In "V: For Vendetta," the Hollywood Far Left's paranoid fantasies are vividly brought to life on film. All that's missing is the Halliburton connection. In Hollywood's twisted world view, its conservatives who inflict catastrophe upon America and Christians who would consign women and Muslims to the Dark Ages. The real world of course is different. But don't let that or Hollywood penchant for sidling up to real world ghouls distract you from watching V. After all every one knows President Bush is the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler and Halliburton seeks to raze the earth's remaining green acres to transform it into a concrete jungle. Resistance by any means to these ghouls, in Hollywood's movie take on our present day situation is justified, including terrorism. The Hollywood Left has not made a movie condemning Islamist terror so the point doesn't have to be driven home that its our society it loathes. And as Don Feder informs us, Hollywood has much credibility sermonizing to us on the evils of tyranny as Ted Kennedy does on drunk driving, Bill Clinton on marital fidelity and Robert Downey Jr. on a drug-free America.

Well, my opinon of Natalie Portman just collapsed about 50 notches. I believe this also got top marks at the box office, didn't it?

This sickens me.

[SIDENET]

Just more crap from Bizarro World. They won't be getting any of my money for this garbage.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

I noticed that cross in the previews. Then I decided no way was I going to see this movie.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

In the title it should read "V is for Vile". Are these people really that stupid or are they really trying to spread lies and create another communist nation. I really think Jane Fonda is a spawn of Satan. When she started lying about are troops during Vietnam, Things started spiraling downward. These idiots should be shot for treason. I am really scared for the youth of today, cause they put more emphasis on what these entertainment yahoos talk or sing about then what their own parents teach them.

The author of the comic book series, Alan Moore, has disavowed this film and refuses to take money from the proceeds.

And one more thing we would be alot worse of if we weren't blessed with Pres. Reagan

[truemiester]

the party’s slogan is "Allah Aakabar".

This is supposed to Britian in 2020 isn't it?

I am *so* happy to have read this article before possibly having supported this film with my dollars.

There are many (neo?)conserviatives here who think one should view a movie (support it with their dollars) before passing judgement. I always considered this logic to be tragically flawed and self-defeating.

"The movie projects the 17th century Englishman as a prototypical freedom fighter. In reality, Fawkes was a Catholic conspirator who tried to murder James I and most of Britain’s nobility by attempting to blow up Parliament in the famous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. His objective wasn’t constitutional democracy but a return to Catholic rule. But, then, Hollywood never did have much of a sense of history."

Today's left has echoes of that plot.

Look at it this way. What is one of the cases where the freedom of political speech should be denied? When someone wishes to use it to end yours. Period.

In a similar way, the English back then, who had been turning way from Catholicism, and more importantly, it's political regime, had to take steps to root out the old regimes political operatives. They faced being rolled back, and their freedom and liberty being taken away. Some people, anglo Catholics like Fawkes, suffered because of this.

So what was the Gunpower Plot, something leftists look back at fondly? An example of the real "rightwing" trying to get territory back. To me, that sums up what todays Left is about. They want to go back to the old Empire, just without its formal Catholicism. No thanks!

Hollyweird strikes again

[tcrlaf]

***In the England of "V," free speech has been crushed. Conformity is ruthlessly enforced. Dissidents and non-conformists are hunted down and eliminated. Torture is a routine. Medical experiments are performed on undesirables. And "1984" indoctrination is ubiquitous.****

WOW! Sounds like Liberal Utopia!
Does Air Britain rob Children's Charities, too???

How about a movie (circa 2040) where Britain is ruled by Muslims and its (native) citizens are forced to live under the Sharia? You won't ever see that one, although it looks ever more likely every day. No, the boggyman will always be the conservative Christian who resorts to fascism to impose his will and morality on everyone else. You can argue that it happened once, although I'd hesitate to call Nazi Germany "Christian". The real agenda is to convince the masses that conservatives are the real villians. Only then will the way be paved for the Other to take over. Then Hollywood will find out what tyranny really is. Of course, those "courageous" liberals will be the first to lick the boots of their new masters.

[Wormwood]

The central mesage of V is simply this: "People should not fear the government, government should fear the people"

Flawed film or not, that is something we should *all* agree on.

[Unam Sanctam]

I dare Hollywood to produce a similar movie with Moslems instead of Christians as the bad guys...

[Fintan]

On the bright side, at least it'll keep the DUmmies busy panhandling so they can see the movie.

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."

That is pretty dang funny, considering that atheism is a cornerstone of Communism.

[billbears]

Saw it this weekend. Probably the most powerful anti-state movie I have ever seen. Conservatives will be able to see past aspects of the movie and see the underlying lessons ("People shouldn’t fear their government. Governments should fear their people."). It has nothing to do with the 'left' or the 'right'. Yes the 'right' is attacked in this movie but the underlying idea is that no party for any reason should have this level of control. Safety is valued more than freedom. Party faithful OTOH will never see the movie and yet complain about it endlessly

[redheadtoo]

For all of its pretensions this movie sounds like another Hollywood mad-slasher in a mask movie. Stand aside Jason a new cold blooded killer is in town.

[dljordan]

I liked the movie, especially the part where "Dear Leader" gets whacked.
