V for Vendetta, 1984, but what you are today? A couple of days ago, between paracetamol and an antibiotic (10 days Curse of fever), I revised V for Vendetta ...
not remember what this movie is clearly inspired by 1984's Orwell, is present in today's (forgive me, I still can not write in capital letters). In particular I would cite a speech that V (the main character, a cross between a terrorist, a revolutionary and a savior) is the nation, a London-Fanta 2019 (because they always choose London, England?), Crack the system broadcast television Goven:

Good evening, London. First of all please apologize for this interruption. As many of you I appreciate the comforts of routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition . I enjoy it as much as anyone else. But in the spirit of commemoration, that important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or after an awful bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November 5th, one day unfortunately sunk into oblivion, by subtracting a bit 'of time in everyday life, to sit and chat. Some will want to take away the word, I suspect that at this time orders are being shouted on the phone and will soon reach the gunmen. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power, because they are the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is that there is something terribly wrong with this country . Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your consent to this. How did it happen? Whose fault is it? Certainly there are those more responsible than others will have to answer for all this but once again, to tell the truth, if you look for the culprit .. you need only look in the mirror . I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. And who would not have had? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and mental chaos meant that you turned to the High Chancellor, Adam Sutler. He has promised peace and order in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I tried to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed in our memory forever on November 5. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown, I advise you to let go unnoticed November 5. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you are looking for as I am, I ask you to stand beside me, a year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them on November 5 that will never be forgotten.

I took the liberty of highlighting some points, which are cornerstones in my opinion. Why even among us the truth is something that is constantly being manipulated, even by us because we can identify as the cause of our ills sloth, because even the things we are perceived by all as marches, but ignored in the name of a quiet-living so loved by Italians. I remember
Orwell's 1984 (please read it, and "Animal Farm
), where people knew of corruption and government manipulation, they knew they were continually misled by false news and information manipulation. But likewise knew they had to think the opposite of what was obvious in the book is called "THOUGHT-BI" like having a front open hand with three fingers, and know to make the case that in reality are 4 ...
do not know if I can make myself understood by those who have not read the book, probably in fact the concept is closely tied to the story, so I invite you again to buy a copy.
In any case, what we breathe around us, what anyone with any sense of critical senses just turn on the tv ...
... Roman said "we are to take him by the ass" ... : D
Update 03/17/2009 I know that I am not alone in perceiving the problem, apparently
... even the same movie and the same piece ...
