Disturbing, but worth it.

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2006)

The more I think about this movie, the more I like it. Yeah, it's hard to watch some of the actions in this movie, mainly because all the horrendous ones are not done by the obvious villains. V's agenda is disturbing, but more importantly, it can cause us to ask ourselves why it disturbs us. This is not a simple good vs. evil movie. We never see V's face, but Evy says, in effect, that he is all of us. There is always a part of us that will eventually destroy our rulers to regain our freedom. And yet, will we always let it come to that point? The point where the only way out is violent destruction. Are there any real innocents in this scenario? You can spot a few in this movie -- before they die. These are the kinds of significant questions this movie can cause us to ponder -- if you go beneath the surface and look for the ideas. I'd go see it again.
