Atheist Meditations

Let's see...
Angry American- check
can't stand what's happening in our country - check
9/11 used in politcal speeches pisses me off -check

Hmmm... that's a lot of checks, too bad I can't cash them in.
 

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November.
Where our terrorist attack rang true.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November.
The basis for this story's untrue"

I agree that movies often have a hidden meaning, and this one might be a poorly veiled attack on the Bush presidency, but honestly, its a feeble attempt at best.

In my view of the movie, its about revenge. A man gets tortured and tested on and he gets revenge. There is no patriotic reasoning for this, just blind rage. His main objective for the whole movie is to kill the people that did the experiments to him. Rage. Pure and simple.

Does this translate well to a shrouded attack on the Bush administration? Possibly, though it could easily be one towards England, religion in general, a love story, or just the ravings of a man pushed past the point of sanity by torture and the pain of escape.

"If you look hard enough, you'll see the devil's work everywhere."

I'm not a religious man, but this statement seems true enough. If you look hard enough, just about everything can be twisted to your point of view. Just look at Bill O'Riley's No Spin Zone and you'll know what I mean. Just enjoy the movie for what it is, an enjoyable movie.
 

i cant wait.this one may be the movie to drag my ass out of west and into ...tada....the city...of waco...
 

Prodito,

Thanks so much for commenting again on my site. Someone once conned me into becoming a math tutor with the line, 'we never understand something until we try to teach it. . .' Sometimes we never understand something until we are forced to defend it. Your comments just got my blogging blood up, and that hasn't happened too much lately.

I don't believe that one can say that V is a feeble attack - and saying he is hell bend on revenge 'Pure and simple' does not satisfy me. Consider the scene where V is cooking breakfast for Evevy: He's still in most of his costume, but without the gloves and with an apron right out of a 50's housewife advert. Similarily, in his actions regarding dancing before the big night. A simple, vengence minded man has no time for dancing or the mildly self-mocking humor of his cooking scene. He's drawn here as a figure who will get his revenge, but who will also live - and relish that life - while he has it.

Secondly, this movie advocates violent resistance and revolution. Can you think of another movie or almost any other mass media vehical, that has done so? His speech to the people, when he has taken control of the media center, that's dialog that the world has been begging for. I've been wanting to say that to every neoconned blogger who's ever vexed me; I'm gonna get that speech tattooed on my unit.
