<p dir="auto">I rented it last week and just saw it today. Maybe the movie went over my head. It didn't really interest me and I don't know why!<br />
This movie to like #147 on top 250 all time movies.<br />
Why didn't I like it?<br />
This is the movie that all of those anonymous hackers are obsessed with right? What gives?<br />
I also saw "The Machine" today. And I would say The Machine is way better than V of Vendetta.</p>

<p dir="auto">Well it's completely fair to dislike a film, it happens a lot. Just so long as you aren't a dick about it, which you weren't, there's no issue. By all means, dislike the film. I happen to enjoy it but that doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong, it just means we have different taste.</p>

<p dir="auto">I know I'm in the minority here, but like the OP, I also just cannot understand the appeal of this movie. Yes, I'm sure it is partially due to the fact that I have political differences with the message the filmmakers were promoting, but I can respect a movie that promotes a message I disagree with as long as it's done well. It's even better when your message gets through to both sides.<br />
V for Vendetta<br />
felt like a ham-handed excuse to pack in as many trendy, contemporary left-wing causes into the movie as possible, while having a good story felt like a secondary priority. I felt like I was watching a sophomoric rant against the Bush administration, Christians, conservatives, whites and heterosexuals. The preachiness took me completely out of the story and plopped me right back into contemporary politics, something that can completely ruin the whole idea of viewing film as an escape. Only things I liked were the set and costume design and Hugo Weaving's voice. As a cautionary tale about the suffocating evil of a totalitarian State,<br />
1984<br />
was done better and had less contemporary political baggage.<br />
As a side note, I had a similar reaction upon watching<br />
Robocop<br />
for the first time. I was all set for an action-packed sci-fi crime drama but halfway through the movie I was like, "OK, I get it, the filmmakers hate Ronald Reagan. Enough already".<br />
I don't know, perhaps I might have enjoyed both films more had I gone in knowing in advance about the political commentary.</p>

Did they ever explain why Evey was forced to go running around alone in a dangerous part of town after curfew in high heels, other than, "Gosh, it's time for me to get attacked by goons so V can rescue me!"</p>

<p dir="auto">Because I watch world politics.<br />
Right now, the USA are using their puppets ("my" Germany, Baltic states, Ukraine, Sweden etc.) to fuel aggression towards Russia, well knowing that a war - should it remain conventional - will not touch US soil but only devastate central Europe.</p>

<p dir="auto">Sorry for the late reply.<br />
What I mean: The USA are done for. Their economy is falling like a shooting star, and soon it will crash into the ground.<br />
Why do you think the US are drastically fueling all sorts of crisis all over the globe? To provoke wars, because wars are the only thing that could keep their economy barely alive.</p>

<p dir="auto">This is the movie that all of those anonymous hackers are obsessed with right? What gives?<br />
Yes, anarchists and many hackers (the hac-tivist variety) love this.  Because it is an anarchists wet dream.  With action and compelling visuals.<br />
Rise up against the oppressor, throw down the tyranny, etc.  They see the fictional government here as a reference to<br />
Let's face it, Nobody likes being told what to do.  There are bigger forces at work in society that people don't really understand.  Many leading psychologists and sociologists really look at this as a dysfunctional reaction to the modern world, where our individual fates/destinies are dependent on things outside our control.  No kidding, it's been building from the whole 20th century and is not going away.  I wonder if is it's sort of an adolescent cry "it's not fair" because reality does not conform to some ideal- so it's time to act out.<br />
That being said, obviously there are real problems too and I don't mean to over simplify every problem or resistance movement.  But, that's why they love this movie.</p>
