Starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.

Directed by James McTeigue ( Assistant to Wachowski

brothers of Matrix Trilogy fame) and Produced by

Wachowski Brothers.

This is one dark, futuristic political movie. The plot is set in 2020 or so, when America is on decline, and UK is the new power centre. Set in london, the Uk is governed by a dictator who believes in ruling by terror.

The old bailey ( The supreme court of London) is blown up by the masked man called V. He is the main protagonist in the movie. He is the rebel who wants to bring down this dictatorship. He is helped in his cause by the pretty Natalie Portman.

For me, the movie was characterized by excellent script and dialogues written by Wachowski brothers themselves.

They struck a deep chord with in. A quotable line which touched me was
" It is not the people who should be afraid of the government, but the government should be afraid of the people".

"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. There is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof. "
Their are many other Orwellian interludes which makes
you think about the present state of governance.

The movie has got some slick action and a good climax.But most importantly its stirres up the mind. Go
watch it, but not with your girl, because you will be
glued to screen at all times.:001_cool:

The importance of letter V can be understood by this first "meaningful " conversation between V and heroine
--
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
