V for vivacious

I have to rant a bit: Just because a film does not take place in an American-speaking land doesn't make it awful. Thank God that I watched foreign films before seeing this movie. I had far exceeded the "American dialect only" regime to be able to see the true genius behind this film. So, in lieu of committing a V-like violence (heh, made a funny), I decided to be real on this one. Boos to those that complained about the English/British accents. It only makes sense (that the movie has to have them) seeing that this film takes place in *London*. Cheers to those that understand that the story is really about America, but using the fact of blowing up a certain English sacred hall instead of the terrifying American one. After reading the comic, I loved the adaptations made and enjoyed the scenes between V and Natalie Portman's character. I especially loved her show of strength in the imprisonment scenes and V's sensitivity towards the end parts (not wanting to be alone makes him very human and less monstrous). But, out of all the outcasts that were prosecuted in the new London reign, which type was V? The answer may shock you (or not). 4 stars Wachowski brothers. Rock on!
