V for Vendetta


There is just something about Natalie Portman when she's not smiling that I see Mathilda (and deep inside I'm wishing for a sequel to Leon). The movie, as a whole, was in perfect balance. Even during the rather funny moments that could have spoiled it (i.e. the apron)...it is able to swerve back to the path of seriousness.

I don't know why they didn't pick Hugo Weaving to play the part of V, but I'm glad fate stepped in and put him in the role. Despite a few moments where I almost thought I heard him say "mister anderson!" subconsciously...hehe...I think his voice was perfect behind the mask.

There are several suggestions as to the identity of V, and my guess is that, well...he may have been Ruth.

I could be wrong...
