Truly remember V for Vendetta

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2006)

Though I'm not familiar with Moore's work and how true the movie stays to his original work, it is imperative that V for Vendetta is viewed with a clear and open mind. It has been characterised as pro-gay by gay people, some anarchists view it as pro-anarchy, and so on and so on. The main idea which is extremely important is to remember: Remember the Armenian genocide, remember the Nazis, remember Fascism, Stalin's era, remember Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua. Remember all the suffering people have suffered throughout history from one another. Remember the power hungry egomaniacs. Remember what is happening today. Yes, remember neo-conservatism because what people will think of it in the future depends on what you think of it today. V for Vendetta is current in its theme, but it also urges us, anyone, to see injustice in its every form: it does not force a certain perspective or opinion other than what should be the human norm. Liberty and justice for all, in their true, undimmed, undiminished, literal, forms. Truly magnificently done, it should be remembered.
