Remember, remember the 5th of November.

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are honored to be joined by V for Vendetta director, James McTeigue, to react to his movie! They talk about V’s motivations to ignite a revolution, and they analyze his treatment of Evey. Jonathan explains why what V does it not therapy but is therapeutic. Alan and James praise Hugo Weaving’s legendary faceless performance as well as Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman’s immediate chemistry, even in the toughest scenes. They discuss fascism, brainwashing, and what it means for people to live free and love free, and they reflect on how prescient this movie was when it came out and still is today.

Great episode. It's one of my top favourite movies. It has message, politics, action, romance, detective story and it all works really well. Also IMHO it's much much much better than original comic book which is more about anarchy than about freedom. I disagree a bit about Evey being brainwashed. Even on beggining she shows she is against regime. But she is afraid to show it because of what happened to her and her parents and V helps her with that, I don't think her general political views and morale changes only her willingness to fight for it. She wouldn't have problem with Dietrich being gay on the beggining as well imho. I love Stephen Fry in Hobbit, Blackadder, Sherlock Holmes and pretty much everything but this is probably my favourite role of Stephen Fry.

:O I can't believe the studio suits wanted to cut out the love story. I felt the same way, that this is the part of this movie that stuck with me through out my life. It influenced me to come out in high school as bisesxual. The sentiment of line for "three years I had roses," is for 3 years I had real love. That continues to guide me throughout my life. When life sucks and things that are supposed to make my life better don't and do the opposite. I remember that happiness is a decision and she was happy and grateful for those three years when they were happening because she made the conscious choice to. When my grandmother was dying of cancer and I got to know some of her life experiences including 10 years of miscarriages. When I asked her, was it worth it. She said yes because I got to hold my babies.
