Everybody must see this. Period.

First, I must say that after seeing a film of this kind, I really feel sad, because of the people out there who don't speak, or can't understand English language. (as a Hungarian, it's not my native language too, but I hope I can express myself accordingly :-)) Listening to Hugo Weaving's incredible monologues, while he's dubbed, it's just a waste. Thank God, I've seen this movie subtitled! Hopefully, there will be a subtitled version of it on the DVD, which I'll no doubt buy.
The acting is (of course) perfect. As for Natalie Portman, I'd like to append that I've always known she's a great actress (even when she played Mrs. Skywalker), she just needed a good story to express her talent (which she got this time). I'd rather not go into further details here, as the other comments on IMDb describe the technical,performance and entertaining side of the movie pretty nicely.
My point with this comment is, that for a long time now I've been thinking about politics. I read/saw/heard the news from all around the world, and slowly an image started to fade in. I was questioning if we are on the right path (we, as in humanity). I discussed my theories, beliefs and point of views with my friends, and a few of them actually did agree with me. But that was it. Most of the people (not just my friends) haven't even thinking about these things. They live their "normal" lives, and don't care if "Mr. X" at the other side of the world throws bombs on innocent people. And why? Well, if your country piled up a huge amount of military hardware (which accidentally run and built by multinational corporations, which represents the basic foundation of the country's economy), wouldn't you want to educe that military power to please your most plentiful resources? Well, that really is an exaggerated point of view, I know. Still, the problem exists. And that's why I was so glad when first Syriana, then V for Vendetta came up. Both of these movies(alright, Syriana is bit different) opens up the eyes of the people, shows them that their fear, created by their own government, made them to forget something, that -as "V" says- shall never ever be forgot. However "V" does this a more entertaining way :-)
Of course, the situation is not that bad, yet. I'm just happy that I'm not alone with my queries, and someone who has the talent, actually did tell this possible future to the crowd in a more entertaining way than anybody ever could.
