From what I've read on the internet (as I've been unable to track down the orignal story by Moore), pretty much everyone in England who wasn't a white member of the [obviously very corrupt in the film] Church of England is persecuted, which the movie represented fairly well.

You'd think a movie like this--showing how bad things could be--would shut the whiny 'gay agenda' crowd up, you know. Anyway. Portman and Weaving were great, and the overall message--that tyranny is only possible the citizens allow it, was good. And watching parlaiment explode was strangely satisfying.

I do have a question: the government reports in the film keep insisting that America is mostly destroyed... but isn't it possible that this is propaganda? America's gift the anchor mentioned at the beginning--what if it was really a gift of pity instead of 'in exchange for medical supplies'? Just food for thought.
