an excellent film with superb acting and a very clear warning about how easy it is to fall into big brother state

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2008)

this film is nothing short of being excellent i enjoyed it so much Hugo weaving as v was just brilliant his dialogue was brilliant and he just made the character so good he is not good (from his actions to eve in the middle of the film) but he is not evil (as his actions show) portman was great as eve, Stephen fry as always great, john hurt excellent as sutler really made it his own, Stephen reas excellent as the detective reminded me of john thaws as inspector Morse and i really like the guy who played Mr creedy i mistake him for lord Beckett's assistant and assian from pirates (they sound so alike) everyone in the film was great another great work from the guys behind the matrix but the one scene i must say really caught my attention was the varlie scene the gay woman who suffered so badly at the hands of sutlers government it made me realise for the first time in my life how hard it must have been for my sister (who is gay herself) to come out and say she was gay to my parents it really opened my eyes and i have found a new understanding for my sister and for people who are gay (not that i hated them before its just i had mixed feelings on it) but anyway an excellent film and a stern warning to teach us never to fall to being a big brother state ever
