V for Vendetta.
Creedy: Die! Die! Why won't you die?! ...Why won't you die?
V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.
The feeling of satisfaction is one that occurs rarely to self as he comes out the cinema hall. More so disturbing considering that self has to shell out substantial quantities of currency notes for movie tickets in Hyderabad as compared to the 30-40 buck thingy in Trivandrum. Nonetheless, V for Vendetta is/was an exception. A well taken movie with a solid cast and script, I enjoyed it to the last scene. All the more special, since this was the first I got to see in an Imax. I'm not gonna delve into plots, dialogues et al. since many film buffs I know haven't had the opportunity to see it..possibly because it hasnt been released 'cept in major cities. Thouroughly political in nature, making your grey cells whiz like crazy throughout the 'break-less' 2 hrs 15 mins and providing surplus food for thought even as you step out of the theatre and walk away, V for Vendetta is a movie worth the money, time and patience.
