Default V for Vendetta

Just saw this tonight, wanted to see it on Friday but...didn't. Has some great ideas in it, if the TV shows could get off of the subject of Natalie Portman's fucking haircut and touch on some of the issues i'd be a lot more happy.

I would have liked a little more physical violence, personally, but it was still a damn good movie. Really questions the line between terrorism and freedom fighting.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

She looked like a little boy.

Movie was pretty good though. I agree with the "more physical violence" thing. I don't have any complaints outside of that.

I have more complaints. [spoilers below]

It was one of those movies where around every turn you were asked to take a big gulp of faith in order to continue believing the plot. Just little shit really bothered me all throughout the movie. One example; when he dies in the subway in her arms, a scene later, he's lying in the train decorated with roses. Are we to assume 80 lb. Natalie Portman picked him up, put him in there, and then decorated him with roses that she was so foresightful to bring along?

I realize I'm being anal here, but it's hard for me to enjoy a movie when there's one of these little "uhhh...wtf" moments every five minutes.

It was cool though. A lot of badass dialogue and it was very entertaining. I'd give it a B+.

Even though I have little tolerance for preachy films, especially ones that are suppose to be parables for present governments, I'll still probably see it.

Haha, yeah, i didn't think too much about her picking him up and putting him up there, but the gagillion roses I did question. Also, when he was keeping her prisoner, How did he pass off shaving her head w/o wearing a mask, and also when he came into the room and tortured her and shit he had the appearance and voice of the bad guy Creedy, and there also seemed to be a few other different voices/shadows. How could he do that if it was just him?

It is my experience that most red heads are pretty anal.

I just got back from seeing it. I enjoyed it very much. [spoilers follow i suppose]

It was a little hard to believe that she got him into the train and on the raised up section. As for the roses.. V was growing those roses. The subway station was under V's house, was it not? She went upstairs and got them.

I cracked up at the kiss scene where she kisses him, yet he still has the mask on. I think they should have shown his face to give him a bit more character, but it wasn't essential. I thought the same thing about the flowers (although I did not think about her putting him on the train).

The "we've got guns, all you've got are your fancy knives and karate gimmicks." "No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I will no longer be standing, because if I am you will all be dead before you've reloaded." scene was awesome.
