Over hundreds of thousands of "Fawkes" masks distributed. Why didn't I get one? Crap.


I loved the mask. Really.

Check out those Guy Fawkes mask! I want one for myself! This movie gave me a picture of what may happen(hope not) to the present Philippine government. I hope this political turmoil will not end up with exploding Metro Manila landmarks of some sort. This movie tackles a lot of political issues that also reflects the situation in the Philippines before and up to this very time.

The movie is about the story of Evey Hammond(Portman) who is rescued by a masked character only known as "V"(Weaving). V urges the people to rise up and revolt against the fascist government of Chancellor Sutler in Britain. Now both Evey and V stand to fight for the freedom and justice that they longed for a long time.

Although there are very obvious differences from the graphic novel by Allan Moore(author of From Hell, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), this film is still a crackin' good watch. Its gotta be the mask! Yes, that mask! The Fawkes Mask!! I want it!! =p Rate:9/10
