Amazing

I just saw V for Vendetta last night. I was quite anxious, i heard so much about it..the movie was totally up to my expectations. I was impressed of how much history, art, politics and literature there was in it. It was an exquisite mixture of so many great ideas of all times. The presence of Romanticism ( taking about the literary romanticism) was evident in the way V talked, in his love for The Count of Monte Cristo or Edmond Dantes-a revenging character by Dumas-a romantic writer, the one who wrote the 5 Mosqueteers- not surprisingly V wears a mask that associates to them. Don Kihot that V carries in his collection is also a romantic figure while the statue of Venus makes me think of classicism. Not to mention about the movies references to Nazism- they are pretty obvious.making V a Phantom of the Oprehah is quite essential in stressing the role of a hero, he has to be ruthless and unscrupulous,he cant be held back by emotions. the self conviction that there is no human sign is his appearance is what makes V the way he is. not showing his face makes it even more sublime. I am not quite sure if Natalie Portman would be of a great significance to the movie ( for as charming and talented as she may be) the movie wouldn't lack interest without her.Still she is a good pick for this movie.thats all i had to say
