"Remember Remember the Fifth of November."

One of the most important films of 2006 is, by far, V for Vendetta. It is an intense film about a fascist government and those who are ready to take it over, especially "mysterious masked vigilante" who goes by the name of "V" (played by Hugo Weaving) and his accidental accomplice, Evey (played by Natalie Portman), and return it back to the way it was before. Adapted from a comic book by the same name, the film yields many differences.

“The film shows liberalism rising up against fascism; Moore's vision offered anarchy as a counter to fascism. On the big screen, V for Vendetta says "We can take the system back!" On the page, the suggestion is that there's nothing in the system worth having.”

This was taken from this website which spews both similarities and differences to the comic book and the Wachowski Brothers “The Matrix.”

The review is great for those who enjoyed the movie, and for those who may not have fully understood the movie.
