i went to go see v for vendetta tonight....

i didnt know this movie was THAT good.. it looked corny to me when i saw commercials.. i guess it was the idea of the dude in the mask.. well, cant wait to see it.. but it wont top batman begins in my book! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
I think V for Vendetta is an allegory for the United States and where it's heading.
I don't want to be an *******, but umm, duh.

That was the entire point of the movie, to give a "warning" if you will, that if we keep giving up our rights due to fear that is instilled in us by the government, then we will end up with nothing. It's meant to demonstrate that little by little rights don't seem significant, but that even straws will break a camel's back, so don't give up anything for fear.

 
I don't think equilibrium is the same thing, the themes in V are a lot more symbolic of modern world (US) events, and our duty as citizens.
Not taking away anything from equillibrium though...I own it, and it's a damn good flick, as was V.
bah same themes... censorship, indiviualism, whatever. but your right, Equilibrium was more futuristic.

I think V for Vendetta is an allegory for the United States and where it's heading.
I mean think about it.... it seems like the good 'ol USA is getting closer and closer to Britain in the movie. Since there has been such widespread panic about terrorism, it seems that the gov't is taking advantage of the fears of the people, with the Patriot Act and all. I'm not saying it's all bad, but it could come back to nip us in the butt, if the movie serves as a hint.

.... and to believe a conservative is saying this stuff....
well, this was based off a book written waaay before all this crap in the united states happened IIRC. forgot which book tho lol. i just think this reflects oppresive govts in general, and people taking a stand to overcome that opression. i know that sounded simple, but thats basically what went on.
