I’m always late with new things. I don’t follow trends that closely, good or bad. I’m forever getting caught up on things that are “must see,” it seems. Much like my blog.
Anyway, as you can guess from the title, last night I watched V for Vendetta. It was at the insistence of one of my housemates, though he didn’t have to pressure me too hard.
I hadn’t heard much about the movie, except that Hugo Weaving was responsible for the masked character. I had few expectations for it, which is a refreshing thing. That tends to leave a lot more room for a film to impress than it does to disappoint. The only thing that I’d expected was that I would be making some “Mr. Anderson” jokes at the expense of Mr. Weaving’s acting abilities, as I did in Lord of the Rings. Heheheh, “Welcommmmme to Rivendell, Mister Bagginnnnssss…”
Needless to say, there were no such opportunities. In short, the film blew me away, and I can hands down call it one of my instant favourites.
