CanadianGuy -> movie review: V for Vendetta (great BDSM action!) (4/2/2006 4:19:08 AM)

Hey all. I just got back from "V for Vendetta". I went and saw it alone, on a whim. I was going to see Fatal Attraction 2 but I felt like a pervert asking for a ticket for 1 to that... :p Turns out I saw a much pervier choice! Cha-ching!
Mild spoilers ahead, so if you plan to see it (you should), you may want to skim! I won't give away much.
The movie was a masterpiece, IMO. I'm not much of a cultured type - more of a nerd. Yeah, I liked the Matrix, GATTACA, and Strange Days. Well, this was kind of a combination of all three. Set about 30 years in the future in Great Britain (because the USA is little more than a bunch of warring colonies), it depicts one year in the life of a few individuals. "V", Evey, and a handful of cops and corrupt politicians. Throw in some classical music, explosions, fountains of blood (confined to one scene for the most part), and a runon sentence with about 50 words starting with the letter V, and you've got something worth seeing! It has a plot that's simple enough to enjoy and understand, while at the same time being complicated enough so you don't feel your intelligence is insulted. The vision of the future (culture, politics, religion) is mostly skimmed over, but there's enough interesting detail to give you a glimpse, which leaves you wondering and trying to fill in the gaps.
There was a disturbingly (in a good way) large amount of nastiness going on in this movie. It was all done in a way that the average vanilla person wouldn't take offense, but for us BDSMers, there was PLENTY of eye (and brain) candy!
- lots of big sharp knives
- rope
- blindfolds / black velvet bags over heads
- handcuffs
- ball gag
- a quick glimpse of some bondage photographs in frames on a wall
- a sinister, dominating, confident protagonist wearing a creepy mask, black cape, and boots who sports an array of weapons, sharp wit, deep commanding voice, and a strong sense of possessiveness
- a girl forced to her knees
- perky nipples pressing against a tight shirt
- a hebephilic (attracted only to girls just out of puberty) naughty priest
- a petite girl with her hair done in ringlets, wearing a very short babydoll dress and high heels, with the intention of seducing the above priest (it worked)
- three guys corner an innocent young woman in a dark alley and attempt to have some fun
- imprisonment
- humiliation
- strip searches
- verbal abuse
- physical and psychological torture
- slapping
- coercion
- a cane
- two pretty young girls find true love (some girl on girl kissing throw in for good measure of course)
- hands around throats
- pulling hair
- probably more that I'm forgetting
Some of this stuff you may have to watch closely for, and it might not be as sexual as I made it out to be by listing it all together like that, but it's all in there. :)
All this with ZERO nudity or sex. But trust me, I enjoyed every minute of it! Not just because of the HUGE abundance of kink, but because it was truly an amazing film. A little over two hours of brilliance, in my opinion. 9/10. I would definitely pay the ten bucks to see it in theatre again.
