V for Vendetta (Widescreen Edition)

Buy This Item V for Vendetta (Widescreen Edition) by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $11.49  on 8-9-2008     Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption. Reader Reviews Even though this movie had some good libertarian sentiments ("People should not fear their government, their government should fear the people") and it was delightful to me to see one of the Western world's greatest centers of tyranny get blown up (when will they do a movie about the War of 1812?), this movie's left-wing slant and political incoherence was just too much to bear. Apparently, when Fascism finally comes to Britain its main policy goals will be to outlaw homosexuality and Korans. Naturally, considering this script was written by the perverted Wachowski brothers and based on a comic book by the snake-worshipping degenerate Alan Moore, the guiding philosophies behind their fictional dictatorship is Christianity and conservatism. How utterly asinine. Everyone knows that the road to serfdom is paved with liberal intentions. Tyrannies usually come to power promising Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood, not limited government and an ethos of "Do Unto Others." I'd like to see a movie about the thousands of Western European and Canadian men in prison for thought crimes, such as questioning the official version of the so-called Holocaust, for writing or speaking out against homosexuality or the immigration invasion of their countries. Who knows where such left-wing oppression will end? A Reign of Terror, a Gulag? I look forward to the day when government will start to fear the people, but by diverting attention from the real enemies of freedom, this movie only makes that day more unlikely.
