This movie reminded me of the many other movies made on the central theme of anarchy in society. I personally do not like this genre of movies, where they depict a completely different (and anarchic) world. I however did find this movie slightly different from the typical hollywood movies with either an alien invasion or a super-hero calamity in place. The fact that “V” was causing all the havoc and was, at the same time, human and driven by a human philosophy made the movie stand out for me. The end of the movie was also something that caught my eye. The movie did not end all smiles. Instead, the movie’s end was rather uncomfortable, with no real restoration to normalcy. Blowing up the prime minister’s house as the an overlord watched the drama unfold was a very unexpected ending. All in all, this movie stood out from its peers in the same genre. However, I did not like the plot a lot, given my bias against the kind of plot it was.

Endless possibilities
I agree that I found it really interesting that this film was able to depict a dystopian future in a way that stood in contrast to other films of this genre. In my opinion, the dystopian future that this film conveyed did not seem all that far out of the realm of possibility. As a result, it seemed to function as a kind of warning that forced its audience to re-evaulate various aspects of our current society.
Ya, I understand how these kinds of films can have parts that are uncomfortable and not liked by all. This is one of my favorite movies of all time so the ending I found inspirational and realistic rather than uncomfortable. The idea of solidarity and making a change potentially for the better is what I love about the ending scene. I also appreciated that everyone wasn’t all smiles and that it wasn’t necessarily a “happy ending”. I find your perspective very interesting because I have never thought of how others viewed this movie.
