V was fabulous. It demonstrates time and again how to cdeal with authoritarian, psuedo-moral bullies. Stand up to them.

I agree. While it is true that the author, Alan Moore, is a left-wing anarchist and a bit of a nutcase, the central message of the graphic novel and the movie is solid -- governments are inherently oppressive. Giving too much power to politicians is always a mistake. Moore is afraid of "right-wing Christians" and I think he is silly to feel that way. I am afraid of "left-wing atheists" and I have lots of historical data to support my fears.

As a right-wing Christian, I see the central message of "V for Vendetta" transcending the weird politics of its author, and I see it as a message that I support. I'm very surprised that China showed the movie on TV.

The movie was ok... The graphic novel better.

It should be required reading.
