V is not just a mask, its an idea!

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2006)

I always thought that this movie is going to be kind of sci-fi action packed yet another Wachowaski brother's matrix type of flick. But got to tell you this was amazing piece of work. From the beginning till the end I was on the edge of the seat. From the first scene when V got introduced, it was like who and why is he "V"?
Finally when I got out of the theater,I was debating myself, how much is there beyond our personal life which is untouched and unknown! Although the movie seems to have set in future and sounds fictional, the incidents and the political situation always represents today's world. And most of the countries are going through these facts.
The movie not only shows how the government uses their own public to experiment on drugs, religion and anti-homosexuality, it also shows how a individual can contribute to fight against the prevailing system. It tells us that it's only the "fear", that kills our system. The ending is what is very inspiring. The most moving dialogue was when V says "beneath this mask there is more than flesh. There is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof"
As the movie moves on you get involved with V character so much, that you start believing his preach, and somehow you find him a hero of your world too. Basically in the movie it is "Evey" who is represented as getting inspired by V showing different life situations, but finally "Evey" is just a character and that could be anyone as you :)
Hugo, who has acted as V is amazing. He seems creepy with the mask, but the acting and the voice which reflects the movie sequences is very impressive. Natalie Portman is as usual fantastic. As "Evey" character she couldn't be more justifiable! Her looks and expressions are well portrayed. And even the rest of the cast in the movie is well acted.
And last but not least to mention are action scenes. Wow! They were just visual treat to eyes.
This is a must see movie. This movie not just represents Natalie Portman, it could be me, my family or friends or you!
