... Vendetta.

On Saturday afternoon we popped up to Crawley to watch a film, and picked this one, knowing very little about what it was other than the brief description on the cinema website.

It was a fantastic film, depicting a possible future (which may well result from the way our government currently seems headed), sort of like an updated 1984 (because we are there already).

I am torn between the idea of saying to much to give everything away or too little to give a decent impression of the film. But Hugo Weaving plays a really pissed off guy who wears a mask to hide his badly disfigured face, who has been planning for years to get back at the evil government which he helped to create, and wants to inject enough passion and energy back into the populace to retake power over their country.

In a way, that's what we need to do now - the current government has survived so many scandals - it's almost as if the press and the people are colluding to keep them in power. Why do the protests in other countries have more effect than here?
