If you are old enough to see it (rated R), I heartily recommend doing so.

Not so much for the events, or the terrorism, but the ideas behind it. Ideas which are best summed up by the movie itself:

"People should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people."


The Postman

"Not Tonight" it looks like a cool movie

You're a Brit and you haven't heard of V for Vendetta, or are you talking about "Not Tonight"?

In case it's the former, V is a movie about this terrorist/revolutionary named V who plots to overthrow a fascist British government by pulling a Guy Fawkes (he wears a Fawkes mask) and blowing up Parliament. It's a great movie, and it's by the Wachowskis, which means it is deep in a superficial sort of way.

I'm going to see it this evening.  Is this a brain fart, or were the Wachowskis the creaters of the Matrix movies?  Maybe I am thinking of another Polish name.

Jack

They are.

Though, to be fair, the W's wrote the Matrix movies and directed them, they only produced V. You can see their influence in it though.

Just got home from seeing it.  It confused me like a lot of movies do.  Very, very good though.

Yeah, Nabooru has a bit of a point.  It's ok to bring up old topics for relevancy issues, but nobody has brought this up to discuss.

Try watching Independance Day, like 10 years old, but still pretty good.
