Crikey!!

Ok, I know that things are going on in the world.  Heck, things are happening in our local News right now.  All the news channels seem to be covering right now though is Steve Erwin.  So, as I think  it is important to mention a movie this week, I will not be cutting into anything to big anyway.  Not, that I won’t miss the crocodile hunter, but I feel he died doing what he loved to do.  I think we all would like to go out enjoying life.  

Back to my point, this movie I have eluded to before.  I want to point blank call it by name and tell you why you need to see it.  V for Vendetta.  It embodies many facits of the belief system that our little chronicle believes in.  It is a story of freedom and beauty.  Selflessness and the God given rights of people to seek happiness and express themselves through prose.

First, I do not consider myself a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’.  I would have to consider myself more as a ‘Patriot’ of my country, having served my country as a soldier and believe I am willing to serve her again, if the need should arise.

But, anyone who fails to admit that governments make closed door decisions and hide things from its people is very naïve.  I do not fall into that category.  

Most of you that receive the ‘Minuteman’, witnessed first hand a government sponsored exercise in martial law.  Police and military units ‘patrolled’ the streets of the New Orleans area.  They forced people from their homes with gestapo tactics.  Brutally uncaring about the fraility of old womens bones, or the 2nd ammendment rights of the people.  They seized LEGALLY OWNED firearms from LAW ABIDING citizens.  This guns were hidden and denied that they existed until the NRA finally put enough spotlight and pressure on the local police that they had to produce them.  Then they made it impossible for some of those legally owned firearms to be returned to the owners, by demending the owner to produce paperwork that could have been flooded or did not exist.  If your daddy gives you a pistol that he bought for your 23rd birthday, do you have paperwork on it?  Can you dig up your decesed father to vouch for the fact?

I am saying all this to tell you that I am surprised that V for Vendetta was even made.  So many things are said and shown in that movie that are against what the government and the hollywood media outlet would have you to know.  The only reason I believe it was allowed to be made is that it is set in England.  And the state of things being so bad is blaimed on the USA and ‘its war’.

The story of Guy Fawkes is brushed into the story.  Which gives a little history lesson that few people are told anymore.  I invite you to purchase it.  Rent it if you think it may just be a ‘looker’ not an ‘owner’ although, I assure you if you are subscribed to TMC and receiving this review it is an ‘owner’.  If you absolutely are to cheap to rent it, I believe it is important enough that I could loan you mine.


NOW I WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE, SO BE WARNED.  I AM NOT TRYING TO ‘SPOIL’ IT BUT, I AM DESCRIBING THE CHARACTERS A LITTLE.

Ultimately, it is the story of 2 people.  V and Evey.  V is the masked crusader, who is labeled a terrorist by his government.  Terrorist because he calls the people of England to stand united, against the tyranny of the dictator.  He does blow up some stuff and wreck the police when he has to.

Evey, is a young woman.  She was a ‘ward of the state’ from 10 to 18 I guess because the government ‘disappeared’ her parents because they were political protestors.  Her story is of a citizen in a tyranical country and what choices have to be made to turn the tide.

It is a wonderful movie.  I saw it in the theatre because I hoped it would be good.  I bought the DVD because I know it is good.
