A breathtaking revolutionary film, that ranks among the best films I've seen this year. V's character is brilliantly morally ambiguous and gives rise to so many questions and thoughts that it would be impossible to chronicle them in one blog-post.
Suffice to say, I'm finding it difficult to judge V and whether he was a lunatic or a genius, and it seems that the best answer is that he was on that thin line between genius and insanity. Evey however was an easier character to work out but was just as compelling, and Stephen Fry's character (who seemed much like I imagine Fry to be himself) was also well portrayed.
I particularly liked V's opening monologue full of v words, the fact that even though it went on for two hours, the plot was constantly progressing, and the twist at the end of Evey's captivity was completely impossible to predict.
I did shed a small tear when Evey read the letter in her cell and reached the moment when the writer says "I love you." That was just heartbreaking, as was the kiss between V and Evey at the end of the film.
I could go on, there was just so many good things about this film, but I fear I'm rambling, and so I shall wrap it up with this: A serious contender for No.1.
