The Best Movie I've Seen This Year

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2006)

It is a compelling drama and a fantasy at the same time. It's one of those rare movies that leave you thinking about the world around you and how the events in the film could actually happen - or may be happening now.
Of all the movies I've seen in the last 12 months, this is the only one that left me pondering today's events in view of the movie events. That's a powerful movie. But it is also entertaining and funny at times. The acting, the cinematography, the lighting, all support the plot and feel of the movie.
Hugo Weaving does a tremendous job evoking emotion through a masked character (that never removes his mask). Natalie Portman is superb as a young woman who is forced to realize that V is not the enemy of the people, he is the solution to the enemy of the people.
It's one you shouldn't miss.
