I just watched V for Vendetta again. It strikes a nerve.

I think anyone living through the last 6 years who isn't completely brainwashed by Bush propaganda "gets" it. What an incredibly powerful movie. Everytime I watch it, I cry when V gets killed.

It's certainly scary that our country seems to be so close to the country that V is forced to fight against. Sometimes I sit and wonder what's happened to the America I remember. That makes me want to cry, too.

If you had asked me before Bush took office if the things I've seen since could have ever happened in America, I would have said no and thought you were crazy for suggesting it could.

What's happened to our country? What kind of people could orchestrate and allow these things to happen?

1. A great video

I dont have the link, but go to youtube and search for 9/11 v for vendetta. It's a speech from V cut with scenes from *'s admin's greatest hits.

2. Punishment Park

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067633/

Peter Watkins movie "Punishment Park", though made in 1971 - seriously cuts close to the bone in what it has to say.

3. You can never watch V for Vendetta too many times.

A very good cautionary tale, very close to reality. A very good movie.

6. What are we being sold?

I like the film 'V' as well, even have one of those masques, if the photo opportunity
should ever present itself, v'lll be ready :-)

That film capatures a narrative i'm most familiar with, that of 'v' any DU writer over
the past few years can't help to identify slightly with V, for the opposition we've faced
here and elsewhere for being right about adam sutcliffe.

So, they zipped up years of my life in to a thoughtful shakespearean character, who
tragically uses the tube when he should have used a taxi.

And after a bout of tears, i'm left with my spirit sold out to the clever wachowski brothers,
a slick matrix of script writing, and the real is surplanted by the simulacrum of the genetic map.

7. John Hurt did a great job as the fascist leader.

It really had to remind him of making the movie version of "1984".
