Have you watched this film?
What are your thoughts?
In the near future, Britain is ruled by the Norsefire political party, a fascist and authoritarian regime led by High Chancellor Adam Sutler, which controls the populace through propaganda, and imprisons or executes those deemed undesirable, including immigrants, homosexuals, and people of alternative religions.

Evey Hammond is the daughter of activists who died in prison and her brother was killed in the St Mary's school terrorist attack fourteen years earlier. One evening a Guy Fawkes masked vigilante, "V", rescues her from assault by the secret police and has her witness as his bombs destroy the Old Bailey. On November 5, V hijacks the state-run television network to address the nation, claiming credit for the attack and encouraging the populace to resist Norsefire by joining him outside the Houses of Parliament on Guy Fawkes Night in one year's time. Evey is knocked unconscious aiding V's escape and he takes her with him to avoid her arrest and likely execution.

It's a pretty good movie.

...actually like it better than the comic, because I'm an evil heathen.

Good film. Some really powerful stuff in there.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I've seen it but I thought it was a bit ridiculous with the mask and all that. Sort of cartoony and difficult to follow, sort of boring.

It seems to have a deep message but I couldn't pay attention, maybe I'll give it another try some time. It seems well liked.
