A timely thought.
Opening with one of the most amazing alliterative speeches ever, this film gripped from start to finish.
Fantastic performances from the whole cast, action, romance and a really creepy London. V hit all the right buttons being a film that made the viewer veer from emotion to emotion.
Remarking on the control of the media citing 1984 as a model of what could still be, this film takes a poke at Governments feeding the masses lies and desperately trying to manipulate the future by wiping out the past.
Untouchables become touchable and the sad but inevitable conclusion give the audience hope.
A feast of well delivered dialogue mixed with gripping action V delivered everything you would expect from one of the most creative teams currently making films.
And seeing the Houses Of Parliment being blown up to spur the masses from subjugation. About time.
Brilliant.
