Provocative

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2006)

There are many ways to expose corruption of the sort that defiles the memory of the Founding Fathers of this great nation we call the United States. One of the best ways is through art imitating real life and that is what has been accomplished with V for Vendetta. All anyone has to do while watching this movie is to draw the appropriate parallels with real life historical occurrences such as the Korean conflict, the Vietnam conflict with it's phony Gulf of Tonkin incident, the 1st Iraq conflict with it's the US put Sadaam up to the attack on Kuwait deal, the current Iraq invasion with its phony WMDs, and the upcoming heavily propagandized attack on Iran who could not possibly deliver a nuclear bomb in the next ten years (and even if they did we would destroy them with just one Trident submarine missile volley) to see "behind the curtain."
This is more than a movie, it is a WAKE UP CALL and all the totalitarian depictions in V for Vendetta can and is becoming a reality. As Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." This is fantastic and provocative movie and I just pray that enough people who can think outside the box that those who govern have put us all in take the time to see it.
