V.

Helloo. Will the person who commented anonymous in my last entry please identify yourself. Cos as much as i like comments in my blog, i also like to picture the face of the person who wrote it. Thankyouverymucho.

I watched V for Vendetta. And i must say, it was GOOOOOOD. I liked it anyway. I thoguht it was going to be some shallow crime-fighting translation of a comic book character. But no... It was set in the future, and in that time the United States of America had fallen from being the world's superpower after the war in Iraq and ceased to exist. The UK was taken over by a government who imposed a Hitler-like regime in England in the name of some branch of Christianity, and their motto was "England will (or must?) prevail". Complete compliance by the people was expected. They caught religious leaders, homosexuals, supporters of the opposition, etc and stuffed them into detention centres where they became lab rats for scientists. And it was in the light of this situation that V, a masked individual (who escaped from Larkhill Detention Centre in a fire, horribly burnt) inflamed with vengence against the government, decided to fight back. Killing people who worked in the detention centre when he was there, and people of high importance in the government. He wore a wig, a mask, a black cape and gloves, and went by the name V.

Okay i'm rather tired of summarizing the movie. Go and watch yourself. I thoguht it was much better than any movie based on a comic book that has come out so far. And Natalie Portman looks so pretty even when bald. I shall leave you with a poem on Guy Fawkes, the man who plotted to blow up the Parliament building on November the 5th in some ancient year. It's in the movie.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
