I know this is an older movie, but I watched it for the first time yesterday and really loved it. I didn't understand it at first, but the movie is about a terrorist/vigilante named "V" fighting for freedom from an oppressive government in Great Britain in the not-so-distant future. He also has to take revenge on a number of party members that wronged him in the past. Evey, a girl who was roped into all this on chance (or maybe not chance...) is being sought after by the police for being seen with the masked terrorist while he blew up a building. V finally rids Evey of fear and she becomes truly free, while he stirs things up and starts a revolution to overthrow parliament.
The movie is based on a graphic novel and has a real comic book feel to it that works in its favor. From the people who brought you The Matrix, this film is very entertaining and thought provoking; it really sticks with you after you watch it.
And for all you fellow Sherlock lovers out there, if you're still not convinced, Rupert Graves is a police inspector in this movie... sound familiar?
Isn't Natalie portman in it?
ReplyDeleteYup, she's fantastic as always. She even has her head shaved!
