Great Reaction Cass

The locked in the cell scenes are my favorite parts of the movie being stuck alone we all would cling to anything that gave us hope in her case the letter which was a beautiful story btw without that letter she would have had no hope just despair 😢thats what spring to mind whenever I think of the film Natalie Portman getting her head shaved was actually done for real in that scene live 😊 imagine if the director shouted cut ( no pun intended) take two would have been interesting 😅 amusing how you will people to be killed cass 😂 GOT has changed your outlook the priest " I hope they kill him" hehe very amusing. I enjoyed the film and your reaction I'd give it a 7.5 / 10

I was actually thinking of Children of Men as the movie was coming to an end.

haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who did the exact same thing. It was only 15mins into it, so I just started again. :)

really nice reaction cass although i must confess at one point i hit pause on your screen by accident without knowing and maybe 10 mins went by with me thinking wow cass is so engrossed in this movie shes not moving before i realised lol syncing was not easy after that but i got it close , i wonder if the masks inspired the masks in the money heist series just thinking aloud

Ian

my English teacher showed this to us in grade 10, and I haven't forgot the 5th of November since! lol great reaction btw. I hope you get a chance to react to Cloud Atlas sometime in the future. it's another hidden gem, from the same people who made this movie.

The last time I saw this film was actually in 2006, when it was released in theatres here, so I didn't remember a lot of it other than "Remember, remember the 5th of November", and of course the mask as the symbol of the hacktivist group Anonymous. But watching it now, almost 15 years later, it's eerie how we are closer to what is depicted (if not quite there) in 2020 than we were when this film was made, and given that the film is set in the late 2020's, the future looks bleak. I liked what you referred to at the end, when Evey said she didn't think there ever was a moment where she saw a better world than there was before, and I'd have to think really hard to come up with a time myself (and I'm 50!). That's a sobering thought. I found a very good piece on this film that was written only two months ago that goes a little deeper into how the film was regarded back in 2005 and how we should look at it now: https://www.theverge.com/21349606/v-for-vendetta-movie-yesterdays-future-present . It points out how this film came out only five years after 9/11 and yet was unapologetically about a terrorist as a (anti)hero, which is quite bold, but also played into the critical reception at the time. Smart film. Some of the more action-y scenes are a bit cartoonish, but the ideas behind it are interesting and in a way timeless, as evidenced by its own reference to Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, itself a revolutionary act. If you want to watch another film that paints a bleak picture of a not so distant future that seems uncomfortably realistic to imagine in a few years: Children of Men from 2006.
