V for Vendetta

Current Mood:

Steve and I watched V for Vendetta on Sunday. What an AWESOME film :-)! I absolutely LOVED it. My favorite thing about it was that there were so many references (and parallels) made to The Count of Monte Cristo, which is one of my favorite classic stories.

Hugo Weaving did an EXCELLENT job portraying the role. You couldn't see his facial expressions, but he was able to give emotion to the character simply by the way he moved, by the way he tilted his head.

I also loved the actual V character. In case you're wondering, that's a Guy Fawkes mask he's wearing. He's smart, cultured, sensitive, suave, a great cook (I loved that he wore a *floral* apron when he was cooking breakfast for Natalie Portman--no machismo complex whatsoever :-). The dishtowel flung over his shoulder was a great touch :-)).

And yes, he's actually *straight* :-).

I searched the Web for how he introduced himself to Natalie Portman's character: it was just WAY too cool :-).

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished; a vital voice once venerated, now vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation now stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violent, vicious, and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and virtuous. Yet verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my great honor to meet you, and you may call me V."

I SO can't wait for the DVD to come out :-).
