"Remember Remember the Fifth Of November ...."

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2006)

"Remember remember the Fifth of November/ Gunpowder treason and plot ~~~" "V" For Vendetta" is a powerful tale set in an Orwellian society. A futuristic Guy Fawkes with a personal vendetta against Britain's despotic government leaders teaches a young woman that "God is in the rain" while Scotland Yard's chief begins to question the methods the prime minister uses to impose his personal policies & philosophy on the country. An excellent cast lead by Hugo Weaving as "V" & Natalie Portman as "Evey" brings this chilling futuristic tale to life. "V" proves that freedom of thought and individual liberty are powerful concepts when a nation's citizens are allowed to practice them. This is a movie that everyone should see and for the philosophy it teaches ~~~ y'see, Evey is right ~ God IS in the rain.
