v for vendetta
another friday night with koi vivi and josh. first went to their recommended indian restaurant at west end after much searching in vain for the vietnamese place i went earlier but couldn't seem to find that strip of eateries, so settle for an outside table at punjabi palace (the indian place). punjabi apparently means those indians with huge cloth hat thingy wrapping all their hair since birth, which is sort of discussing thought in a restaurant but the food was ok. decently made and i trust it is of true indian flavour. spicy hot beef and chicken in very muddy sauce with curry rice was the main course, and there were "naan" with curry and cheese. rather simple stuff. mango "lassi" is just mango ice yogurt, nother special there.
after the 63 dollar meal we drove up and queued for parking space for V for vendetta. After mirai's remark about the shittiness of the film my expectation was so low that i thought it's destined to flop just like some other hyped film (eg. history of violence). but surprisingly it's not to disappoint. v for vendetta is a thoughtfully made film about a revenge-seeking crazy outlaw that survived a government conspiracy mastermind plan and came back seeking justice the old fashioned way right down to the end. natalie portman is strikingly beautiful. she is indeed comparable to elizabeth taylor in that egyptian queen film. the plot is entirely politically motivated i dare to say. london tube train and american war, how familiar is that? so happy ending in the end where both the good guy and the bad guy dies and british people found their parliament house blown up in a very musically orchestrated way. so at this brief instant their masks were taken off, symbolizing, i dunno, that all fake cover ups and conspiracies were taken off from the population or sth? symbolism is everywhere. so at that precise moment in the film, britain is a headless state where the entire government is almost wiped out save for that detective dude and possibly some opposition party. and i suppose with a superior legal and administration tradition britain will rebuild itself from the scrap and re-emerge refreshed, or will they? there will always be gullible people and cunning governments will always find a way to obtain majority support one way or the other. how is it possible to educate and gain support from your electorate at the same time? paul said today that government should be elected only from the gifted few. and how exactly to protect the state from the mischiefs of the gifted few once they are in power? how do you select those will truly be beneficial to the state from those who put their own ideologies first in the pool of the gifted few? not sure and it's a question leading to many blown heads. all in all it's a beautifully involving film from the makers of matrix series. just felt like michael moore had a hand in the designing of the theme though. it's totally anti current government.
