Great movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2007)

I am one of those who didn't really like Matrix, I found it a little amusing, but I thought and still believe it's largely overrated. From the Matrix series I got a really bad personal opinion about Wachowski bros. I have to say that after seeing V for Vendetta I found myself thrilled by the delicious pleasure of having a personal belief show untrue. I was wrong, this guys are good at writing, very very good.
I love V for Vendetta, is one of my favorite movies from recent years, and I give it a 10 out of 10 without doubts. The screenplay is simply extremely good. And the overall movies, mixing contemporary references, superheros fantasies, politics, emotions, ideals, special effects, and everything, is simply a really well made movie.
It's true that it's criticism is always straight forward, and it's also true it often rely on simple icons, and powerful but not such complex and sophisticated dialogs. Nevertheless it's never rough, nor fancy, and never stupid or vulgar. I am pretty sure Orwell would have not liked it, he used to be more sharp and less blatant...
But this movie does have his style and beautiful lyric.
This is a movie you will like whatever you are looking for. And more said, this is a movie which show you can portrait a comic character, you can talk about politics, you can entertain... In an intelligent and useful way...
You just have to know how to do it. And those guys knows it, they proved it.
