What does V stand for again?

Tue Mar 28, 2006, 1:23 PM
SO this past weekend, I saw V for Vendetta. As a highly hyped movie based on a comic book I have never read, I expected to hate it.

Thing is, I didn't hate it. I actually loved it. I loved the thinly veiled political commentary - I loved the hypothetical parallels, and I loved the blowhard "voice of london." Naturally, the current administration seems to find it "distasteful," what with the themes of revolution and such, but c'est la vie. Similar sentiments can be found in the notes of the founding fathers.

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." - sounds like something you would read in an old Revolutionary War pamphlet printed as a filler image in a history textbook, doesn't it? Media has a very strong effect on people, for better or for worse. While I doubt 'V' is going to incite a large scale protest involving Guy Faukes masks, it does raise alot of questions about media control and suppression.

Anyway, peace. I have stuff to do.
  • Mood: Angry
  • Listening to: Incredibad - Kablamo
  • Reading: David Sedaris - Naked
  • Watching: Well... take a guess.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts . . . .

It's showtime.
