9. I agree. Not with the Natalie Portman bit because I think she's a good actress who was unbelievably shit as Evie but really, that was only one of the many problems I had with that movie. And not with the everyone who likes it is ignorant thing either. Just the general sentiment that the movie was crap. That said, I'm referring to the two movie remakes of the original text as independent works and claiming that the V for Vendetta movie was obnoxiously ripping off and capitalising on the visual motifs of the earlier Nineteen Eighty-four film. And you know, it wouldn't have pissed me off that they were so blatantly referring to it with the art direction and the casting of John Hurt if VfV had been good, or competent, or if the Wachowski brothers had been transparent about their desire to make an awesome looking action film devoid of any real, well thought out political commentary. But no, they had to invoke a much better cinematic dystopia to validate their own vision once they (presumably) realised it was empty of nuance, substance, relevance etcetc. It wasn't a homage, they didn't add anything to my memories of a superior film. It just felt like a cheap shortcut to me and it hindered me from liking that movie even more.

That said, I don't think it's total rubbish (or a remake, as you put it). The action scenes were well executed and Stephen Fry was great. Stephen Fry always brings his A game, bitches.

Damnit, that first bit of the paragraph was meant to go Not with the Natalie Portman bit because I think she's a good actress who was unbelievably shit as Evie. And not with the everyone who likes it is ignorant thing either.

...wait, Stephen Fry was in that?

[identity profile] agnes-perdita.livejournal.com 2008-03-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
He was! :D He was the tv personality who collected all the banned cultural relics and sought to make light of the whole political atmosphere by sending up the High Chancellor only to meet a horrible end. He was pretty great.
