V for Vendetta

Well now that I finally [*koff* cheap bastard waited till he could find a secondhand copy *koff*] got this flick on DVD I can OD on it.

Over the weekend I watched it three times -- twice with the kids and once on me tod. Every time I catch more things in it, more levels of meaning, more details that pull it together into a coherent statement. Yes I know there are still some holes in it, but I love it anyhoo. It gets me all wibbly sometimes, even....

I'll even go so far as to say it reaches me and works for me in ways that the graphic novel did not. So take that, Alan ya purist... ;P

I agree with your assessment. The story did, indeed, work well in the cinematic interpretation, without taking any fanfare away from the original material. The glories of technology permit frequent repetition of such delights and all from the local video establishment.

And now I must go, as duty calls.
