Trivia fact

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2006)

I loved the movie, and it has moved into my top 10 favorites, including, coincidentally, the 2002 version of The Count of Monte Cristo. By the way, the version that's featured in V is the 1934 version. It is not out on DVD, and it's nigh-impossible to find on VHS. V is like an opera...the characters are all very thematic, including the "grounded" characters. // I feel (and this is likely obvious) that the directors wanted to focus on the dangers of the conservative movements in both the U.S. and the U.K., and are pointing out some potential problems with a continued war in the middle east. I feel that there is just as much danger in liberal government as there is in conservative government, as governmental power is dangerous. It bothers me that they had to pick a side in this argument, instead of just going with the 'absolute power corrupts absolutely' approach. In short, this is still a fine movie.
