An outrageously good movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2006)

V for Vendetta exemplifies what writers/directors should be setting out to accomplish when thinking of a movie. Granted, V was an overtly kick-ass character, it still says so much when you watch a movie, and it truly moves you. With Vendetta, the oblivious reference to political structure, and unwaivering control should be relevant to all of us. As a writer/artist myself, I've learned that when you write and create, it should be for the purpose of moving your audience. If you aren't trying to move your audience to an idea, to an ideal...then what are you writing for? While many movies are made with the rhetoric of mere entertainment, Vendetta shines as an upstanding example of, deep down, what all movie goers want from their movies. To be moved. Excuse yourself from the turmoiling task of watching Failure to Launch with your girlfriend....and go see this movie now!
