the movie was fun watching and in a very indirect and far off way people can relate to their state of affairs in the US....however to me, personally it reminded me more of Pinochet's Chile in terms of silence of society, and how there was a veneer that everything was great and improving, when underneath there were signs that it wasn't so. In a way it reminded me of that novel "1984", although with different plot...I also disliked the view of destroying the Parliament building. What will the sequel be? a democracy turned "rule of the mobs and masses" revolutionary style turning more autocratic? I dunno. Good effects, but was not as good as I expected it to be.

It’s working.  

We are making good use of the powerful concept of en masse activist resistance used in the movie, “V for Vendetta.”
 
“V” is helping us as we build support for the unalienable Right to a Response from Government to our Petitions for Redress of Grievances regarding the Government’s violation of the war powers, tax, privacy and money clauses of the Constitution.
 
“V” is helping us as we educate the public about the First Amendment’s guarantee of our Right to Petition Government for Redress of Grievances.

On November 6, 2006, a lone man in a “V” mask and clothing visited security checkpoints at the White House, the main Treasury Building, the Department of Justice and the Capitol, to deliver a letter and the Petitions for Redress.....The letter informed the leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government that up to 100 people in “V” masks and clothing would gather in silent vigil at those locations on November 14th to await a response to the Petitions for Redress.
