v for vendetta...

Remember, remember the fifth of November

The gunpowder treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

this is the start of the movie... of course there is more... but this is the part i like... if you want the full thing... google it... Guy Fawkes... or the first line... this guy tried to blow up parliment house long ago... but he failed...

{if you have not watched the movie... there are spoilers}

-start of spoliers-

well the movie is heavily laced with political undertones... some are mentioned more bluntly than others... but it seems to highlight one relationship that seemed to be going on well but apparenlty there is much bitterness on one side... it is the relationship between america and britian... in the film... there was this character proclaiming on television that they shouldn't send any more aid to america... and any patriotic brit would do well to throw the wheat heading for america into the sea... akin the boston tea party...

well it seems that the world has taken a turn for the worst... and this apparently is quite an understatment... the middle east war has left america in shambles... britian has problems of her own... there was a massive viral outbreak that killed 80,000... and this was masterminded by the people who wanted to take over... and take over they did... the party they set up was totally religious based... i think their slogan was: unity is our strength, unity through faith... well they have a secret police that arrested all people who are not "normal"... homos, non-christians, anyone who posses "banned" materials... they excuted this guy because he secertly owned a koran... but he's not muslim... but he still appreciates it... they even had a curfew for all... after 11pm till the next day 7am... so the kids here shouldn't be complaining...

-end of spoilers-

and v... he's actually hugo weaving... but you never see his face... but his "agent smith" voice is easily recognizable... the movie was good... itkinda touched on some of the issues that are happening now in the world... like the middle east war... ethnic riots... and there was one thing i felt that they wanted to say was that governments should not rule with or by religious ideology... while most would think they were trying to stick something at the muslim states... but i think they are more likely to be sticking it at bush for regulary peppering his speeches with statements that God would back him up...

v also said something about the people... the people shouldn't fear the government... the government should fear the people... the people hold the power... i think this is going into the sociology exam essay... hahaha...

well there was almost real action in the cinema... there was this guy in the row before us... and he had a phone call and he picked up... and he was speaking quite loudly... we thought he was going to just pick up and then say he'll call back later... but NO... he had his coversation... next to him there was this ang moh... the ang moh was clearly not happy... and he actually threatened the old guy... luckliy the ang moh's girlfriend mangaed to calm him down... no fight... but after the movie... when the lights came on... both parties got a good look at each other... they stared at each other as they moved away... but i think the old man was more freaked out... he actually waited for the ang moh to leave before he got up from his seat...

a little excitement...
