I just watched an early screening of the Wachowski Brothers' latest film: V for Vendetta

Before I get started, I'll let you know....

I'm behind you Ichinisan in regards to the POV of the movie (if what you say is true, haven't seen it yet). I consider myself a tolerant conservative as well. **the following isn't meant to be a chauvinistic remark, so if that's how you take it, you have your "freedom of belief** Liberals remind me of women, they try to set double standards for themselves. Women expect men to be chivilrous, yet expect to be treated equally in the work place. Liberals demand all this free speech, same way liberals cry that our government isn't giving the liberties and siding with the radical islamists who want to murder people for defaming mohammad in a cartoon, yet say that the pi** Christ is freedom of speech.

BTW Geniuses, the story takes place in Britain not America.

I think most conservatives would be considered tolerant. But (generalising here) liberals seem to take tolerance to mean "agreeing with them." Nobody seems to expect liberals to be tolerant of conservatives though. The posts in this thread show definate intolerance from the liberals to conservatives.

 

[Sentinel]

The Wachowski's would have you believe that, in fact, conservatives hate homosexuals.

You didn't back this up, it's a movie not real life. Step down from your pedestal.

Edit: I didn't say anything else in regard to the rest of your post because as soon as I got to this line I stopped reading.

It wouldn't matter if it took place in Koalalampour, the background is what matters, not the minute details, and yes the setting is a minute detail.

I'm not going to spend money on anything the Wachowski brothers are involved in. I can't believe how bad they screwed up the Matrix sequels.

yeah, matrix reloaded and matrix re-whatever sucked. Okay, the soundtrack was decent.

Sheesh, 2 & 3 weren't THAT bad!

 

[Azndude2190]

All this over a movie?

...sheesh now I have to go see it

2 was meh but 3 was downright awful

 

[Looney]

Thanks for the great review! I'm definitely gonna go see it.

 

[cliftonite]

cant wait to see this

 

[TheTony]

How does this not belong in P&N?

For future reference, a disclaimer in the OP that announces it as non-political does not make it so.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Rotten Tomatoes: 75%. That's good enough for me. Gonna see it, and hopefully like it.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

I saw it and liked it. Oh, and they do have a very good point.

 

[JEDI]

Ichinisan:

-Conservatives don't like homosexuals.
-Religious conservatives are raging perverts.
-Terrorism is OK for overthrowing oppressive (read: "conservative") governments.
-Conservatives are the enemies of art.
-Conservatism equates to pure evil.

didnt read anything you wrote past that you're a conservative. oh yeah, and these titles.

Bush is KILLING this country, figurtively ($9 Triilion debt) and literally (Iraq).

yeah, i would say the last title is especially tru of this country's current regime.

Yeah, and?

I'm thinking you must not have actually watched the movies then?

Scientists are predicting that the strong conservatism in the US will be less prevalent in the future. This will be brought about by the evolution of mankind due to the natural course of selective breeding.

And someone said this thread wouldn't change anyone's opinion on seeing the movie.

Well since hardcore fundies don't practice birth control I am not sure how true that is.

But they are more likely to send their kids to Iraq.

Now if we could only send them ALL to Iraq.

I agree with all the above statements.

Fixed. Don't confuse republicans for conservatives.

 

[SupaDupaCheez]

It's all part of Tom Cruise's agenda

 

[Aharami]

thanks for the HUGE overanalysis. But all that typing did squat for me. I'm still gonna see this movie and I'm gonna enjoy it more because you told me not to see it (I cant stand religion)

There is this crazy concept in life called, "entertainment," and believe it or not...some people actually know how to simply enjoy it.

It's not an enjoyable movie by any standard. There may be some elements of the movie to like (cinematography, acting, etc). If someone likes the movie itself, that person is probably not very bright. (or perhaps, a successfully brainwashed tool)

Or maybe they just dont take every insult to conservatism so seriously because they arent conservative brain washed tools? I havent seen the movie so thats just a theory.
