Review of V for Vendetta (2005)

V for Vendetta

So when I finished watching this film, I turned on CNN and the first story I hear is that NYC Police monitored many rap artists and groups that were part of the protest over the 2004 GOP national convention that was held in New York. Then trying to find this story online, I ran into an article on this new War Czar... are we living in 1939 Germany? Homeland = Fatherland, invasion of countries preemptively under the guise of national security, "Free Speech Zones", secret police monitoring peaceful assemblies, warrantless wire-tapping, we need a War Czar? I was frightened when we passed the Patriot Act, but things have gotten worse. Cleave to your liberties while you still have them, guard them closely. When our government decides to blame any one type of individual, then run.

Or maybe I am extra paranoid because of the amazing film I just watched. Two thumbs ups :-) Absolutely Awesome!

Next I will have to read the graphic novel, luckily I have a copy of it thanks to a friend of mine.
