V for Vendetta


"People shouldn't fear government. Government should fear people."
V

Finally a mainstream movie with something in its head. Ideas. I'm kind of amazed that this movie got greenlighted because it is a tough critique on using the excuse of terrorism to seize political power. In a way it's like a companion to "1984" in the way that it portrays government, but unlike the Orwell book, it offers hope. It says people can make a difference. Anyway, it's a movie worth seeing. In this age of sequels, remakes and movies based on bad tv shows, it's a true find.

buena película. una crítica explícita a las prácticas y estilos del gobierno de bush, especialmente en la parte que toca el control de información y manipulación de masas.


en otra nota: natalie portman, creo que es ella la que sale en esa película, se ve bien hasta calva carajo. hehehehehehe

great movie, great choice of actors, in my opinion. V a.k.a. Mr. Smith from The Matrix a.k.a. Insert his real name here is FANTASTIC.....he makes me want to rebel against all corrupt forms of government.....including the one "terrorizing" Puerto Rico......only here the movie's title would be

P for Perreta!
