What problems did you see in V for Vendetta?

Honestly, I liked both the graphic novel and the movie for the most part. Problems that I saw didn’t “ruin” anything for me, but I know others thought they were bothersome.

1) Moore is a Left-wing anarchist. His politics are not Conservative.
2) He slipped in persecution of homosexuals as one of the great acts of Oppression.
3) A fairly important character is killed for the crime of owning a Koran (and for being homosexual).
4) One of the Oppressors is a hypocrite — a man of the Church who likes little girls.
5) V straight up tortures Evey to test her loyalty, and she doesn’t seem to mind.
6) I saw the depiction of the Oppressive Big Brother Government and it screamed “socialist tyranny” to me but it was really clear that the scream I was SUPPOSED to hear was “rightwing Christian Oppression”.

My memory might not be perfect (it’s been several years) but these are some of the things that I thought missed the mark. The story could have just as easily been told as a Tyrannical society run by do-gooders and social justice warriors oppressing anyone who is Normal or Deplorable. I think that would have been a more realistic depiction of where we are today. But the author wanted to push Christians as the bad guys instead.
