Post; V for Vendetta


Well, im not sure where this movie would fall, it is both military and political, but it was absolutly awesome, best movie i have see in a while.

Plot (dont read if you want it spoiled)

It is around 30 years in the future. The british government has been seized by a sort of nazi/theocratical party, that used fear of terrorism and a super virus to gain control. They set loose a virus that killed many people, then blamed it on muslim extremeists. The US has fallen apart (as in a 2nd civil war) and the britain hass gone crazy with censorship, arrests, imprisonments, and secret killings. V, a victim of the development of said virus, tries to set loose a rebellion. In the end the rebelion suceeds

Reason its so good-

Great action scenes of course, but there are so many paralells with diffrent things with the world today, it definatly carried a politcal message, thats one reason its so good. You almost need to see it twice to get all of it. Example- extremists gain control through a "terrorist attack", which is like the US government. A note on the side, the guns they used ruled; i saw: G36s, M16A4, an unidentified pistol (probably not real) and MP5s.

I recommend this movie to everyone. Please go out and see it, i can say beyond a doubt you will not be disapointed.
