Great Deep Moving Movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

I went into V for Vendetta not knowing what to expect and as the opening sequences started i noticed the all to familiar DC comics logo I thought to myself, "great another superhero money grabber." But as the first words began, I was caught in a tight embrace of a deep literary essence. The allusions to Dr. Faustus, and The Count of Monte Christo were superb, and the movie itself showed what a government should not allowed to become. Being a south, white, conservative I have certain ideas about what a government should be as do many others just like me, and although parts of the movie would be very offensive to someone like myself, I instead found myself in a world of free though, exactly what V himself was promoting. I feel that the director was trying to warn us, through V, what can become of a nation when its government goes unchecked for too long.
