...governments should be afraid of their people.

That's a quote from "V for Vendetta", a movie that has already opened everywhere except for New Zealand. Grrr. It apparently starts here at the end of this month

I saw a poster of it earlier this week near the cinema, and saw 'from the makers of The Matrix' and knew I had to go see it just for that. I checked out the trailers and found out some more information, and knew it was 'my kind of movie'.

And then my friend Emelie today writes a post where she says: "Alan, you should REALLY go see it, it's straight up your alley. You know, in a good way."

So what's it about? Why am I interested? Why are my friends telling me I need to go see it? I quote:

A shadowy freedom fighter known only as "V" uses terrorist tactics to fight against his totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally.

That's why I'm interested. Right up my alley indeed. :-)

I'll try to download it, and if I can't, I'll wait until it comes out at the cinema here in a couple of weeks.
