'V for Vendetta' -- High-Def Digest review
Happy Halloween everyone!
No new horror movie reviews today, though I guess you could say 'V for Vendetta' has horrific elements: http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/vforvendetta.html Never seen the film and thought it was a bit of a mismatch, but a smart, fiery one. Great disc, too -- great IME and Dolby TrueHD track on this one.

I thought the Movie and transfer were very good. Mind you i am originally from England so does that give me a bias (lol)

Is Peter Bracke out of his mind?
His hatred of the Bush administration now causes him to think V is about the administration in Washington!!!! What an arse you are mr. bracke.

Had to comment on this one:
Quote:
In fact, in an article critical of the film, the right wing journal The New Republic called it a "bank-shot against Bush" in August this year: http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w060731&s=orr080106 And countless other media outlets on both sides of the aisle have also discussed the film's politics (this is a small sampling): http://www.aim.org/media_monitor/A4511_0_2_0_C/ http://www.slate.com/id/2138561/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/0...o_n_17537.html So while Bracke's description of the film's apparent political leanings is a bit more graphic perhaps than the others (he said "arse," not ass, it should be noted), it's not a leap by any means. And BTW, at no point that I could find does Bracke say he agrees with *the filmmakers' views*... not sure where you're seeing his "hatred of the Bush administration."

I can't say I appreciate the political commentary in the review, but the film does look interesting. I may give it a rent.

Just picked this up today and LOVED it. Dolby TrueHD is awesome. This may just be my demo disk from now on, the part with the 1812 overture and the building blowing up with the fireworks in the background not only looked stunning but my whole house was shaking from the bass
 . I didn't see any parellel to current politics while watching the film. In fact up until I read this thread the thought hadn't crossed my mind. While watching it I was very much reminded of Hitler, ie. concentration camps, human testing, speaking from the stage with banners in the background and troops marching, singling out minorities, etc... all Hitler.
