V for Vendetta

[The Man in Black]

Just watched this movie with a friend, freaking epic.

Strong resemblance to 1984 and The Count of Monte Cristo, two of some of my favorite books of all time. V was just a straight badass, almost badass enough to stand up to Jules in a badass-fight (not quite though). His freaking knife skills in the movie reminded me of Assassin's Creed ridiculousness. But the sad part is that our society is steps away from becoming similar to this, with propoganda and censorship, luckily there's some of us that are more aware to not fall for it.

(Spoiler alert)
What's funny is that we were both guessing on who V would be, and I drew the striking resemblance between the movie and The Count of Monte Cristo (before they watched The Count of Monte Cristo in the movie), and my friend had the firm belief that V was going to be Evey's dad at the end. Then when the inspector asked Evey who V was she said "Edmond Dantes (the main character of The Monte Cristo), my father, my brother, etc...", LOL, epic win.
