V for Vendetta (USA/UK/Germany: James McTeigue, 2005: 132 mins)
Anderson, Jake. "V for Vendetta: Ideas Cannot Bleed." Letterboxd (May 29, 2020) ["As he puts it, V says there is a serenity, a tranquility in ignorance and complacency. Why would anyone WANT to be informed as to how this world truly works? It’s horrifying, but it’s something we all have to face. Ignoring it, the privilege of being able to ignore it, precisely, cannot mask us, secure us, or fortify us. For the longest time, it has. But this year, at the dawn of this decade, it seems like fear is finally releasing its grip on us. We are being thrust into this because it’s inevitable, and it’s a damn shame it’s taken this long. We are the only ones who have our best interest at heart, so I guess that means we’re the ones who finally have to do something. We are legion. We are many. And we will not go quietly into that good night."]
