phoenixastraeaSo, this turned into an awesome night. I was organizing my DVD's tonight and I really wanted my Gparents to watch the V speech from V for Vendetta. They were so amazed by it that they wanted to watch the whole thing right then and there.
Now, you have to understand; my gparents are very right wing; Christian, Republican, the works. They're really incredible people but I wasn't sure how they'd react to all the anarchy etc. Either way, they wanted to see it and I was more than happy to oblige them.
And they absolutely loved it. They adored the entire thing and want to see it again. Gdad thought that Natalie Portman should have won an award for her performance and Gma said that she thought she was crazy when she thought she saw expressions in the mask. They were as compelled by it as I was and when I sat there and discussed the matter of people dismissing the film as "a terrorist movie", my grandfather said, "Well then they clearly have no idea what the movie is about and have no desire to see the truth".
Yeah, I nearly cried.
Damn, they rule. They saw how much there was to the film and were very moved by it. No matter how many times I see this film, it still has the power to move me. And others.
So, ladies and gents; continue to spread the gospel of V...its been over a year and we're still gaining converts.
In wrestling news, the TNA Primetime show was absolutely incredible. They've got to expand it to two hours.
