I mean, would they be cheering like "Finally, the infidels GET IT!!!!"
-OR-
"They have no clue what REAL OPPRESSION AND TERROR ARE, the dogs!!!"
And more importantly, do they give it a 'thumbs up'?

The terrorists are watching that movie to see how to blow up things and getting ideas. Hollywood and Englands moviemakers work under the Devils' influence and help the cause of terrorism. I rented it and demanded my money back for that piece of unAmerican junk. America will never fall that low with people like Predident Bush leading the way. Like you all want it too.
Stupid stupid idiots.

Taken simply as entertainment, the flick is downright good, the rich symbolism and astounding direction, lighting and motion is a complete league higher than most anything that has come out of hollywood in and years, and for once some decent acting and a story instead of mindless drivel and special effects.
That being said....
Politically the flick is something downright frightening, especially to americans who can see their current government in the eyes and actions of the norsefire regime, and yes, I supposed one could say it might give folk ideas, but considering my own leanings, I have to ask if those are necessarily BAD ideas ?
"Clearly some are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable.."
The movie paints V as a much more sane, much nicer guy than the original story, and uses an idealistic ending that we know quite well would turn out differently because you always, always have fanatic civvie/dissent haters in a military group like that, and it only takes ONE shot fired in anger.... and angry mobs tend to be both unstoppable and unforgiving, just ask Mussolini.
Of course, I am biased because the flick is based on a viewpoint from mine own political perspective - and most reviews seem to reflect the politics of the viewer (especially some of the 'bad' reviews from current administration supporters who admit they've never even seen it!) rather than any appreciation for the film itself.
If you discard politics and view it as entertainment, it's STILL a damned good flick even if it does dredge up a disturbing thought or two, and still quite entertaining and moving.
Pass the popcorn please,

PS. - I found the concept of big bad V cooking breakfast in a prissy floral apron rather screechingly hilarious myself... always reduces me to shrieking giggles, really it does...

Watching V for Vendetta? Serves 'em right, I say!
I thought V was so incredibly misguided (revolution by superhero) and unrealistic that anyone who watches it for ideas deserves whetever they get.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

i dunno..i think you are missing the premise; it is within the capablility of any establishment to condition its citizens through controlled media outlets, with propoganda and disinformation. if nothing else, it opens a window to the possibility that such acts are conceivable, and IMO prevelant

Ah, of course. Everything I need to know about blowing things up I learned in Hollywood. 'Cuz nothing says realism like a Hollywood action flick.
Yes, Hollywood is responsible for the devil's influence and helping the cause of terrorism. I think we should all band together and make sure that no more movies are made in the US, ever. Oh, and no more books, magazines, newspaper articles, TV shows, radio programs, or internet will be allowed. It might give the terrorists ideas. I'm sure we can do all this with the great and wonderful "Predident Bush" leading the way!
WrongStuff: In case you are as humor-impaired as most of your right-wing brethren, the above was an example of what is known as "sarcasm". Look it up. It's spelled s-a-r-c-a-s-m, just in case you're too damn stupid to spell it yourself.
The nerve of that movie, suggesting that people try to overthrow an oppressive regime. It's un-American, I tell you. Never, NEVER would anyone in this great land of ours attempt to undertake such a thing as overthrowing an oppressive government. Well, okay, that one time, but never again. It would be completely un-American to believe that we could, or should, start a revolution against the form of government we live under. If the Founding Fathers had tried it, they should have all been shot. A true patriot knows that only blind subservience will lead to true freedom.
Again, dipshit, the word was "sarcasm".
So, when you become a NeoCon, do they remove your sense of humor too, or is it just your free will and your ethics?

Remember, Kiddies, you can't spell "QUAGMIRE" without "I", "R", "A", & "Q"!

I find it curious that the country w/ was on the receiving end of the NAZI iron toed boot kicks to the head back in WW2, England, would turn around and accuse their own Gov't of morphing into much of that which they finally defeatd. And for anyone to accuse Bush of anything remotely close to what this sad fantasy portrays, is literally beyond belief.
I'm sure the Islamo-fascist would love to watch "V" over and over again. Pointless violence and destruction is their game.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
