(no subject)
I am so happy now, I got a job!!! A job as a ride operator at a theme park, how cool is that? Not only do I get to push buttons all day long, I also take peoples' lives into my hands by making sure if they're buckled in right.
What they left out:
-Evey isn't out selling her body in the beginning, though you have to wonder what kind of jerk asks a girl to put herself in danger just to go on a date with him.
-Finch never goes on a LSD trip to find out about V, no instead he just has a "feeling" when he goes to Larkhill.
-Almond and his wife are left totally out of the story, instead they just put Discoambe in his place. --Which is quite a rise in position for a sleazy scottish thug.
-Prothero isn't tortured, V just kills him.
-They actually have Evey try to warn that pervy priest and betray V, I hated that character rape!
-Apparently all you need to dissaper in a totalitarian regime is shave your head and get a new ID since Evey decides to just go off on her own after her "time in prison".
-Evey doesn't become V, instead they do some shit about him being everyone or somehting.
-Totally change Evey's story from innocent average victim to child of poltical dissenters.
-Oh yeah, it yet another PC move that make Gordon gay so he and Evey can't possibly have any sexual tension even. I can see why Moore hated the script, Hollywood insists on beautifying everything.
-We are also denied Portman's tits since she's clothed in the nude rainstorm on the roof scene.
What they kept:
-Valerie's letter, and that was the best part of the movie.
-Most of the events, but they're out of order and handled differently.
My final opeinion is that it is an okay movie on it's own, not neccessarily a waste of a ticket. But if you're expecting Moore's hard biting, ambigious V for Vendetta, you'll be dissapointed. V is now decidedly a hero that can love, and Evey a doubtful shadow of her novel self. Evey doesn't wrestle with the rights and wrongs of V's anrachist ways, but she doesn't have to really in the movie. In fact the anrachist part is greatly downplayed since its the exposure of a killer disaese that the goveremnt released is what ultimately sways the last few disbelievers. It is not a tale of the need for anarchy in every society but rather a tale of a man struggling with his indenity and trapped by it, but manages to do great things because of it.
Still, its wasn't great enough for me to rent the DVD when it comes out, though I have read the book several times.
