Has anyone seen V for Vendetta
#21
My wife and I were so .....in awe... for lack of a better word that we didnt say anything for the 15 minute car ride home after we saw it. Very VerY good movie. It makes you question everything going on around you and not in a slanted one minded way but in an open educational way.

just so you know, theres a book called "1984"
I hate reading, but this book is amazing, it was written long before the 1980's and foresaw the year 1984 as the future.
It basically coined the terms "big brother" and "self war" which involves a the government being big brother, and the govt causing self war (for ex. attacking itself, to create a sense of unity within the country)... wow... amazing how true this could all be. Anyway, take it from someone who doesnt like reading novels, this is WELL worth the read... and you hear references to it ALL the time. V for Vendetta is def. 1984-esque

George Orwell's 1984 IS amazing..
also check out "Farenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.. There is a scene between Natalie Portman and the TV station Co worker (that takes place in his house) that really reminded me of that book.

my favourite part about the movie is that they cast John Hurt to play Chancellor Sutler. For those of you that don't know, Hurt played Winston in Nineteen Eighty Four. Those of you that have read the book/seen the movie can see the irony in that.
