We have already entered into an age where the media offers us an ideal picture of how things need or should be like in our lives. We are surrounded everyday by their captivating stories and heartfelt moments as we spend our hard earned money to be educated, or more simply, entertained. Good movies offer us more than just action packed scenes or romantic lovers, but life changing principles and deep thoughts. My goal is to find those meaningful movies and unwrap the deeper message.

An idea of something better
An idea cannot die, an idea does not bleed, an idea lasts forever. Many phrases such as this are the foundations to this movie. V for Vendetta depicts a somewhat futuristic world in London where a communist government has complete control over its citizens. As such, several have tried to destroy this infamous tyranny but none have succeeded, until now. I love how the director tells us that no matter how sided the odds are against our favor, we should always do what we feel to be right. We are told that it is an idea of something better that ignites the flames of justice into action. The phrase, An idea can never die, is the main focus to this movie but it has so much more personal meaning that each viewer has to find within their selfs to make this movie reach its potential. V, played by actor Hugo Weaving, mentions that fairness, justice, and freedoms, are more than words, they are perspectives. For those who have seen this movie, how does this phrase connect the symbolism of the movie to our own lives? Also, those who have seen or not seen this movie, pay attention to the use of the letter "V" in the movie and how it portrays the sense of realization to a better cause. This movie is more than a movie, it is an idea of something better.
