V for Vendetta is E for Excellent
I took the boys to see V for Vendetta today. It's excellent and The SMH says "The most astonishing movie to come from a major studio in a long time"
This entry in wikipedia sums the movie up:
V for Vendetta is a 2006 film set in a futuristic London, and follows V, a freedom fighter, who uses terrorist tactics in pursuit of both a personal vendetta and sociopolitical change in a dystopian future Britain.
We're just suckers for a dystopian themed movie!
There's so much to the movie, but the thing that stuck in my mind is it's really clever. Check out this piece of dialog:
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." -- V's introduction to Evey
Wow!
And Natalie Portman gets her head shaved
