V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta

"Remember,remember,the fifth of November.
Gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot..."

--- "V"


I am now going to proclaim my love for someone else now.Or rather,my utmost admiration.I cannot help it,nor was Corinna able to resist the temptation to love him.Are you ready for the name?

Drumroll.

And man,the one and only.

V.

Seriously man,if you watched the movie,you would understand why i have so much respect for this comic book character.In fact,right after the movie i went to Kinokuniya to pick up the original graphic novel for V for Vendetta.It was great,absolutely brilliant.

Two scenes in particular,i found particularly awesome.At the beginning,Natalie Portman's character,Evey,stayed out on the street after a curfew.Unfortunately,she ran into some police of some kind,and was about to be violated when a masked man came to the rescue.It was V,the masked hero of the movie.After whacking a couple of guys and throwing them against the walls,one of them made a run for it.V caught him by the collar and pulled him to his face.Scared,he uttered under his breath,"Oh please,mercy!"

Then V,with his oh-so-sexy voice replied.

"Oh,not tonight."

Then,at the very end of the movie,V was surrounded by a bunch of cops.He challenged the cops,saying that he would let them fire all the rounds in their magazines till they are gone.Then,by the time they reload he wouldve killed all of them.So,upon command the cops fired upon V with a wave of bullets.V took all of them,and staggered at the very end of it.

Then,with a soft chuckled he stood up,and replied.

"My turn."

Two knives shot out from his right hand,and out they flew towards two cops and sliced their throats.

HOLY SHIT,that was BRILLIANT!

Anyway,the story is really about revolutions,the spirit and power of ideas being immortal and invincible.After the film,you really start to question a lot of things.Like,if our government are hiding anything from us,beyond this big bubble created by them,perhaps there is a darker side of things hidden to us.Or,if terrorism is not exactly an act of terror,but merely a perspective?

Just questions,that i thought of on the way home while i flipped through the comic.Very impressive movie i must say,and Natalie Portman was hot as usual,even though she was bald half the time.Oh well,she is one of those actor/actresses who still can look great without their hair.Another actor is the dude who plays Lex Luther in Smallville.I think he looks great without hair,and also Andre Agassi.I know he is not an actor but,ive seen him with hair and hell,he looked like crap.

Anyway,met up with Ahmad and Lynette after the movie.We introduced ourselves as Sharon and Raul,alias Ramon or simply as "W".Corinna and I planned on a scheme to plant TNTs under the foundations of NYJC,then blowing it up into oblivion.We even wanted to set fireworks that would explode into capital "C" and "W" in the sky.

How bloody poetic would that be,eh?

Had dinner at Swensens,and that was great.We did more talking than we actually ate,and Ahmad was particular quiet today.Probably because of the presence of Lynette.Haha.That is my guess,anyway.We drank a hell lot of water,and started laughing hysterically afterwards.We figured there mustve been something added to the water that made the customers laugh uncontrollably.But oh well,we had a good time.Thanks for the company.

And freedom forever!
