V for Vendetta

[Nivek]

Gee, ll these complaints about Portmans accent and "over use" of Bollocks, you would think English actors playing Americans were flawless with accents and use of regional dialect and such...

 

[MARVELous M]

This was a great movie. Smart writing/plot and good surprises.

This was a great movie. Smart writing/plot and good surprises.

Its one of my favorites and so is The Matrix. Both are two of the greatest films ever made. Ever.

To emphasise the similarity between V and Gordon, superficially to make the viewer think, "Hey, maybe he's V!"

And, by the way, we in Britain do not eat, 'Eggy in a basket". Never in my life have I even heard it mentioned. As Alan Moore complained about.

I've had them in Canada, "Egg in a basket", they're pretty damn good. Just like the movie. Exceeded my expectations, can't wait to read the actual novel. I loved Watchmen and with the movie changing things there will be new elements to enjoy with the book.

 

[The Question]

Slinger, just to tell you, the book is much more pilitically sophisticated. I thinl, at least. Brings up all sorts of political philosophies that aren't even mentioned in the film.

I've checked online about what to expect.

Fascism and anarchy for starters...

I finally got my hands on the Equilibrium soundtrack, and here's the track featured in the V for Vendetta trailer:

I know I've been looking for it like a mofo. Just wanted to share with you all.

OK I got into a debate with my friend over the ending...well, close enough to it...when Finch (Stephen Rea) speculates on what could happen...the little girl getting shot, the nieghborhood confronting the officer who did it, then riots...so...did that part happen? I said no...and that the big give away is the little "bollocks" girl was shown in the crowd with her V mask watching the fire works. But I thought going with the obvious choice was missing out on some of the symbolism during Evey's narration..."He's me, he's you, he's my my father and my mother..."

thoughts?

 

[GreenKToo]

Loved it. Hugo Weaving is becoming one of my favorite actors, dude has chops.

It did happen, the little girl did die. At the end, nearly every character who died in the movie was shown in the crowd. The two lesbians, Evey's boss (Stephen Fry), I think her parents too. IT was just symbolism.

 

[Fanticon]

thanks
figured as much...is that what happened in the Moore's graphic novel?

 

[ConcreteBlock15]

Most certainly not.

Read and ye shall learn the truth...

 

[Mr. Socko]

I think this movie is under rated. I loved the dialogue, V's was the best. You had to love his all v letter speech to Evey. I am one of the few who personally liked this movie more than the book. I'm not interested in a comic book that deals with nothing but politics. Oh, Thanks Andy and Larry for adding that kick-ass blood squirting, slow motion, knife scene at the end.

Oh, and I only recently noticed that Chancellor Sutler was Hellboy's father....

I just watched this for the first time last night. Very good movie. I was surprised. Well-acted, well-written. I dug it.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

I am reading the comic again at the moment, I really noticed that the movie is very watered down compared to the comic. It would have been nice to have disturbing lines like ''Africa isn't there anymore'' in the movie. I think the comic is better than the movie afterall, but the comic has some things that I think were done better in the movie. So they both have their pros and cons.
