A slap in our face

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

A standard has been set for those of us who live in a society of fear. "V for Vendetta" was clearly made as a slap in our face- something to wake us up from our lazy fat slumber; a shot of adrenaline against the narcotic filth that our society fills us with every day.
Many themes run through this movie, many borrowed from works we've already at least heard of. Vengeance, courage, truth, true freedom. Though the themes are not original, and even some of the movie is reminiscent of some classic works, the presentation is fantastically original and new. It's a reminder of what we have and what we're slowly giving away.
This is something everyone should see.
