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.
