很久没看碟了,家里也存了不少买来却没看过的DVD盘.这张是好几个月前买的了,曾经在这个片刚上映的时候下载过,down下来才发现是枪板,当然没看就删除了,然后等了一段时间又买了一张碟,卖碟的小伙子信誓旦旦说是碟版,回家一看竟然又是抢版.终于过了这么长时间看到尊宝出了这个片,尊宝这么有名的D商当然不会做枪版了,立即买下,但一直到昨天才看.
扯太多关于碟的题外话了,真正的主题还是应该聚焦在这部电影上.看过之后感触颇深.显然这不是一部普通的类型片,而且象龌龊司机这样拍过Matrix的导演也不可能满足拍摄于没有内涵的电影.在Matrix中隐藏了太多的宗教与哲学，而V For Vendetta里人们看到的是政治，政治，还是政治。
导演很喜欢漫画，这部电影饿是通过漫画改编而来的。虽然有人说电影剧本的改编与原著相比差距很大，失去了很多原著中优秀的东西，但是作为没看过原著的我已经觉得这个剧本非常优秀了。
故事以未来混乱的世界为背景，美国已经由于内战自顾不暇，英国被一名独裁者Chancellor Adam Sutler统治。英国在高度集权政治下任何人都没有发表异议的自由，甚至同性恋与异教徒都被逮捕和秘密处死。自称为V的人希望效仿1605年的11月5日企图炸毁国会大厦推翻当时的暴君詹姆士一世的革命人物Guy Fawkes，通过暴力手段来推翻英国的集权政治。父母兄弟皆是被政府迫害至死的Evey偶然也卷了进来。故事在V的行动与Evey的自我觉醒中展开……
在Matrix里扮演Agent Smith而出名的雨果·维文(Hugo Weaving)这次扮演了始终带着面具的V，整部影片甚至都没露出脸来，完全依靠动作和语言来塑造人物。而Natalie Portman的精彩演出更是让人难忘，显然当年Leon里那个清纯的小姑娘已经成长为超级演技派，从冷山，星战，偷心里的一系列表演都可以看出她高超的技巧。
抛开演员，也不谈什么拍摄手法，什么镜头啦，布景啦，特效啦这些东西一概不理。V For Vendetta这部电影最让我喜欢的还是他的故事情节以及内涵。普通的个体在社会中如何表达自己的意志？集权政治是如何操控人的思想？这些命题都是这部电影所带给我的思考。这个片让我想起了以前看过的《撕裂的末日》(Equilibrium)以及发条橙。这两部也都描写了集权政治对人性的泯灭。显然，以上这些影片都是不可能在中国大陆上映的，尤其是Equilibrium，呵呵。看过的人自然知道我在说什么了……
贴一段V在电视台的讲话，感觉V是个诗人，呵呵：
Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security, the familiar, the tranquility, repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.
这部电影IMDB分数不底，而且还排进了TOP250。总之，虽然它很天真，但我非常喜欢！
