[Paul C. Jesup]

First, "V" is about a tyrannical U.K. government, not the U.S. and the way things are looking in the U.K. right now in real life, banned on guns and knifes, all they need is a public crackdown on free speech and the U.K. will be a tyranny.

Its really an allegory about Bush's America. But not to detain people further, the movie doesn't address the real threat to the West: Islam. If there's tyranny in store in our future, its from those who want to impose the Sharia on us. I'm sorry to have to tell the Left despite their twisted fantasies, that's not coming from Republicans.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

I will say this in defense of the movie; the idea that people have a right to rebel against a tyrannical govt should appeal to conservatives. Furthermore, the idea that the Left could do so is far-fetched, especially considering their hatred and non-possession of guns.

But anyway; that Bush and modern conservatives are the target of this film is almost certainly the case. Why would a bunch of leftist producers/writers/actors want to do something about Britain when there is a much more inviting target in Bush?

You're right, final judgment should be withheld until one has seen it, but it does sound like its a presentation of one paranoid leftwing delusion after another.
