[movies] V for Vendetta

[escritoireazul]

I'm finally watching V for Vendetta (I've only had it from Netflix for almost two months now), and I'm glad I finally did. I really like it, and, unsurprisingly, it has reminded me of my belief that sometimes the only way to change things is through a revolution.

(Violence is a dangerous, heady, addictive thing.)

I hate to resort to cliches, but the comic really is better. Certainly more nuanced in all its aspects, from plot to character development to political philosophy. And as far as I'm concerned, more realistic :)

I love the film though the book is a bit better though I think the film does an incredibly fine job.

I'm one of the few who liked the film much, much better than the graphic novel. The film was less crackalicious, I liked better how it turned out in the end, and I think overall the film was just better suited to what's going on in the world today (just like the GN was suited to the early 80s).

But then again, I hate Vertigo's publications deeply, so maybe it's not surprising I didn't like the GN. :)
