Or a Welshman to play the American Batman.....or an Australian as the Scottish William Wallace.......
The list goes on.

Guy Fawkes Day is a British Holiday, were they would burn Guy Fawkes in effigy and stuff like that. I don't think it is really that important of a holiday anymore, but some of our members from the UK might be able to correct me if I'm wrong.

Guy Fawkes Day - or 'Bonfire Night' as it seems to be increasingly better known as - still attracts large crowds to organised bonfire and firework displays. The dressing a guy up (aka 'penny for the guy') isn't that popular anymore.
I suppose the actual day still a popular event on the calendar - but doubt many people could actually tell the story of what the whole thing is about. It certainly isn't taught in history in schools - probably be offensive to those who like going around blowing things up

negative.
the movie took itself way too seriously and they way they went about comparing it to our world today was just too extreme and in your face.
it was a fun movie but would never deserve a second viewing.
i find it caters towards those who want to watch a smart movie but dont plan on thinking too hard.
so they throw together a movie which contains some sort of intelligent premise.. but then they dum it down so that it caters to even the most level headed viewer.
just my two cents..

That's kind of the way I felt about the "Da Vinci Code" movie, but alas, that's a whole other topic.
It seemed like V for Vendetta was written by a super-liberal that couldn't quite get his point across in a subtle manner. I'm sorry, but when you stop and think about it, lines like "People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people." are kind of....well, stupid. A little subtlety goes a long way.
It was okay other than that, though. I just wouldn't call it "one of the best movies of the year!" or anything.

Don't think of it as anti-Bush propaganda--that's just reading too much into it. Wishful thinking by a bunch of leftist Bush-haters. The totalitarian regime in the film is far closer to what happens in the average Muslim nation (just reversed with hypothetical 'Christian' radicals in power) than anything in the modern day west.
Just think of it as an action flick with a side-dish of 'nature of tyranny' talk. IE, Tyranny begins with the individual submitting to it. It's a lesson I think Iraq sorely needs to learn lest the nutjobs completely take over the country.

Like when we turn a blind eye to the suspension of habeas corpus in the United States.
Nah, that would never happen in the West, only in those rogue Muslim nations.

No, seriously, I find it rather insulting that everytime someone brings this up they utterly fail to mention that Habeus Corpus has conditions on which it can be suspended written into the very Constitution you accuse Bush of violating. If you want to argue this further, take it to the politics thread though. Anything else you post here on the subject I will ignore.
