mystique posted it..and the voice in the preview said stuff about being afraid of the government yadda yadda. considering it was based on a comic book, im guessing they used the "city under martial law" from the comics (i never read them..didnt even know it was a comic)..which was probably made before the bad evil bush was in office. BUT, i guess if u need another thing to light ur fire of self worth then more power to you.

Not sure if ill see it

No no religious undertone. But it is about government oppression using fear and terrorist attacks to enslave the people. And its in the future in England....wait to you see what they say about the US 20 years from now.....

Good movie. Not overly political it was good. Reminded me of equilibrium.

It probably reminded you of Equilibrium because the V for Vendetta book\'s (and subsequently movie) setting is inspired by 1984, and Equilibrium is a "take" on 1984.

Lots of things have been influenced by "1984."  I thought Equilibrium bore a greater resemblence to "Fahrenheit 451," but that of course was first published a few years after 1984.

I\'ve read the graphic novel, and I\'m looking forward to the movie.  I wonder how much of the story will be ported over in full.  Alan Moore cited the following influences writing V:

Quote
Orwell.  Huxley.  Thomas Disch.  Judge Dredd.  Harlan Ellison\'s "Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman," "Catman" and "Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World" also by Ellison.  Dr. Phibes and Theatre of Blood.  David Bowie.  The Shadow.  Nightraven.  Batman.  Fahrenheit 451  The writings of the New Worlds school of science fiction.  Max Ernst\'s painting "Europe After the Rains."  Thomas Pynchon.  The atmosphere of Second World War films.  The Prisoner.  Robin Hood.  Dick Turpin.

The first trailer made it look absolutely awful. I saw a recent trailer a couple of days ago and it looked slighty less awful. But only slightly. I think I\'ll wait for DVD...
