A Political Fantasy of Magnanimous Proportion

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2006)

"V for Vendetta" is a political fantasy of magnanimous proportion. It definitely highlights the incredible talent of Natalie Portman. She plays Evey who is challenged by V from beginning to end. There are scenes in this movie that remind one of "The Matrix". There is also a scene that is very similar to the style of the fight scenes in the "Kill Bill" series. Although this is a fantasy, it has deeper social and political meaning. It takes place in London, and the sets are spectacular. One should, however, take particular note of Portman's talent. She dominates this movie with her deep introspective gaze, and her performance truly makes this movie a sparkling one. It will prove to be an adventure for the older as well as younger crowd, so don't miss it.
