[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'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. :)

I'm sure I'll like the graphic novel, too, but I really like the way the film was updated to suit what's going on in the world today. That was one of the parts I liked most, so I kind of wish I'd read the story first, because now I worry I won't like it as much as I could have if I would have gone into it clean.

(I usually find it easier to like a movie after I've loved a book than to like a book if I love the movie.)
