To V

"Remember remember the fifth of november...." Those who've seen the movie "V for Vendetta" will know exactly what i'm talking about. Another magnificent creation from the stables of the wachowski brothers, this movie grabs you by the balls and squeezes so hard you dont know whether to scream out in pain or just pass out. If you think the matrix was the limit of these guy's creative expertise, you dont know how wrong you were. The movie is set in a totalitarian society somewhere in the near future (shades of the novel "1984" by george orwell perhaps) where people are ruled by a faceless dictator and his minions. V is the name of the protagonist shown throughout the movie only in a guy fawkes mask. When i first saw the movie, i was totally mesmerized by this guys acting. I mean, he had a mask on and he couldnt show ant emotion. But his dialogues and articulation will just have you hooked. imagine my surprise when i found out that the guy behind the mask was agent smith (think matrix). kudos to him for an mazing performance. The screenplay is dark, according to the mood of the film, and some of the dialogues and sequences are truly mind blowing. Natalie protman does a wonderful job in the female lead.. I don't think i need to say much more.... If i had to rate this movie it'd probably be 10/10.... yeah i know it truly has me floored. As V says "Remember remember the fifth of november..."
