V for Vendetta

Volunteer · 03-20-2006, 01:48 PM

I'm still trying to catch my breath. One of the best movies I have seen in 5 years.

Unfortunately, the national media has turned it into a political issue, again.

Can we just have a movie that is entertaining without Hollywood relating it to real world issues, the dang thing is based on a comic book.

Regardless, if you like to be entertained, go see it.

vols2345, quit making me laugh, that hurts. Now that you mention it, I better have this thing checked.

So what's it about Volunteer. I have heard of it but I don't remember the plot.

Freak, the plot is so complicated it is a little hard to explain. The guys that made this movie also did the Matrix. While it doesn't have the matrix flavor to it or the multiple, slow motion jumping scenes, it does make you think a good bit about what you are watching.

The guy with the mask is a bada$$, in fact, the actor who plays him is "Mr. Anderson" from the Matrix.

I haven't seen Closer or V for Vendetta. But she sure did look good falling in the sand in Star Wars.

Volunteer, isn't America supposed to be non-existent in this movie? I thought I read somewhere that America fell into civil war because of the war in Iraq.

This movie should be pretty interesting.

**vol_freak** · 03-21-2006, 01:45 AM

It seems like everywhere I turn people are talking about this movie.

Volunteer · 03-21-2006, 08:33 AM

duckman,
Yes, America is mentioned in the movie several times. ONE of the premises of the movie is that government created viruses and killed people then had an "in" with the pharmaceutical companies who developed a cure for the viruses, thus creating a dependency by the people on the government. Fear rules the day.

I'm telling you guys, it is one of the most complicated movies I have ever seen.

The movie is based in London, but the implied timeframe is that of the not so distant future. Actually, there is a reference to the "war", one would assume or the writers expect you to assume this is post-nuclear times.

They have a "veiled" reference to Naziism, their symbols are red and black and their is a chancellor who holds rallies very similar to Hitler back in his heyday.

You have to go see it for yourself.
