      Based

      Alan
      Moore’s
     
     
      25
      year
      old

      a
     
     
      modern
      facelift
      that
     
     
      makes
      it
      all

      more
     
     
      The
      movie
     
     
      follows
      Evey
     
     
      Hammond
      (Natalie
     
     
      Portman),
      a
      secretary
      at
     
    
   
   
    
     
      creepy.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      a
      television
      show
      in
      a
     
     
      slightly
      futuristic
      (and
     
     
      very
      different)
      London.
     
    

    
     
      Fear
      of
      terrorism
     
     
      and
      a
      constant
      reminder
     
     
      of
      a
      plague
      that
      killed
      almost
      100,000
     
     
      british
      citizens
      keeps
      the
      people
      in
      line
     
     
      and
      things
      are
      rapidly
      getting
      out
      of
     
     
      hand.
      News
      reports
      are
      censored
      and
     
     
      even
      comedians
      are
      taken
      away
      in
      the
     
     
      dead
      of
      night,
      never
      to
      be
      seen
      from
     
     
      again,
      just
      for
      a
      gag
      bit
      that
      touches
      a
     
     
      nerve.
     
    

    
     
      Evey
      meets
      the
      protagonist,
     
     
      known
      only
      as
      codename
      V,
      when
      she
     
     
      is
      attacked
      by
      ‘fingermen’,
      the
     
     
      governments
      SS-inspired
      intelligence
     
     
      agents.
      The
      story
      spirals
      downwards
     
     
      as
      V
      saves
      her
      and
      opens
      her
      (and
      the
     
     
      publics)
      eyes
      to
      the
      truth
      of
      their
     
     
      society.
     
    

    
     
      Huge
      Weaving
      puts
      out
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      best
      performances
      of
      the
      year
      and
     
     
      that’s
      with
      his
      face
      concealed
      by
      a
     
     
      mask
      for
      the
      entire
      film.
      The
     
     
      screenplay
      was
      adapted
      from
      Moore’s
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Bachelor
      of
      Applied
      Business
     
    
   
   
    
     
      e-Business
     
     
      Degree
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      work
      by
      the
     
     
      Watchowski
      brothers,
     
     
      of
      Matrix
      fame.
      But
     
     
      don’t
      expect
      a
      huge
     
     
      action
      fest,
      while
      it
      has
     
     
      some
      action
      moments
     
     
      and
      they’re
      well
      done,
     
     
      this
      is
      a
      drama
      of
      epic
     
     
      proportions.
     
    

    
     
      Many
      connections
     
     
      could
      be
      made
      to
     
     
      current
      society,
      both
      in
     
     
      North
      America
      and
     
     
      abroard,
      and
      the
      movie
     
     
      does
      a
      creepy
      job
      of
     
     
      making
      you
      empathise
      with
      what
      is
     
     
      essentially
      a
      terrorist.
     
    

    
     
      Weaving’s
      ‘V’
      may
      blow
      up
     
     
      buildings
      and
      kill
      people,
      but
      he
      thinks
     
     
      it’s
      for
      the
      right
      reasons
      and
      attempts
     
     
      to
      convince
      Evey
      to
      join
      his
      cause.
     
     
      What
      follows
      is
      a
      compelling,
      well
     
     
      thought
      out
      story
      of
      revenge,
     
     
      patriotism
      and
      government
      control.
     
    

    
     
      While
      a
      little
      heavy-handed
      at
     
     
      times,
      the
      movie
      deals
      with
      heavy
     
     
      subjects.
      It
      mixes
      the
      frantic,
      over
      the
     
     
      top
      government
      side
      with
      Weaving’s
     
     
      elegant
      portrayal
      of
      a
      man
      betrayed.
      I
     
     
      would
      recommend
      this
      movie
      to
     
     
      anyone,
      and
      it’s
      easily
      one
      of
      the
      best
     
     
      movies
      I’ve
      seen
      in
      years.
     
    

    
     
      As
      ‘V’
      says:
      “People
      should
      not
     
     
      be
      afraid
      of
      their
      governments.
