In a cinema market that's full of hamburger, this is a juicy steak.

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2006)

The theme of this movie is one word, "Nationalism". 99% of the movies addressing the issue of nationalism end up either boring, like those dialogue based movies that are full of philosophic speeches, or they end up specific to a certain group of people showing a certain incident in their history that provoke the feeling of nationalism. V for Vandetta however is neither boring, nor specific. It addresses nationalism in a generic suspense genre. It simulates a whole new world, though the country names are still the same. The country in focus is called "England", the time is the first half of the 21st century, and the target of the main character is to destroy the enemy of the English people, which happened to be their own government. The film is full of intensive symbolism; try to figure it out yourself. In general it's completely and utterly FANTASTIC.
