But the frozen mask just smiles

Just got back from V for Vendetta, which I saw with my parents. I really liked. I may now have to re-read the graphic novel, but the film stands on its own. Without getting into detailed commentary (as I'm tired enough to fall asleep on my keyboard and God knows what kind of film criticism that would produce), it's beautifully filmed and put together, relevant in the intelligent sort of way, and I now believe that Natalie Portman can act. Hugo Weaving was incredible; and I liked the complications of Stephen Rea's Finch and Stephen Fry's Dietrich. spectre_general and Ainz: if you still want to see this film, I'd gladly watch it a second time. Besides, there was swashbuckling with Robert Donat. What was possibly not to like?
