V for Vendetta - Finally a good movie

So, I just went to V for Vendetta, and let me say, it is a relief to finally go to a good movie. V for Vendetta is a movie about a 17th century-mask wearing terrorist who uses his knife skills to bring down a big-brother reminiscent society along with winning the heart of Natalie Portman after he shaves her head. V for Vendetta is made by the Wachowski brothers, the same guys who made the matrix. While I would give V for Vendetta a good grade, i do have one problem with it.
The world of V for Vendetta is based on the pretences that a british conservative party snatched away control then used its power to make everyone conform to their standards. While this part of the plot did not bother me, it bothers me that some people might actually think that is what the conservatives in our own country would seek to do. Which is not true. Many people think that conservatives, particullarly Republicans, are evil, if that were true, I would be the devil. Last time I checked, i didnt have horns, and I am more pale than I am the color red. For some reason, V for Vendetta, takes time to show how evil government hates gays and kills them, I dont hate them, I don’t want to eliminate them from Earth, just dont think they should get married. This part of the movie seems more like a political jab than an actually nessessity to the movie. The movie also points out that the government attacked themselves in order to scare the people into control. It mirrors the very FICTIONAL Michael Moore film, Ferinheit 911. This bugs me, for obvious reasons. But I have to get back to work, the bottom line is, besides the political jabs, V for Vendetta kicks ass. {I didnt feel like spell checking, feel free to do it yourself.}
