I just saw V for Vendetta for the first time-how come nobody told me

[jhrobbins]

how timely and right this movie is?

[summer borealis]

1. Oooooh, great flick.

I saw it twice ... actually because someone here rexed it.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Wasn't it wonderful!!!???

[Downtown Hound]

3. Eh? There were many threads on DU about this wonderful movie

Where were you? Out playing revolutionary again were you? :P

[Aqaba]

4. It's one of my faves

[villager]

6. You mean, how come nobody *outside of DU*, that is?

;-)

7. Here is my tattoo on my upper right arm:

..........FREEDOM

..........FOREVER

It doesn't have the dots, but I used them to move the words over. The logo itself is probably 3 inches high.

[Regret My New Name]

9. VREEDOM VOREVER?

That seems to make more sense.

[elocs]

10. "Freedom Forever" is a line straight from the movie, which is why I used it. n/t

8. you are just now watching it?

12. I'm housebound and had to wait for it to come on TV

[Night_Nurse]

13. remember, remember the 5th of November...

[tucsonlib]

15. Not to Belabor the Obvious...

but, of course, this year that happens to be the day after our election. And if McCain should "win", and millions of outraged Americans descend upon Washington, the movie may be hailed by future generations as an amazingly prescient piece of film making.

[Downtown Hound]

22. Wow, I just realized that it's the day after Obama wins...

How utterly weird is that? November 4th, we act. November 5th, we celebrate our new freedom!

[Wetzelbill]

14. It's not something that automatically comes up

But yeah when it first came out I heard quite a bit about how timely it is. :)

16. I just saw it on Netflix a week or two ago

LOTS of parallels to our current situation. I'm sure that's no accident.

But there were plenty of threads about it on DU when it was in theaters.

23. The similarities to what is going on with Bush

are the reason that Moore hated the movie. The original comic is great and is more British in it's commentary on government run crazy. He did not like that it was in essence dumbed down and made an anti-Bush project. I tend to agree with him and like his original much better. Matter of fact, I think I'm going to reread it again tomorrow.

17. When I saw it at the Metreon IMAX Theater in San Francisco

When V says the line "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people" the entire audience cheered with fists pumping in the air for full minute. Admittedly, this is one of the bluest parts of this Blue State, but it was so gratifying to see.

18. Wow, I was late to the party on this thread.

It came up blank so I thought it was brand new! Sorry for the bump.

Also, remember, remember...

[a la izquierda]

19. Watched it again the other day, for about the 10th time.

What a great movie.

[GreenEyedLefty]

20. I just saw it for the first time recently, too.

It's definitely a movie the RW doesn't want you to see.

[Fearless]

21. Phenomenal movie... I got to see it in theaters... I wouldn't have missed it.

[OwnedByFerrets]

24. Kicking in case anyone has missed out on this special movie.
