V for Vendetta
I know I've been absent for a while, but I absolutely needed to post and give great accolades to V for Vendetta. This movie must be seen by all citizens and hopefully light a fire under our asses.Though the setting of this movie is a futuristic, totalitarian England the parallels between this setting and present day America are blatant. Like our own government, the British government in this movie violates its citizens civil rights as standard procedure and regularly use fear and lies as tools of manipulation. Unlike modern America, this setting has a hero who opposes tyranny and represents justice.
The directing of this movie was genius, with excellent choreography and a list of subtleties that only multiple viewings could uncover. Natalie Portman was, as always, superb.
The ending of this movie is so moving that I could hardly control myself.
I reiterate: this movie is an absolute must see!
People Should Not be Afraid of Their Governments. Governments Should be Afraid of Their People.

Wow. You're defined by your disbelief in God. A life wasted. Good job on liking V for Vendetta.
Fascinating conclusion on someone that you don't even know. You read a blog and think you know the intimate details of its author's life; pretty small minded I'd say, but I'm not surprised.
Contrarily, there are people that allow their entire lives to revolve around an ancient superstition and the imaginary friend that springs from it. Billions of waisted lives.
It is my prerogative to vent my sadness and frustration at my species, whose potential for greatness is unbound yet unrealized because of this antiquated and pointless distraction.
My life is defined by my ambition, my accomplishments and my family. Far preferable to the ignorant and mad perspective of the multitude of fanatics. I am thoroughly happy and fulfilled and have no concern with the negative opinion of a silly prick that fancies himself "Conan the Republican."
I've seen this movie as well and i think it's awesome, and you clearly can see the similiraties between the movie and USA for example.
I think the movie could be applied to any country goverment, they all could be capable of something like that.
Oh and i recommend you read the comics... way more political but it's worthy.
