V for Vendetta

[Danger Mouse]

Pop in the second disc. At the main menu, go to "More" at the bottom of the screen.

After entering the next screen, press up to the winged logo directly above Cat Power Montage. The logo should then turn black. Press Return (or Enter, or whatever) on your remote.

For me, the greatest thing about the movie was that the character of V was bought to life so effectively. In the most basic manner, he's just such a cool character. Visually he's perfect, updated slightly but almost exactly as he appears in the source.

Hugo Weaving was absolutely spot on, one of the best casting decisions in recent memeory. However, in the comic it's clear V has the voice of an English shakespearian actor, and it would be wonderful to hear someone of that nature play the role.

That sample shows how beautifully the spirit of the book was captured in the film.

I love that part form the graphic novel. Too bad it wasn't in the movie. But both the GN and the movie are great in their own ways.

"The only thing you and I have in common Mr. Creedy is that were both about to die."

 

[Chris Wallace]

"How do you imagine THAT'S going to happen?"

 

[chosen1]

"With my hands around your neck."

 

[Chris Wallace]

"Bollocks. We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Only your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We've got guns."

 

[chosen1]

yes my favorite line.....


"No, what you have are bullets, and in the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing. Because if I am. You'll all be dead before you've reloaded."

What's cool is, I do a great V voice.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Best. Line. Of. The. Movie.

Very true.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Glad I'm not alone on that one.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Have to say, Natalie Portman's 'English' accent is terrible. Appalling even. It varies between a poor attempt at stereotypical cockney (Dick Van Dyke style) and an basic upper class, "Oh, I'm reading Shakespeare' type voice.

Just plain bad.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I didn't think she was THAT bad. But for all I know you may be a Brit & as such, would view things dfferently. I served in the military & find it impossible to watch a war/military movie w/o picking it apart.
The DVD cover describes V as a "bold, charismatic freedom fighter". I like that description. I like the fact that, while we spend so much time with him, so much about him remains a mystery never to be solved. We don't know who he was, why he was imprisoned, how he received his training, or how he just seemed to know certain things were going to fall into place. But it was so much fun getting there.

Yeah, I'm English and I'm in England. I mean, she was great in every respect, except the accent. I'd be happier if they just let her be American. Or have someone else play Evey.

 

[Chris Wallace]

See. I stick to my opinion that, being actually FROM England, (or IN) your perceptions of American actors doing British accents will differ from mine, or anyone else who's never actually been there. It makes perfect sense to me. By the same token, when I see a movie that's supposedly set in Chicago, my hometown, I'm less quick to forgive inaccuracies.

Sure. Although I always take note of accents, and am equally embarassed by Brits doing stereotypical, all-encompassing 'American' accents as well. For me, unless you're Meryl Streep or Gary Oldman, don't try any accents.
