Where do you start with this movie?

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2006)

I loved them using the voice of Hugo Weaving for V. It was so odd and surreal to hear "Agent Smith". Hugo did a good job NOT sounding like Agent Smith for most of the movie and it helped V to become it's own character so when Hugo did sound like Smith (normally when speaking in philosophical explanations of the "why" of it all) I realized it was on purpose. Smith became whoever he wanted to become in the Matrix and he evolved in the Trilogy to be able to take over the persona of people OUTSIDE the Matrix and into Zion. And it is almost as if Agent Smith has now evolved to exist outside of the Matrix Trilogy. Almost like he is now a consciousness that can pop up in any film. It was an eerie feeling.
But back to V for Vendetta. The tag lines in the movie were great and I'll remember them and the tag lines are teaching tools themselves.
There were more than a few things in that movie that felt 9/11-ish to me. Some of the view points of the producers I'm not sure what their points were. Well let's just say I HOPE what came across was not what they meant. I got a feeling this movie will inspire more than a few people with some warped ideas. I will hold my breath on November 5, 2006.
The movie did what I think it set out to do and that was to get people thinking about their relationship with their government. And I think that was the major point of the movie. I hope there is a V2 in the works.
