Review: A powerful statement about governments and corruption of power. This one was not even close to what i expected, and it was a lot better than i had thought it would be. The photography and acting are good, even the guy in the mask managed a particularly good job, and NO we do not see his face at any time. Without a doubt many will be turned off from the politics that create the atmosphere of this film, but if you do not delve on them, it is a statement about, as V said "It is not the people that should fear the government, but the government that should fear the people." After all, why does a government exist? This film opens up how a government can manipulate it's people into giving up so many rights, they no longer have the right to question. In this world we see an America in civil war, and an England in the grips of a totalitarian regime. America's problems are not the focus here, England's are, and the story of how one man can ignite the fires of rebellion and spark a freedom movement. It is a fanciful story in parts, but it opens eyes and thoughts. More believable than is comforting, this one is a favorite of mine and is highly recommended. Families need to think about how their kids can digest the details of this film to get the most out of it. With the language and violence limited and not particularly graphic, so the main limiter for most might be the concepts that need to be grasped and understood to appreciate the film.
