Title sais it all, doesn’t it?
Honestly though, my opinions of the movie versus the comic is quite honestly, not with the original author this time. Alan Moore, all awesome too him, is not a prophet. And I’d doubt he’d disagree with that assessment.
I can only apologize, for not writing this several years earlier. But I believed in Moore in an unhealthy way. I believed in a man’s ambithion and self ideal to be true enough to disagree with my own ideas. Alan Moore and I… in this case though… strafe aggressively from eachother.
Alan, is not apoloigizing for his character, as he shouldn’t. BUT, he’s not open for the importance of V for the 20th millennia. V is the face of the every man’s Al quaida. He’s a terrorist, that Moore is somehow ignoring.
Not because Al Quaida in itself is important. Quite the opposite. It’s merely an accellerator. But V is in the movie aggressively demonstrating the holes in the USA repulican party’s theocarstic ideology. If you’re not with us, you’re against us. V for vendetta, the movie. Is at least an as important piece, as the comic were back in the day. I’d even dare to say more, since it’s much more anchored in the fabrics of reality. Yes, V wasn’t an as dubious charachter as in the comic. But, he was just as important (if not more) for the time, as the comic creation was.
I can only hope Moore, himself sees this and takes it up to argument. But, I’d be happy enough for just one person to see it and form an opinion of their own based of the ideas and “facts” presented to them.
Remember. If a person, tells you that it’s whicked, to believe in something, or just feeling it… then they’re usually trying to direct you.
