While I know in the back of my mind that there's some really questionable themes and ideas in this movie, I can't help loving it, personally. It's been one of my favorites since I first saw it, though apparently if you've read the graphic novel, it's a horrible adaptation. Never was into those, though. Hugo Weaving just owns that performance, and I for one like the fact that it isn't clear whether V is a hero or a villain.

Plus, I like it way, way, way more than the Matrix films. I always find it surprising that they were directed by the same people.

Edit: Just to be clear, I mean all the supposed pro-anarchy, pro-solving-your-problems-with-violence messages in the film. Even if they're there, I personally don't care about them, though a lot of people hate this movie because of them.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
