The line been playing in mind since last night after finally getting my hands on a DVD copy of the movie V for Vendetta. I've been looking for this movie for some time now. The reason being... The Wachowski Brothers!
Wachowski Brothers is the guys that gave us The Matrix Trilogy together with Joel Silver. But this time instead of being the directors, they produced V for Vendetta together with Joel Silver. Another reason for me to hunt for this movie is of course Hugo Weaving! One of the best thing that happened to Hollywood after Michael Bay.
Matrix fans would never forget the beloved 'Agent Smith' what with his style of dialogue delivery. I can still remember the way he says 'Welcome back Mr.Anderson' to Neo. And he didn't disappoint as V in this movie. Given the fact that you will never see his face in the movie (he will be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask at all times) reminiscence of The Phantom of the Opera. It was as if the dialogues were written specifically with Hugo in mind although he was not the original actor slated to be V.
But if you are a fan of Wachowskis, be prepared to experience a kind of movie totally different compared to the Matrix. The style and aura that is them is still there but this movie is completely void of the CGI wizardry that made the brothers famous. Here they relied solely on the powerful performance of Hugo as V and Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond. Gone are the flying acts and super human fight scenes and enter human feeling and compassionate pleas.
Overall this is a must see movie if you are a fan of DC Comics ( I am not ONE!) but for neutrals its an interesting way of killing of some spare 2 hours. With the current state of political situation in the world , the idea brought forward in the movie doesn't seems to far fetched, Infact maybe its already happening around us, its just that we are oblivious of it or choose to ignore it.
