Review: "V" stands for "Vapid"

Review: "V" stands for "Vapid"

The names of many things start with "V." In fact, one of my FAVORITE things starts with a "V." After watching "V for Vendetta," I felt just like my favorite thing after a wild drunken Saturday night. How is that, you say? Well, my friends, after watching "V" I felt royally f*cked and violated.

This movie is not just bad, it is worse. I am changing the English language to allow the statement "this is a worse movie," for "V" is and will be worse than any movie anyone anywhere might make in the future.

But enough of the name calling -- let's get to the film (without revealing too many plot details). In future England (approximately 2015?), the Government controls the news media, the Koran is outlawed, and homosexuals are wantonly murdered for their sexuality. Terrorists are freedom fighters, military personnel are murderers, and mention is made of the Iraq and Afghani conflicts, as well as new ones in Syria.

In one classic moment of propaganda, a homosexual character shows Natalie Portman his hidden chamber of anti-Government paraphernalia, and we see an anti-war poster. It is the English flag with a swastika in the middle and the words "coalition of the willing" written upon it! Now, where have I seen that phrase before?

In the end, this film is the typical liberal propaganda piece, in which victimhood is taken to new heights. In the world we live in now, the media tries to control our Government (Dan Rather and Ted Turner anyone?) and Muslim terrorists blow up subway stations while the Koran is protected with armed guards. How the current world morphed into one in which the Koran, gays and lesbians are outlawed and the Government controlls the media is beyond me.

Let me tell you all a more interesting and frightening story. In the real future England, taxes are high, Muslims are gaining control, the media is subversive and in control of the Government, Gays and Lesbians are still powerful but wary of the Islamic movement, and the rest of the people are depressed.

I give "V for Victims" four hammer and sicles for propaganda value.
