V For Vendetta (Blu-ray)
| 1 March 2009 – Sunday [singlepic id=241 float=left]V For Vendetta is based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore. It’s set in an alternative timeline, where England has become a facist state. The reasons for this become clear throughout the movie. We are introduced to V, who sparks a revolution via anarchy. The story follows Evie, played by Natalie Portman. V saved her from a attempted rape and assualt, and a friendship starts between them. We witness her transformation into someone who embraces the views of V. Having read the graphic novel before seeing the movie originally, one’s left with a little sadness that they couldn’t bring the full effect of the novel through. But these things aren’t really feasible without making a convoluted over-long movie which would’ve really not appealed to anybody but the hardcore fans. As such, I enjoyed the movie for what it was, and the message that the novel conveys came through well enough in the end with the movie. Well worth a watch if you enjoy Orwellian type movies. Score |
