Ed, everyone knows about this already!

Anyways, it's an action movie not a propaganda film. So don't think TOO much into it.

Ed,

It's interesting that you say this because the movie is actually supposed to be a modern day remake of 1984, which is so easy to confuse with the modern day lately that there really is no difference. I have not seen the movie yet but i intend to. And about Anthony's "it's just an action movie" comment: art does exist in hollywood, you just have to look at things a little closer than "just an action movie."

Mario C.

Yes! It does have some heavy "1984" connections.
That is a great book, and has a lot to do with what is happening here today. That is why it is good to see this movie. Because nobody reads! I know kids would rather see a movie than read a George Orwell book, so all I am saying is check it out!

Biafra for president!

I will tell you all.

If enough people actually went out and voted, we wouldn't be dealing with Bush at all.
They are relying on Americans laziness!
All the polls indicate that the MAJORITY of people here do NOT want War or even like Bush.

His approval rating and Congress' is below 34%
Yet they get RE-elected 90% of the time!

This is crazy! It is because no one votes.

It is enough for you to believe that they don't matter.
BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT!
How great is it for them if all the youth in America don't think their vote will count, and do go out and vote?

IF everyone did finally get out and vote AND there was some FOUL PLAY (which has OBVIOUSLY happened in the LAST 2 elections) then the people will RIOT.

And that is what they are afraid of.
WE can take back the country, because there is more of us.

I am from Australia, and do not really understand why your voting participation is so low. I heard the participation % is around 50%. That seems crazy to me. Dont get me wrong, things are not rosey around here, far from it, but by memory i think our participaiont is around 90%. You guys should register, vote and give a damn, because you are the police of the world and your chief sucks.

i saw the movie and it's based on an adaptation of a comic book originally written by Alan Moore (its not an remake of 1984)but as this shows, the whole government taking over civil liberties ain't no new thing (1984, brave new world, etc).The movie was definitely a step in the right direction with movies like goodnight and goodluck and syriana, hollywood is realizing its potential as a voice in our community and a forum for social commentary. Although I think the protagonist's solutions to the problem were a little naive and impractical (if someone killed bush, or any other administration heavy, they'd just be replaced by someone just as bad or possibly worse)and I wonder what the british think of american movies depicting the destruction of their landmarks, especially in view of their recent terrorist attacks.

Very interesting Beartard Fooser!

I wonder how the british will see this movie?

anibal is totally right, we are the police of the world. when a conflict arises, whos there to step in ? the us. but, unfortunately, where were we during the bullshit in rwanda? no where. but when the middle east gets a problem? BAM! were all over it! why? cause its a fucking benefit to those in power! consider this, if youre a fuckin oil tycoon, and theres a situation where if you get involved, youre going to free up tons of oil, and make tons of money. of fucking course youre going to get involved. but when its an issue of moral conflict, such as rwanda, fuck it, because we get nothing. we need an unbiased leader, someone who goes from nothing and rises because of WHO THEY ARE, not because of what there father gave them. the basic problem is this though, yeah its really cool to talk shit about injustice as a teen, but when youre finally able to vote, what do you do? NOTHING! people need to start actually doing something instead of just talking. people get lazy and think they mean nothing when really,one person can do a lot. for fucks sake, look at Martin Luther King jr. what i want to know though, is what we can do as 17 year olds to make a difference since we cant vote?

ED,

I think you should discover something.
hmm...
Vendetta:
n. a feud in which members of the opposing party murder each other.

That sounds nice. Please don't bother. Id rather push my plank and mollify in some crispy wave sliding, than watching V FOR VENDETTA.

Dear "b",

Just to be clear. I have never suggested that anybody take the dictionary definition of the word VENDETTA literally. I would never suggest killing anybody, I don't even eat meat!!!

I am simply suggesting that people get out and vote, and that I liked the movie.

holy shit! toymachine got political on yo' asses

Ed,
Why not? That is what the movie is entitled, correct? Usually,don't the title and work have something in common? Well, i guess before i say anymore i will have to see the movie, then some serious debate will go down. Which is a proficient demeanor in styling an equitable outcome. I am thankful to live in this beautiful country and hope that flowers and pretty rainbows are around the corner. Thank You for your replies Ed, lets contort in some serious wood pushing.

for anybody who is interested in scoping out some of the 9/11 "conspiracy" go to youtube.com and in the search type "revisited" and hit search, scroll down and click on either 9/11 revisited or 9/11 revisited (updated). I haven't seen the updated one but the original is pretty good. Really makes you think.

the updated one is a lot better
