BizzleCast 169: V FOR VENDETTA Film Commentary feat. Simi Climo

For a movie that was both praised and criticized at it’s time of release in 2006 for being what seemed (on the surface) and anti-Bush retelling of Alan Moore’s classic Reagan-era graphic novel, V FOR VENDETTA actually comes off today prophetically anti-Trump instead. Add in Natalie Portman’s spectacular post-Prequel rebirth and the much more human and less pretentious reading of philosophical themes from THE MATRIX in regards to control vs chaos and the triumph of the human spirit and you have a movie that holds up amazingly well both cinematically and thematically. Join Simi Climo and I as we revisit this classic, produced and written by The Wachowskis as a film that many argue achieved what the Matrix sequels did not. Commentary starts at 17:30 - we have a longer opening discussion than usual before we start.
