Gunpowder Treason
Nov. 6th, 2021 01:35 amIt is the fifth of November, and as I am wont to do (when circumstances align) I watched V for Vendetta. Tuesday had never seen it, so that was a nice excuse, even though I don't _really_ need excuses for this one.
As I told her just now, it's probably the second best of the movies I list among my favourites, in terms of sheer cinematography and artistry. Beat out by Mad Max: Fury Road, of course, because that movie is a fucking masterpiece, but most of the other movies I list among my favourites are only varying degrees of "actually good".
Because I was watching it with someone, I didn't commentate, but if you read my twitter threads from 2018 or 2019 you get a pretty good idea of what I'd say. (Quite literally --I reread them just now and pointed out the bits I said aloud to Tuesday). Spoilers throughout, and in the rest of this post.
( The only verdict is vengeance )
