V for Vendetta

The wife and I went on a little date last night and saw V for Vendetta, based on the comic story by the writer who does not wish to be associated with the movie which is unfortunate because the film was quite good. Anyone expecting blockbuster action will be disappointed; it is more of a psychological drama. My wife was surprised to learn that the original story is more than twenty years old, despite the seeming parallels to more recent history. Perhaps it is simply an observation on how some things never change.
