V for Vendetta - A Must See
Moderator: Super Moderators
Well, it took me four months, but I have done as I promised and I watched V for Vendetta tonight. I don't know what I can say about it as an aesthetic object, but as a political statement it is quite powerful. It's one of those films that changes the framework of a conversation on a particular subject. Just as people are not going to be able to discuss gay people in the way that they used to do as a result of Brokeback Mountain, so they are not going to be able to discuss the relationship between government and its people in the way that they used to do as a result of V for Vendetta.
The spectre of fascism is now frontally on the table with a dead-seriousness that I do not even remember from the 1960s. The times they definitely are a-changin', folks. I wonder what things are going to be like in ten years. After watching this film, I am not sure that I would like to speculate.
