I loved this movie!! I thought it was awesome how V was portrayed as both a hero AND a terrorist. I'm going to own this movie on DVD, just you wait and see.
I live in *glitter* and MaDnEsS...

Some of my friends bought tickets to see this but then the usher kicked them out because they weren't old enough. (14) It looks pretty good though.
That's Bonanabizlry to you, mister.

Wrong a terrorist is a political animal they use fear and violence to bring about politcal change that suits their agendas witness Iran and the PIRA for current examples, The Red Worker's Faction and the Baader Meinhof gang

"Terrorist" is in the eye of the beholder. To the totalitarian government, he's a terrorist. To the people, he's a hero. But to clarify, V never uses fear or intentionally harms civilians to do anything. (And terrorists do not use fear, they use violence to incite fear. They care nothing of politics.) V kills only members of the government. If you see the movie, you will not see him as a terrorist. The government is too awful, too oppressive, and the people he kills too immoral for you to have an anything but favorable opinion of him.
A lo hecho, pecho.

one who uses fear and the harming of civilians to inspire political change in a terrorist

From what Euterpe said, he's not a terrorist he's a revolutionary. Hadn't heard of this one before, but it sounds pretty good. Sure, I'll watch it.

I don't know how a terroist as a hero is gonna play out in the long run

My father says it's excellent. And he has fairly good taste in movies. So while I find you to be persuasive... it has more to do with my father, I think I'm going like in a few weeks when it's at the cheap theater.
