I am shocked by how terribly distorted V for Vendetta and the Remember Remember poem has become. How an inherently revolutionary movie and event, with organized violence as it’s modem for change, can be misconstrued into an American liberal battle cry to “GET OUT AND VOOOOTEEEE” is beyond me.
*edit - I’ll probably rewatch the movie and read the comic soon just to see if it holds up, as I’m hearing some solid criticisms from the comments below. I didn’t mean this to be a pro V for Vendetta post where I fetishize the movie, more just saying it’s very clearly a revolutionary film (even if it’s method in bringing about revolution is trash) and liberals still found a way to make it about voting and operating under the rules they are given in this system. That’s all :)
I remember the scene where a cop kills a citizen (maybe even a child). They surround him and beat him to death. You don’t see that too often in mainstream movies.
Definitely not. I just know it’s openly revolutionary (regardless of the method, I am hearing feedback on my post recalling poor revolutionary practice in the movie but I don’t really remember it all) and liberals STILL find a way to make it about operating within the system they’re given and VOOOOTING. Lol
