Bloody heck, you all must be thinking of more ways to verbally abuse me in the forums.
ANYWAY...
Read the graphic novel published in the 80s, watch the trailer or ask anyone who have seen the movie and you'll get the gist of the it. V is a masked man with no identity, a man who holds a vendetta against the "British Government" that continues to poison the minds of its people to stay in power.
The movie is about how V wages a one man war when the rest of society begin to resonate to his fervour against the totalitarian regime.
I thought it was very, very tastily done. I managed to get the graphic novel after the movie and realised that although the movie was a lot more dramatized and the climax at the end completely different to the novel, the elements of the story stayed right in place and the Wachowski brothers, although did NOT outdo themselves this time, definitely didn't disappoint either.
Hugo Weaving's voice continues to absolutely floor me. And we don't even see his face one time in the movie!
Loved it, most honestly. Go give it a watch, it's definitely worth the money. I mean, with script excerpts like
"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 it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vangquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-Ã -vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.",
how bad can it get?
