V for Vendetta

I saw this movie with a few friends and my mum about 2 weeks ago and I was very impressed I must say. Its supposed to be based on a comic book but its not what you'd ever expect from a comic book movie. It has many really interesting ideas like how society can kill a man for a certain unacceptable idea he had, and we end up forgetting this man but never the idea. And how we should always be careful to notice the difference between the things we actually want in comparison to the things that society dictates we should want. Break the chains and free yourself from all the things that were planted in your mind by others. A big quote in the movie is: "People should not be afraid of their Governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." Which sounds pretty logical when you really think about it but the problem is we never really consider this phrase...we are always so afraid of what our governments are capable of and how they can get us into wars or into political problems and because of that we forget that a government is formed by its people and is there to serve its people and not to serve itself. The idea of the film is just very new and it really makes you think...so I highly recommend it to everyone.
