Review of V for Vendetta (2006) by Grega. — 21 Aug 2006
This was a good comic book film with good plot and, unusually for such films, an intelligible script. But why do people want serious political messages from such a genre? Some have compared it with 1984 and Brave New World.
This is just sad. Obviously it could be better (so could everything) but there are some good touches: the use of a 16/17th century Catholic terrorist as a symbol of modern freedom was nicely ironic, whilst the vision of thousands of Guy Fawkes attending the destruction of the Houses of Parliament was very good indeed (I am English by the way).
