V4V is a Awesome, simply Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

One can't ask for more of the Moore's adaption to a movie, V4V. Director James McTeigue comes with another masterpiece after MATRIX. And Natalie Portman (along with a stellar supporting cast of Stephen Rea), comes out with another brilliant performance after CLOSER. This is a movie about REVOLUTION that might come in future years, but whatever it is, it was a revelation of the 2006 movies. This is the same time as CRASH hit the theaters last year, and I would be surprised if this film is not nominated for OSCARS'07! I won't go into the storyline, as many of comments had already posted a brief outline of the movie. But the essence of the story is: A day is near when common people are going to revolt against the government, someone somewhere is just yet to arrive to hold the torch of the Revolution. The film compares everything, starting from Hitler's attitude to modern day's HITLERs out there (almost in every continent)! It also projects the diseases conquering the world (from Avian Flue, deadly viral disease etc). It reflects the war within us, the war of power-frenzy humans against the weaker ones and against the common people. Essentially the movie relates the saga of human life in the 21st century is the same as it was in 20th century, nothing different, only more sophisticated. A must watch. It left me spellbound, hope it will cast a same effect on you too.
