It's March and Mark and I have already hit our quota, fitting with the pattern of movie watching in recent years, of "seeing one movie at a movie theater per year" viewing. We had a gift card to use from the holidays and had tried to find something worth going to see a few weeks ago with no luck. But last night, we went to see V for Vendetta and were genuinely surprised at how good it was. We had heard a review of the movie which piqued our interest that had asked how a movie based on a comic book thriller could feel so politically subversive and later stated that it is clearly "blowing raspberries" at the current administration. And you know what, that's an apt description. In the movie there is a government that abolished civil liberties after a terrorist attack. The media only airs the propaganda dished out to them with a favorable spin for the administration, "we only report the news, we don't fabricate it, that's the government's job." Corruption at the highest levels of government and quite a few more memorable quotes that, in a not-so-subtle way, blows those raspberries and pushes a few buttons. Or, put more simply, to quote Mark's mini movie review. "V for Vendetta: Didn't suck."
