Geez, how to tackle this question. Do I answer categorically or simply? *huff*
The revolutionary in me loves this movie:
It's a film that I just love so much not just for the obvious reasons that standing up against injustice and infamous tyrants is a theme that resonates with many people, but because the supposed "hero" (or "heroes") of this film are so antihero. Evey is a woman that sees the problems of society, but out of fear chooses to ignore the issues until she is forced to face them by external forces and, as a result, she is completely transformed as a person. V is almost like a villain-hero. He murders people and terrifies many more, and he doesn't so much care about helping society as he does getting revenge on the people that destroyed his life.
In short, I like that the story doesn't cast heroes in a perfect light and what sort of complexities play out as a result of each persons past.
The kid in me adores this movie:
Maybe not everyone had this kind of childhood, but I definitely did (at least, in the sense of imagination). It was a lot of fun to watch how the boy's imagination was explored and what the commentary of the movie was on the significance of a child engaging in the act of imaginary play. I cry every time I watch it, no lie.
You don't need an explanation for this one. If you do then...no.
I'm going to have to stop myself here, otherwise I'll just go on and on and on.
Have a nice day everybody!
