V for Vendetta
 

I just saw this and really enjoyed it. I've got two questions, the easy one, what did everybody else think of it?
The hard one is this, what does this movie mean to us, as a society? It's clearly a political movie, it obviously is pointing to our current (US) leadership and how we, as a country, have dealt with post 9-11 reality. It's extrapolated this into a 1984 scenario and set it in a nicely historically referenced England (this is my take on it).
My feelings are that there are basically two groups. One that sees this movie, understands what it's saying, and supports the resolution Then one that either will not see it because the promos seem to promote "terrorism", will see it and fail to understand what it's talking about, or the one that scares me most, the group that will see it, understand it, and but disagree and believe that the government was justified doing what it did. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think the people who need this movie most aren't going to get it.

Just curious what you all think, thanks.

I took my youngest son (13) to see it and we both enjoyed it, although he more than I. It was good in a strange way. As for it being a political movie, I see movies and read books for the fiction in them..I have enough reality in my life and therefore I didn't try to analyze it at all.

We saw it last week and my sweetie really enjoyed it for the symbolism and the action. I thought it was lame and boring. I can appreciate the movie for what it tried to do politically, I just don't care for those types of movies. I did however enjoy groping my sweetie in the dark. :)

I'm seeing it today, I'll get back to you.
