I just saw <i>V for Vendetta</i> again with some family. It was interesting to see how they reacted to it. Mom thought they were a bit "heavy handed" with the message and my grandmother seemed to write it off as partisan propaganda. What's funny is how <b>closely</b> they actually stuck to the original comic book. While parts of the movie obviously were meant to point to our current situation (the right-wing mouth piece was found with tons of medicine... Limbaugh much?), most of the story is exactly ripped from the pages of the comic. I think that so many conservatives are upset by this movie has less to do with the Wachowski bros storytelling and more to do with Bush's actual policies. Sometimes the truth hurts. If this movie didn't tap into what's wrong with this country conservatives would eat it up as a great action flick. But because so much of it really does speak to what's wrong with Bush and America these days it obviously offends them.

But I definitely understand why it was postponed after the bombings in England last year. The one thing that annoyed me though was Natalie Portmans English accent lisp.
