V for Vendetta – always good, now scary

Rewatched V for Vendetta today, as is tradition because it’s the 5th of November.I always loved this film and thought it was an excellent story. But given everything that’s happened over the last few years, with the rise of the authoritarian right and especially a deadly virus killing tens of thousands, it hits a lot harder. Feels like the government in the film could have happened last election, or could still on the next one, if the people involved were just a little smarter and more ruthless.Anyone else feeling this?Also, the montage/narration/monologue scenes are all incredibly well done.Edit: funny to see all these brigadey comments assuming I’m talking about the USA and American elections in a discussion about a film about UK government. I’m a Canadian thinking about Brexit government and mirrors in Canadian politics, not everything is about the USA via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3bJDR4r
