Just came back from viewing V for Vendetta.
I am impressed.
Goddamned impressed.
So impressed I may go see it again next week when time prevails.
The movie may have been done from a comic or graphic novel, but it is a powerful, powerful film. Natalie Portman was good as the tortured daughter who watched her family die. Hugo Weaving is incredible as the bitter, vengence-seeking V who ultimately learns what it's like to be human again : to feel, to love, to want and desire.
Lest you think this is like other comics transformed into a money-making spiel (think Xmen, gorgeous, a heady adventure from real life, but utterly unbelievable) I hasten to add that the film is dark, heady and very real. Almost like a satire.
It drew me in, it made me share the lives of the characters, felt their anguish, their pain, their passion for life. I haven't quite felt a movie touch me like this for a long long time.
Most excellent!
PS
Natalie Portman was really quite good. However did she end up in the horror that was Star Wars?
