Vengeance and Revolution.

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2016)

It has been eleven years since V came out and despite its modest box office run, the cult following ,which has created is impressive to say the least. As is commonly known is based on the graphic novel of Alan Moore, one of famous comic artist and writers ever and as he does with every adaptation of its work disown it. For real I can not see why, for the changes to the characters ,story and some events every adaptation of a literature work has those ,but we don't see the guys who wrote X- men: Days of Future Past wine abouts it.
Any way the film as it stand is amazing and the political commentary it makes to the Post Nine Eleven world we live in ,makes it still on the point even a decade after its release. So the story centers to a post crisis stricken United Kingdom in which a totalitarian regime has rose and propaganda ,fear and lack of freedom in general is the norm and we follow our ,in sense, the main point of view character Eve, who meets on fifth of November V, a vigilante dead set to raise the government to the ground with any mean if need it. So as the story progress we witness Eve coming in to her out and a revolution movement happening.
The theme of the film is sum up by the man in the Guy Fox mask himself: "The shouldn't be afraid of the government ,but the government of the people".It sounds a bit easy to understand ,but the meaning applies and to the real world as well. The governments shouldn't keep secrets from the citizen who vote for them nor spy on the in the name of security and we all know these were true then and true now. So ,fine it changed in order to fit better the time of its making, just like the original was made to criticize the Thacher type of government in the eighties, where is the problem ,both adaptation hit the authority where was deed it at the time.
In the end ,Alan Moore maybe has created many amazing comic book run and graphic novels ,but in these case was an asshole and the flick rocks. A must see in deed!!
