SlickSlider Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 ****SPOILER****my favorite quote, what makes this especially exquisite is his english accent. such a beautiful word playV: 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 it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à -vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.*****SPOILER******Try saying that 3 times fast. I can't say it one time slow. I found a clip of that quote here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc_oJxfQtoc&search=V%20for%20vendettaAnother one of my favorite quotes was "Who was he?""He was my father, he was my mother, he was my brother, he was you, he was me, he was all of us."Oh my fucking God, what a movie. It has been years since I'd walked out of a theater nearly breathless. I need to see it again ASAP. Natalie Portman delivered the best performance of her entire career. Hugo Weaving gave one of his greatest performances, even though you never see his face the entire film. At first it's troubling to find you have to accept the concept of terrorism to identify with the main character, until you learn that this future state is closer to Nazi Germany than any modern day goverment. I don't share the views of those who say that this poked at Bush and current day British politics; I didn't see it (though I am not versed on British politics at all I must say) like that. I have heard that it is very close to the graphic novel on which it is based (which I have yet to read). But if you have not read the graphic novel, and you think you know how this film ends by the previews and early viewing intuition, you find yourself quite surprised by not only how the film ends, but by how it has made you feel by the last frame. (and in fact I have learned that the film ends differently from the graphic novel as well.)I have been sick all week with some kind of nasty virus or flu or something that I can't shake off, and Saturday was the first day in 5 that I felt well enough to shower and shave (and God did I feel and smell nasty) and venture out of the house to grab a human breakfast and catch this movie finally. To be honest, if I hadn't felt so lousy again today, I would have seen this film again making it 2 days in a row for me. I can't wait to see it again, it was that riveting.

SlickSlider Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 fell asleep during the first fifteen minutes...I have fallen asleep during good films, due to how little I do sleep (3-4 hours a night sometimes, sick) and it catching up on me in a dark theater. You've always been open minded toward so many topics I don't believe it didn't capture your interest if you weren't fatigued when you went in. Unless you were being figurative.

I'm assuming "yes" because I still can't find it for less than 18 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
