*M* V for VendettaOnly managed to catch the dvd last night since I missed the movie screening.
Awesome. One of the best movies I have watched in recent time. The theme surrounds around politics, power, and terrorism. The dialogue is amazing. A movie which makes me think harder and deeper. What will you choose? Freedom or safety?
Catch it if you haven't. You won't regret it.
Rating: 5 stars!
I leave you with some of the memorable quotes in the film.........
- "The building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world."- "Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. "- "I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much."- "You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it."- "My father was a writer. You would've liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth while politicians use them to cover the truth up."- "Bollocks"
