Liberate your mind, liberate your soul and lose your locks!
Okay so i nearly doze off in the first 20 mins BUT, and i mean BUT, that does not make it a bad movie. To be honest, the first 20 mins were pretty draggy (Ms Em will agree) and the lead characters were quoting shakespearean lingo. Evey (played by Natalie Portman) was nearly raped by 3 fingermen (some secret agents) when she was caught breaking the curfew. Enter V (acted out excellently by Hugo Weaving). The charismatic anti government hero who had a penchant to string long sentences with V words in it. Who is V?Versatile, Vivacious, Villan or Victim? Who is the man behind the Guy Fawkes mask?
As expected, V rescued Evey from the evil fingermen and subsequently changes her life.
The year is 2020. England is the super power of the world. United States has become the 'new third world'. So whats there to frown about? Super power, booming economy and safe country. England has it all. Or so it seems...
England is in a crisis , proclaimed V. Citizens are under the rule of a dictator, totally ignorant of what is happening in England and are stuck in a totalitarian state. They need to see the truth, see beyond Adam Sutler (the irritating chancellor played to perfection by John Hurt) and see beyond the lies.
I shall not reveal too much of the movie. I can only say that it's a conspiracy stuck in another conspiracy. Oh yes, lets not forget about the pivotal scene when Evey got her mane shaved.The movie makes me think hard. Question marks filled my mind and it makes me ponder. Are ideas really bulletproof? (4 out of 5 stars)
