People should not be afraid of their governments, the governments should be afraid of their people...

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2006)

Amazing movie...truly a brilliant tale of a freedom fighter/terrorist in post Iraq war Britain. A fascist oppressive government rules Britain and its up to V to show to people they need to rise up and disband this government. Away from the plot I knew this movie was going to be simply amazing...I didn't even bother renting before I bought it, the Wachowski brothers did the screenplay so i knew it was going to be amazing...and it was. The directing was great...Hugo Weaving does an amazing job playing V, and the supporting actors do a great job too. I believe this movie is not slamming the Bush administration, like so many people say, rather what could happen when the governments power grows too great. Governments should always be for the people and by the people, this movie demonstrates what could happen if it wasn't for the people. All in all this movie is simply amazing, the cinematography is great, the acting and the directing is great. This is probably one of the best movies I've seen in awhile and I suggest you rent it because it is truly worth your time.
My Rating: A
