"Unity trough the strength. The strength trough unity"

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2006)

"V for Vendetta" is the best movie I have seen after a while. The movie has everything: action, excitement, drama, romance etc. so it is more than enjoyable. The Wachowski brother have made it again. Even if the director (James McTeigue) has changed since "The Matrix trilogy" the touch of the Wachowski brothers still lingers.
In the film there can be seen the unique art form of the brothers like in "The Matrix" which was its time's ground breaker. "V for Vendetta" has the same kind of eye for the details but it is not as action-packed than "The Matrix". The fight scenes are made with good taste but this time there is no floating in the air. The dagger-swinging "V" does it with style and does not shed blood in the disturbing way.
The fact the makers made the future look like the 19th century London made a huge impression. Also the clever time solution made me cheer. As I said the Wachowski brother's have the eye of the details. Their film-making is very artistic and that is the fact their pictures are so beautiful and impressive.
"V for Vendetta" gives us an insight what the world would look a couple of years forward. I think the world might turn out to be a little bit like the world in the Wachowskies film. The non-stopping attacks, wars and exploitation are not helping to get us anywhere save place. Before we can even say nothing there is a night curvier. If the revenging does not come to its end soon it's no longer save to go out after ten o'clock. Another thing is the bigotry and hatred to the minorities. If it doesn't stop people will start to haunt each other down like the Nazi's did to Jews at the World War two. The film is very insightful and full with hidden subjects of the world today.
The acting is high quality, once again. Natalie Portman shines and she is to become one of the most brilliant actress of her generation. The Wachowskies favorite Hugo Weaving (behind the mysterious mask of "V") makes an outstanding performance. It takes a lot to carry the mask and make it look various. Weaving does a really great job! The appearances of Stephen Rea and John Hurt were important, too.
The "V" really represent all of us. I share the same opinion and philosophy: "People should not be afraid of their government. Goverments should be afraid to their people". I recommend the film to anybody who can keep an open mind. In that case the legacy of the film will fulfill itself.
