Catharsis

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2006)

This movie a perfect adaptation of Alan Moore's V For Vandetta. All the changes were necessary to update the film to reflect the present. Its message that fear is the greatest weapon of all, and that ideas can change a nation present a catharsis that leaves all who see it speechless. With reference to Iraq, Avian Flu, and Civil War in America this movie creates a future that is all to believable. This movie isn't just a call to arms for the people living in 2020 England but a call for all who watch it to change the world around them. The government should fear its people, if you stand against the government you aren't a terrorist but a revolutionary. V For Vandetta's depiction of media spin should open the eyes of those who find it almost too familiar. All in all this movie deserves a 10/10 for its meaning to the world today.
