V for Vendetta

I really liked this film.  The parallels with our current times are definitely unnerving. Demonize Islam, drum up fear, deny the facts, twist the truth, focus on mysterious "flu's" & "terrorist threats" to justify extraordinary laws and impositions on personal freedoms  (Give me back my hair gel!)

Natalie Portman doesan excellent job. Excellent Brit accent .

"People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people".

Indeed. Although one could argue that the government's fear of their people drives the decisions of the government.

To be honest, if you think there's any such thing as a "Brit accent", you're probably not in much of a position to judge how good it is :) (Most Brits found it appalling.)
