V for Vendetta?!
Question:
V for Vendetta?
Who here like the movie V for Vendetta? plaese explain why, i saw it and it is a good movie but my friend always watches it so who here watched it 10 times or more? and why do you like it?
Answers: its a really good movie.i like the character V in that movies.hes smart not to mention eloquent.(Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.)..............look at the brilliant alliteration in those sentences. I think your friend just likes Natalie Portman. In my opinion she was the only likable part of the whole film. i saw it and i liked the story. i am just not a fan of slasher movies in general. it's a pretty spectacular movie though. i think most people like it for the plot and natalie portman. watched it 10 times its a wonder you had time to ask a question. Suggest moving on to W there maybe something worth watching 20 times, save on renting videos and by the time you get to Z it could stretch Xmas to Xmas. Whatever the case may be, I found V For Vendetta highly entertaining and satisfying. It opens strong, telling the back story of the Gunpowder Plot and laying the groundwork for what is essentially a revenge tale with a much loftier message. There is more to V's crusade as the story unfolds, but I'll keep from those reveals. The story is very smart in the way it manages to carry out a plotline that could easily leave audiences cold or turn them against him, leaving the viewer to judge V for themselves. His quest is not without conflict and his methods are not always entirely justifiable. Still, his quest is a fascinating one and satisfying on the most basic levels of bloodlust, vengeance and justice. Fantastic film. I like that he wasn't 'unmasked' and he has a dark side. Love for them to do a sequel. V for Vendetta requires more intellect to fully understand the subtleties that are presented to you in the full film. However, from an artistic point of view, how the movie is produced with the editing and elaborate scenes is a masterpiece in itself. V's face is never reveals which allows the viewer's imagination to run rampant, allowing the director rely on something other than direct presentation. The eloquence in V's poetic lines also contribute to the art of film. I could go on and on about how great the film was, but I'll move onto the bigger picture.
I must admit, there are some scenes and lines that I do not fully understand...yet. However for those that I've interpreted, the central theme revolves around the role of government, censorship, and patriotism. The role of government is exemplified through the tyrannical rule of the guy (who's name I have forgotten). Censorship is practiced almost as a religion with the scenes of the televisions being cut away from true journalism and the part where they think it's the government's job to cover things up. And lastly, patriotism plays a humongous role as well, with the whole, "Hail England," remark.
I could go on forever, but I'll cut it short.
If you watched this movie and did not like it or did not know why it was such an impacting movie, I encourage you to rewatch the movie and think about the implication of V's word/actions.
Cheers. Hugo Weaving as a wise cracking devil may care action hero.
Natalie Portman as the girl who needs rescueing and comes to a greater height at the end.
I am a fan of mask movies and aside from Phantom of the opera,Vanilla Sky, and a few others this ranks high in my book for its originality and use of language.
Such as V's Introduction where he uses almost all v words to intoduce himself. I loved this film. I thought it was an excellent satirical representation of American society.
Though i do admit i don't always watch, i think i've watched it twice. At one point I watched it every weekend for at least half a semester
It has good taste, good plot. Characters are well designed, established and yet intriguing.
My favorite scene is in fact that when Evey got captured and tortured by V. Seeing her broken down, and rebuilt upon reading the note from between the crack of the wall.
Of course, the V speech at the beginning proves that the directors are not dumba***s trying to make money. I still haven't been able to memorize it yet :( well i've seen parts of it and it looks kind of stupid in my opinion I love V for vendetta. I've only watched it once. But if someone asked me to watch it again I will be the first to say yes. I liked it becuase it was unique and I like the chemistry between Nataile Portman and Vendetta. It's so sad at the end. Plus all the fighting sequences is really entertaing. I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars. It was awesome. I'd even buy it if I wanted to. i have and because i love it lol The movie wasn't awful (also wan't great), but it really dose not do justice to the graphic novel. If the writers had written the script like the movie was auctually based on the comic then I think it could have been great. Good film playing with British history,which makes it more interesting than other scfi movies around,hope they make a sequel.
