V for Vendetta

What an utterly fascinating film! This movie was highly complex but very interesting all the while. There were aspects that were hard to follow and some questions that did not have easily determined answers. I attribute this however to the mere fact that we watched the movie over the course of several days and perhaps because I have only seen it once (in that manner). This movie provoked in me an element of paranoia. I have seen a few films and read a few books about totalitarian governments of the future and the destruction they impart upon the people, but this film by far stirred the most within me. After seeing this film I felt perhaps that many actions of our own government are just an evil plan to acquire what they want with minimal concern for our countries inhabitants. Aside from this pang of paranoia, I enjoyed the comical elements mixed in with the serious, sometimes rather dreadful scenes. Most comedy came from V in peculiar ways. There were certainly some elements of dark comedy through out the course of this film. I do not feel like this movie was a profound unearthing of much of anything, and I'm funny in that way that I often look for that. Despite my thoughts on it lacking a profound determination of anything, I did enjoy this film, I really certainly did. But I suppose because I always look for the profound element in anything I tend to be unsatisfied when I cannot find it. This is of course not necessary in anything, but a mere desire of my own. The plot of this film was interesting but it was not steeped with artistic elements as I often enjoy in the films I watch. It seems apparent that I cannot simply enjoy a movie. I always need to have a purpose for seeing it, I always need to learn something. I guess I did learn something in V for Vendetta and that is how vunderable I am and how easily influenced I am by most anything. I could not end this blog entry with once again reaffrming my like for this movie, it was simply just not what I tend to prefer.
