Secrecy of Oppression

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2014)

Freedom is a right of every person, yet it's a highly valuable commodity in scarcity today. Surveillance can be outright blatant (e.g. with strict curfews) but can also be secretive. The futility in all of this is that the public's expressions may be silenced, and freedom abolished. Not only does this decrease our quality of life, but it leads to the population living in fear.
V for Vendetta has a lot to offer. With subtle yet strong messages implicating past, current and future trends, this film reveals the truth surveillance states face. With great screenplay and plot development, this deep movie is exciting with both action and romance from start to finish. Despite its fantasy and surreal effects, there's a very strong sense of realism. The events in this film are not so different from modern day.
I truly enjoyed V for Vendetta. Although there are sequences full of unrealistic elements, the overall film is enthralling and stimulates the mind. It is one that reminds us of the duty each citizen holds. The power of an idea cannot be underestimated.
