controVersy

Before seeing V for Vendetta I was told that it was a controversial movie, due to the fact that the government was to represent our own, under Bush’s rule. In some ways I can see how our government may go overboard, but it does not go to the extremes like the fascist government in the graphic novel or the movie. An example of our government becoming controlling would have to be the patriot act. Its purpose is to stop any terrorist plot that is talked about via phone conversation; it is here to help the people of America from a terrorist attack, while also invading our privacy by being able to list to our own personal phone conversations. In the graphic novel it is said many of times that the reason the government is doing these various curfews, restrictions and ect. Is to protect the people they govern. The idea of terrorism to change a government is a very controversial topic. It conveyed the point that if one does not agree with their government they can easily tear it apart with distinctive terrorist plots and cause a entire many to rise up with them and revolt against the government. In the movie and the graphic novel, there are things that some may relate to the society we live in. The big television network that V takes over can be a symbol as the FOX news network, with its conservative and way right news. Some have also said that they relate the Leader in V for Vendetta to George Bush.
