Call me V...
Just came back from watching V for Vendetta. I give it a 4.5/5! :)
Yup its that good. The story's darn good, Natalie Portman's as enchanting as ever, though i doubt she'll ever get any taller. And V's really charming with that concise english accent of his. ^ ^ I think i'm suckers for the good old brit accent haha...
Ballocks to those who can't appreciate the movie! Haha... Ballocks. I like the sound of it~
Ok, a short review. *** Spoilers Ahead! *** But i really recommend that you watch it first. But even if u read the review, go watch it! Its infinitely nicer as a moving picture ^ ^
***
The story is starts off with Evie (Natlie Portman) out after curfew hours and is accosted by several thugs under the authority of the government (which conincidentally is ruled under the iron fist of a Hitler-wannabe). As expected V happens to be in the neighbourhood and rescues Evie from an imminent outrage of modesty.
Well, after the rather cheesy and cliche starting, the story picks up with V explaining his IDEAL, the purpose of his existence, both through lyrical muses and power packed action. Its all very sublime and really stirs the national spirit within me haha... Along the way a glimpse of V's past (or shall we say beginning?) is also shown, although you never really do get to see how he really looks like till the end. Awww... Anyway i'm sure he won't be even marginally "lookable" like the Phantom of the Opera.
Its nice how the movie chains together and links most if not all of the plots in the story nicely, building up to a very moving crescendo-ending. For the romantics out there, yes, love did transpire between Evie and V, but not just the mushy kind that movie-goers are used to. Its all very noble and spiritual in fact.
"Ideals are Bulletproof"
I love the ending. V died, but then again he lives on in each and everyone of those people who rose to his call. They are him and he is them. This is one of the few shows where the main character dies, yet you do not feel a profound sense of loss. You don't feel that his death was a defeat, but a victory.
Much like how Jesus died on the cross. And how we carry on as Christians (mini-Christs). Nice.
Seriously, go catch the show if you've got the time. Hehe i've already promised someone i'll watch it with HER again. Well, you can come along too, just let me know ^ ^
