v for vengeance, v for vendetta

i fell asleep and woke up with v for vendetta running in my mind... watched it yesterday with my two beloved cousins, namely jR and wincen :)

i loved every single part of the movie... it had the kind of script i want to be involved with someday... i want to write scripts like that. i want to bring out the effect v for vendetta had over the audience. i am just completely in awe with the film. i love the way v speaks - his intelligence, his being an artist and a literary (poet and writer) person in one. the way he moves and fights, simply just his appearance makes the crowd go gaga over him. the accent in his voice, the words he uses... such perfection. and yes, i have to agree wtih wilson lee flores about v being the perfect man if not for his selfish motive to seek revenge for what certain people did to him. but then again, he had a point, esp. with the government issues and how he and his fellow mates were tortured.

natalie portman gave a hands down performance as well. she fitted her role to a T. i could also feel her fear and anxiety, her want to break free, her hesitation... her role as evey hammond. the inspector had an important role in the movie too. the instinct and the gift of feeling was given much importance in his character. intuition can bring you to the bottom of things; it can help you resolve wrongdoings. sometimes, intuition is better and more important than facts and reason.

i do amit that i am not a big fan of politics and that the topic on the Nazis did not excite me as much as i should be, but how politics was delivered in the film made a whole lot of sense to me. also, every film certainly has to have a touch of love in it. in this case, v and evey... they could have been together if only...being a hopeless romantic, they could've had ways to stay together. but as a realistic person, it was the perfect ending the film could have. and i loved it.

plus, vendetta means a prolonged bitter quarrel with someone or a prolonged feud between families in which people are murdered in return for previous murders. now that explains the whole movie and it's title. V is the name. V stands for a lot of things. But here, V is for vengeance. V is for vendetta.
