V For Vendetta comes with a brand new 2160p UHD transfer that is HDR10 enhanced that was made from the original camera negative. The plastic case itself has different amazing artwork consisting of Natalie Portman's character. This is encased in a cardboard sleeve with some new artwork of V and his dagger covered in blood. The discs are housed in a hard, black plastic eco-friendly case with an insert for the digital code. V For Vendetta plots its way to 4K+Blu-ray+Digital Copy inside a great looking standard case. Vital Disc Stats: The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray V For Vendetta still holds up today and is as relevant and true as it was some 35 years ago, which is actually truly horrifying. Hugo Weaving ( The Matrix, Lord Of The Rings) was an excellent last-minute choice for V as well, narrating the entire film with his impeccable accent and delivery. Natalie Portman went the full distance with her performance and physical appearance in shaving her head for the role, and she is very good with her struggle as the Evey character, despite her British accent that goes in and out from American to British. It's not a bad thing either, but the attention to detail in the set design, costumes, and actions are remarkable. The action sequences are visually striking with that Wachowski stamp on it, along with some very deep and meaningful conversations in between. Now even though McTeigue is billed as the director here, it's very evident that The Wachowski's had a heavy influence with its style, camera-work, and story-telling that is reminiscent of their previous Matrix movies. These two help each other out by dismantling the highest political party members one-by-one, by way of blowing up buildings, hijacking the news, and exposing the horrifying deeds of the government, and asking the good citizens to stand up on the 5th of November and demand justice, fairness, and freedom - something that is all too real and relevant today, including the exposed religious leaders who sexually prey on young people, violent law enforcement, heavy censorship of all forms in the media, and the evilness of a dictatorship. Meanwhile, Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman), an employee of the state-run news station is attacked by the police, where she is saved by V, a polite man in a Guy Fawkes mask who is a highly-skilled anarchist, looking to take down, destroy, and exact revenge on the government who experimented on him, leaving his body disfigured when the party took control. The citizens are under a strict curfew and are being fed lies and fear in order to stay home and accept whatever the government tells them. The film is set in the very near future in Britain, which has been upheaved by a totalitarian government, led by the High Chancellor Adam Sutler, who is the founder of a political party similar to the Nazis. It's extremely frightening to see just how far ahead of its time V For Vendetta was with its subsequent book and movie releases. Bush administration and drew up some strong parallels with that era, but as of 2020, V For Vendetta rings even louder and is quite disturbing in its many similarities to the current climate of the United States with all of the police brutality, curfews, and quarantines that have happened this year, not to mention the on-going push for a totalitarian regime that is actively wanting and pushing for the death of many people by spreading lies and misinformation to the mass public. The film version was made during the George W. Being made in 2006 for the mainstream world, certain differences for the adaptation from page to screen was taken much to the dismay, of course, with Alan Moore who prefers a 100% faithful adaptation of his work each time. This story was written in the '80s and took place in the UK under the Margaret Thatcher government. After the success of The Matrix Trilogy, The Wachowskis took on the iconic 1988 comic book V For Vendetta by Alan Moore ( The Watchmen) and David Lloyd, adapting it for the big screen in 2006, and giving their assistant director on The Matrix movies James McTeigue the role of director.
