Shallow

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2007)

You might be wondering why I called this movie shallow. It feeds the egos of all those blind rebels who think, "finally a movie that expresses how I feel!" But the thing is, there is no substance to the movie and frankly no substance to those who take on V's attitude against corrupt leaders. He's so victimy in this, and what he puts the girl through is just a glorified brainwashing. This feeling like you are being trapped and want everyone to know that feeling and lash out against those who caused it is stereotypical narcissism. People who like this movie don't know what freedom is. This is a movie for people who are too lazy to understand the government/control paradox and are too angry to go about it in any sort of intelligent manner. These people are just angry and blame "the President" or the "Prime Minister" for being the source of all their problems when it's that shallow mindedness that got them fooled into the situation they are currently fighting against. This is what happens when people don't wake up to themselves and can't see beyond what they hear in school or see on television. This is a movie for the ignorant rebel, a crybaby with victim written all over him. Fighting against themselves more than "the cause" which for them is only a product of their own sickness. So cheer on for V, the deluded idiot who knifes the president in a glorified ejaculation. Step in line, stand up to the cookie cutter, and enjoy an imaginative expression of what goes on in the minds of people who have too much anger, no understanding and rely on the BS they see and here around them to authenticate their moody victim attitude and want a movie that provides the illusion that there is wisdom behind their meaningless life.
