have shown it to a wide social spectrum of people and it appears to have great universal appeal.
The irony of casting John Hurt as the dictator was exquisite considering that he was the victim of the state in 1984, Natalie Portman is divine as a young woman (well done you) and Hugo Weaving (the name has to be a joke like Megan Bacon) is the best silent movie act in a talkie since Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter - and his voice is equally mellifluous.
Quite a remarkable feat in one film.
Let's go one better next year and do the White House too.
