Brave New World

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2006)

V for Vendetta is a movie that pulls no punches. A killer cast, stunning visuals,top-notch music and a story that could very well happen if some of it isn't happening or taking place soon. I think the observation that it glorifies terrorists is too knee-jerk. Because it goes to more of an idea not a single act of violence. It is the best new film so far of 2006!John Hurt is diabolical as the ruler of Britain. Hugo Weaving is nothing short of spectacular since it is done behind a mask. Natalie Portman gives her best performance to-date of the troubled Evey. Also the shadowy Chaney-like figure is chilling. These performances as well as the director should get Oscar nods. This is risky film making(for a big budget film). I'm surprised that there aren't more objections to this film from right-wing conservatives.
