Watch this clip! It's short.

It's a warning for US about our own future!

I never saw this movie -- it sure seems to be a truth-teller, though the truth probably went over the heads of most people.

It looks good BUT when you look further into it, it seems to have an unsavory agenda.

I found this on IMDB.com:

Quote

Sex & Nudity
EditHistory

There are a few brief shots of showgirls who appear to be wearing thongs.

A group of men attack a woman, and its implied that they plan to rape her

We see a very brief shot of a woman getting dressed.

Two woman share a passionate kiss, and its implied they are lesbians.

There are a few pictures that show ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ sex scenes (they are shown very briefly, and you don't get to really see them as they are off in the background).

A Bishop is a pedophile who loves to "play games" with children.

It's not one I'd like my younger brothers to watch, due to these scenes. I gave it a miss myself.

Just to add: I'm not rubbishing the fact that it probably tells some very pertinent truths, Chant. Just warning you in advance about the possible iffy content :)

I didn't know there was that kind of content in the movie. Thanks for letting us know.

Maybe it's best to just watch the "speech" I posted.

Thanks for the warning. I do want to see this, however probably never will because there is always someone else in the room I am by the t.v.
Chant , you are correct. I want to see this movie simply because it is so telling of what is coming. The way the news sounds today I will actually live the movie before I see it. Is there a book to read?

There is a comic book but I never read it so I dont know if its better than the movie. All I know is that V's costume in the movie is alot cooler than the one he has in the comic.

I bought the DVD of V for Vendetta once... I just loved it, (except for those scenes which Adesto listed above, which is why I returned it), because of V's anti-socialist philosophy and his one man war against the goverment and how he starts a revolution among the citizens of London against the neo-con state.

They really need to come out with an amended or edited version of the movie... if they did I think more people would be able to enjoy and appreciate it.

Two good futuristic distopias are Farenheit 451 and Equilibrium. The former was a '70s flick, the latter only a few years old and starring Christian Bale. Equilibrium draws some thematic elements from F451 and 1984 but is an excellent film in its own right.

Equilibrium is the best science fiction movie to come out in the last 20 years!

:cheers: I agree!

Much better than I, Robot or that dreadful Minority Report, both of which were decent books and could have been great films, given the right director/actors.

Are you British, btw? Just asking because of your "flag."

sedetrad · « **Reply #9 on:** October 22, 2008, 04:36:12 PM »

No, I don't know why I have a british flag. I must have done something by accident. The movie I would say that comes in as second best scifi in 20 years would be Pitch Black. I give it a second but equlibrium is leagues ahead.
