Right wingers most disliked movie?


Critically important lesbians.
Strongman bad guys.
Bill O’Reilly stand in as the main propaganda figure
Persecuted gay leftie good guy who likes Korans.
The guys with the guns are persistently made look foolish and weak.
Not-quite-an-Anarchy-symbol, colours and ideals.
The police shooting triggering civil unrest.


Or is there another movie right wingers hate more?

Doesnt matter because the left mindless fell into the Hilary camp, which is no different from Bush and his war crimes and treason surrounding 9/11. So now both sides are equally corrupt and using the same tricks, which is why so many people voted for Trump. They didnt want Jeb, Rubio, Hilary or Biden anywhere near a position of power. But since those people are so powerful (powerful backers), they were able to obstruct most of Trumps work by consuming his time fighting phony accusations and reverting all his progress/gains by overhyping a fricken flu to crash the economy, steal back power, and crush the middle class and make more people reliant on the government for gibs.

Unfortunately, unlike this movie they didnt cure the St. Marys virus (Covid), but just chose to distract by instigating a war between Russia and Ukraine by not allowing Russia to build a pipeline around them.

I mean, Alan Moore, self-described anarchist and the creator of the story, said himself:

Those words, “fascism” and “anarchy,” occur nowhere in the film. It’s been turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country.

In my original story there had been a limited nuclear war, which had isolated Britain, caused a lot of chaos and a collapse of government, and a fascist totalitarian dictatorship had sprung up. Now, in the film, you’ve got a sinister group of right-wing figures — not fascists, but you know that they’re bad guys — and what they have done is manufactured a bio-terror weapon in secret, so that they can fake a massive terrorist incident to get everybody on their side, so that they can pursue their right-wing agenda. It’s a thwarted and frustrated and perhaps largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values [standing up] against a state run by neo-conservatives — which is not what V for Vendetta was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about [England].

The intent of the film is nothing like the intent of the book as I wrote it. And if the Wachowski brothers had felt moved to protest the way things were going in America, then wouldn’t it have been more direct to do what I’d done and set a risky political narrative sometime in the near future that was obviously talking about the things going on today?


So yeah... there's that.

I'm a conservative but I do agree with the message of the movie. And although they did change the villain from Alan Moore's story the whole thing with the bad guys taking over the government and killing gay people is apart of the original Graphic novel so it's not that unfaithful to it in that regard. Honestly though if it had been more faithful to the original story it may not have been as successful. It also would've been a little less action packed and less epic if you will.

Let me explain what I mean. You know how at the end of the movie, Creedy and his men go after V and shoot him up with machine guns and then V takes them all out with his knives? That isn't in the original graphic novel. In the graphic novel, Inspector Finch is the one that ends up confronting V. He and V are alone and he shoots V with his gun. Then V just goes back to his hideout and we have the scene where Evey and him talk before he dies. Just a little less epic imo. But then I saw the movie several times before ever reading the graphic novel. So I am biased.

Edit: And the scene with the dominos forming the letter V on the ground is not in the Graphic novel either. So yeah. Less epic.

Good to see a wacky imagination gone wild.

VfV movie: 4/10
VfV comic: 7/10

Right wing vocal extremists: 2/10
Left wing vocal extremists: 1.5/10 (congratulations Left! you managed to pass them up somehow!)

If anything, this movie pissed off comic fans for hijacking the story for home cooked politics.

I'm a big Trump guy, but this is a terrific film; years ago, an old pal of mine(huge Conservative)saw this film and hated it b/c it was too liberal. A good film is a good film. Also, today is 11/5, I think that date means something in this film.

I am right wing and I don't mind lesbians in fact I think it's hot. As for other things, I don't really remember, it's been to long since I watched this movie. The only thing I find hilarious is they portrayed a dystopian future where gays are openly hated on by politicians, when in reality (as time since this movie came out has proven) the future is already just the opposite of that. People are now already being jailed in Canada for "misgendering" someone (which is actually correctly gendering someone ironically enough). They should make a movie about dystopian future where liberal lunacy rules. That would be much more realistic.
