Now the downside. The sad truth is that this film raises a ton of interesting talking points that will never be brought up by the average viewer. Most people will leave the film remembering the explosions and the action sequences and not the particularly biting social commentary. It's a sort of "1984" meets comic book weirdness in a word that practically mirrors the one we're living in without stepping all over it. This WILL be the future...it's just a matter of when.

exactly

I also found it interesting that so many people love the V character but you know he is in every sense a terrorist. But it's ok! you know?

It's ok to be a terrorist as long as you do it for an ideal that we americans can relate to.

but god forbid it be for a culture we don't understand
