If "Brazil" had been made post 9-11, people would say the same thing.

Haha! Brazil was awesome! I love it when they have a refund to give to that widow and can't figure out what to do with it.

Perhaps - but I also suspect that if Brazil had been made post 9-11, it wouldn't be the movie it is.

'V' hit all the 'right-bashing' themes in a predictable manner. Gotta say something bad about the Christians, gotta make sure gays are persecuted, gotta make sure anybody from the right looks like Satan, gotta make sure that the left is complete exonerated. It was cleverly made - I just didn't find it very clever.

I didn't think it was propaganda for the left at all, if anything it took shots at both sides which is fine, we need to be shown the faults in our thoughts some times, we're not always perfect here on the right either, we just happen to make mistakes while working in the best interest of our country as opposed to the left.

I've seen the movie, and to me the whole government running every aspect of your life and running every aspect of the marketplace is a very socialist thing, and that's what "V" was rebelling against.

To me he seemed more anarchist than anything else.
(Which happens to be the extreme end of the right wing world)

None the less, it was a good movie and I'm not some one who looks for propaganda everywhere anyways ;)

Brazil was an absolute triumph of filmmaking. One of the greatest movies ever made.

I’ve seen Scooby Doo episodes that were more subtle and unpredictable than V for Vendetta.
